• 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.

Private messages

Well, we kinda wish you would answer Bud's question.

What happens when you push the "Private Messages" link up in the "Welcome ..." box? Do you a message, blank screen, what?
 
Everything looks fine in your account. Even so, I just reset your private message permissions. It's a shot in the dark, so to speak. See if you can get to them now (I doubt that it would change anything). If not, we'll see if our system guru, tyme, has a solution.
 
This is what I still get

It says I am not logged in..I login.. It thanks me for logging in and then I get this screen: Anyway thank's for trying to help.

You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and try again.
You may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

1) leave TFL

2) clear your cookies

3) after clearing your cookies, come back to TFL and login. When logging in, be sure to click the little box that says "Remember me?" next to the login box.

See if that works...

HappyGunner why would you lead me astray by saying:
I get a screen telling me I am not allowed to view private messages.
Click to expand...
when the message actually said you were not logged in? How does that help me with the diagnosis?

Do what pax suggested, and it should clear up the problem.

Yeah, you must login in the upper right hand corner first, and then log in to search for posts created by yourself, or someone else...

Like pax. ;)
