• 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.

Monthly photo contest

A question about posting a photo for the contest:

I read the FAQ and it describes two ways to add a picture to your posting:
As an attachment, or as a URL from another source. As an attachment seems to be the easist, most direct method. I currently don't subscribe to one of the photo storage services where I could upload a picture to their server and then link it to a posting here.

I also read the rules for submitting photos for the contest and it says there is a problem with adding your image as an attachment vs. 'in line' I'm not quite clear what the issue was with attaching, and I'm not quite clear what 'in line' refers to.

Can someone clarify for me how the images are uploaded in the monthly photo postings?

Thanks

Chaz
