• 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.

Problem opening threads

I have been having problems opening threads in several of the forums. I click on the thread to open it as normal and then the computer sits there and the bar at the bottom of the screen indicating the thread is loading inches, well millimeters along. The thread never does open. I tried to open Hardball's threads in this forum and only the one with no replies would open. I can't get into anything in General, all the threads except the once cited here in Suggestions, and that is as far as I have gone.
 
I've noticed that lately the response time is so long that sometimes my browser times out and gives me the "page not found" error page.
 
When was the last time that happened, Libertarian? If it was this AM, it was me working in the back room. This changeover has been really taxing as we've tried to do the maintenance without shutting the site down for several days.

I was probably the cause this AM.

My problem was Sunday night. Thanks Rich, for all your efforts. Now if you could find a Cray for the home computer.
