• 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.

Howzabout this:

Center the Search link at the top of each page, bolded, blinking, and +8 font size.

How about making it the equal of the "Post New Topic" and "Post Reply" buttons? Same look and make it the first one in line. ;) :)
 
The problem with these types of fixes is that they require a hack be placed in the UBB Code. This causes us to have to hack it on each new release.

I think we were both being facetious. The point was to have folks perform a search before asking a question that has been hashed and rehashed ad nauseum.
 
Good Morning Coinneach, Mal, Rich, & Dennis-

Couldn't agree with the notion of these suggestions more!

While trying to remain patient with newcomers to our sport and TFL in particular, it's getting tougher and tougher to see posts like these without screaming:

"What is the best carry handgun?" or "What is the best combat shotgun?"

Heck, I completely scanned this forum going back 100 days to make certain that nobody had asked it already....and all I had to do was ride on Coinneach's initial message!

Thank you for considering making SEARCH more prominent on the pages.

Regards,
