    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.

Spell Check

Was wondering if a spell check could be added for the guys ( and ladies:) ) that can't spell worth a crap ( or type worth a crap:eek: ) I noticed over on Packing.org that they put one on and it makes it much nicer. Don't know if it takes too much bandwidth or not but it would be a nice addiction to the site.
 
For those who care...
Can always do the post in your word processor program, edit there and then paste into the TFL page.

At least a few here compose in their word processors, then cut and paste to TFL. The effort does two things: The more obvious is the spell check and even grammer check; the more subtle and, I think, better effect is that the extra time allows more thought, sparing us from some replies better left unposted and improving some that are posted.
 
"Hoping for an answer from the staff."

Ok, here goes. It is practically impossible for us at TFL to add a spell check function to the medieval editor supplied by vBulletin. Until vB adds that function, there won't be one here.

Sam's advice is best. Or you can use the online spell checker at http://www.spellcheck.net/ .

Hemicuda - I want a piece of that action because I think you're 100% correct.
 
Or, of course, you could always do what Mal does...

Has one of his legion of servants at Mal Acres read the messages to him, to which he dictates an answer while a comely chamber maided feeds him peeled grapes... :)
