• 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.

my quote button doesn't work

Let me walk you through the steps I am taking and maybe you can tell what I am doing wrong

1. Left button highlight text
2. Right button copy funtion
3. Right button paste function in reply window

This inserts the text. I have been having to manually add the quote and unquote backets.

I have attempted to left button highlight the text in the reply box and use the quote botton and no brackets are inserted.

I have attempted to use the quote button with the text unhighlighted.

Neither way works.

What am I not doing right?

Having to add the quote brackets manually is kind of pain considering there is supposed to a function that will do it for me.
 
If you can successfully highlight the text in the reply window, and pressing the quote button (

) doesn't add the quote tags, then the problem is on your end and is most likely a Java or Active-X problem (functions not turned on or outdated).
