• 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.

Suggestion for private message screens...

When deleting a private message, either received or sent, you have to click the check box next to it and then hit delete.

How feasible/useful would it be to put a button on the screen that would check all of the boxes if doing a mass-delete clean up?
 
There is a way to do that, Mike. It just isn't very apparent.

On top of the list of messages is a blue bar with titles for all the columns in it. Above the "checkbox column" is an unmarked and quite unassuming little checkbox there in the blue title bar. If you click that box, it will automatically select all of the messages showing in the window.

I heard somewhere that a bug in a program can be changed instantly into a feature, simply by documenting it. I guess the designers of vBulletin never heard that one. ;)
