• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Marking posts as read on a by-forum basis

1. Could it be possible to do a "catch-up" (mark as read) on a by-forum basis instead of globally? New posts are added so frequently, by the time one reads through several forums, the first one is full of new posts already. Marking all forums as read at that point may cause one to miss an important post.

2. I noticed that at some point many posts and entire folders get marked as read even though I did not request it. Is this some kind of an automated feature I am not aware of? It usually happens at night to me (I want to say around 1 am, but I am not really sure).
 
1. Not in the current release of the vB software. You can do what I do to somewhat alleviate the problem and simply note what time you pushed the "mark all" button. Then if a forum has a newer post than that time even though it is now mark as all read, go take a look.

2. I don't think so, could be wrong. I've had that time slot bracketed almost every single night since the inception of the vB SW and haven't noticed an auto-mark-all.
