• 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.

New TFL software

Rich,

The new software looks good and it looks as though you've put a lot of work into it. A few picky little complaints follow -- you asked for feedback, right? :)

1) It'd be good if the threads were color coded for which have been read and which haven't;

and

2) When looking at the 'topics' page, the thread titles are hard to read because the column is too skinny; for example, a post titled "To Gunslinger, about your belly bands" takes up three lines. Can you scootch the columns so that the topic space is bigger and who posted last is smaller? Might make it easier to skim topics.

Overall, a pleasing change. Thanks for your hard work!

The threads are color coded the same as here:
If there's new posts, they're black.
If there's no new posts, they're black. ;)
The discerning feature is the colored foldres, same as here.

I agree about that first column....I've tried to clean it up, but without success. I know there's a solution, though.
