• 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.

Small Graphics Job needed

Dave, ArmySon,

I like both of your buttons. You guys could even go a step further though if you wanted to and change the black background to transparent like Jeff and I did those little red taget icons. Rich is too nice of a guy to mention it, but I'm not... hee hee :)

...and I wasn't just using it as an excuse earlier, I really did like the "gun-metal" blue of the original buttons. Using AOL (which is a form of IE) the buttons were not purple, but blue...

Son-
For the "Post New Topic" button, I think the color styles used in the other buttons would work...needs to be tried.

For the "Reply Button", which is on the blue background, how about we reverse the colors:
#F7F7F7 is the off-white used in the tables. Use that as the background
Use the background blue from the other buttons for type.

Just saw this thread. Looks like I missed out on a chance to be useful. Does someone have this covered or should I do these?
 
Rich,
Here's the matching "user cp" button:

The others, like you said, may need to be redesigned. I'm pretty good at changing existing designs, but designing from scratch isn't my strong suit.

Here's two of the main buttons, the reply is changed to match the new thread button, but still may not show up against the darker blue bar. I think the black border helps it to show up until we get a new design.

One idea I had was to recolor the old topic and reply buttons. Do you have a link to them for me to have something to start with?

Will continue working on other, smaller buttons.
