• 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.

minor bug (hanging chad)

check out the button for the lower post new topic button
see the hanging chad?
here is the code:
<A HREF="newthread.php?action=newthread&forumid=12"> <IMG SRC="images/topic4.jpg" BORDER=0 ALT="Post New Thread"> </A>

that blank space before the </a> is being seen as a linked text item

the upper instance of the same button is coded correctly:
<A HREF="newthread.php?action=newthread&forumid=12"><IMG SRC="images/topic4.jpg" BORDER=0 ALT="Post New Thread"></A>
 
Yup, Good Catch.

dZ's right. At any forum list of threads, look at the bottom "Post New Topic" link. Immediately following it is a single underscore character. It is there because the space in front of the </A> is read as part of the html name of the link.

Everything between the <A HREF="newthread.php?action=newthread&forumid=12"> and the </A>, spaces included, is made part of the name.
