• 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.

TFL keeps locking up

Sirs,

Every time I click on a link in a posted message, say to view an attached photo, TFL locks up completely. I have to close down TFL and re-establish the connection. This does not happen with other forums.

Wait a while, and test again. Try other websites at nearly the same time to confirm that it is TFL specific.

Could be the server, could be anything.
 
More than likely it is your computer and not TFL. Follow Sven's advice and let us know if the problem persists.

I would also suggest restarting your computer. It sounds suspiciously like an 'out of memory' error. Are you on a Mac or a PC? What browser and version are you using?
 
Gee Jason, your comment was so helpful. I can see you gave it a lot of thought and research. NOT!

All,

Whatever was the problem seems to have cured itself. FYI, I did switch to other forums at the same time I was having problems with TFL and I had no problems on any other site.
Oh well, all is well now.
