• 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 with General Discussion Forum

There seems to be a problem with General Discussion Forum software. It does not bring up past threads when requested. If I select say "Last five days" it displays only the first topic on each page. With the search function disabled this greatly reduces the usefulness of this forum.
 
To save on bandwidth and load times the software only displays the first 25 threads. You will need to look at the bottom right of the page and it will show you "Pages: 1 2" to navigate through more then 25 threads.
 
On a forum which doesn't work I see the first thread on each page and then a blue bar with two pale grey bars above it. No threads appear but ocasionally there will be a fragment of data in one of the grey bars such as a name or a date. If I select show threads for the last five or ten days I see the same thing on every page except the last one which is normal and displays the threads properly.
