• 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.

Read through your announcement, as best I could. As it came up on my screen, the text was wider than my screen, requiring a lot of horizontal scrolling. Not a serious problem.

In any event, while most of the technical aspects of the now fixed, one hopes, problem went over my head, the whole thing sounds like illegal acts were involved, I would think at least "trespass", or whatever they call the act of screwing with another persons site. If you can determine who the guilty party is, perhaps not really doable, whom would you look to re instituting criminal prosecution. Seems that interstate commerce would clearly be involved, therefore "the feds", but then I'm not an attorney.

Anyhow, hpope that you are able to completely "de-bug", and rig the thing so as to keep the bugs out in future.
 
The page size issue seems to hit people with older versions of Internet Explorer.

Once I upgraded to 5.0+, the problem went away.

If you're running an older version of IE, chances are upgrading will take care of it.
