• 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.

Quick reply?

I'm new here and on every other forum there was a quick reply box under the thread. Just wondering if it got taken away or if you guys never had it.
 
Oh. I've always thought it was easier, since I never really needed all the functions the main response box has.

A simple text box is all I need. Plus, no waiting for the page to load. :)

We've never had it enabled here. To be honest, I'm not sure why.

Um, because it encourages folks to reply to a thread without reading the thread? Not that anything will stop people from doing this, but why make it easier?
 
Sorry, Al, but I don't see how having the Quick Reply box would change that aspect at all. Only if the "Post Reply" buttons were on the last page only of all threads could I see that. (IMO, that would be a great addition to the software!)

You might be confusing the Quick Reply box with the "Reply with quote" button that is located in each and every post - that is, it would be if we didn't nuke them from the gitgo.
