• 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.

Unable to Delete Attachments

I would like to delete all my attachments but the option is not available... Help please... These files are using up my allotted space preventing me from uploading other photos.
 
I have two attachments taking up space and would like them deleted.
Click to expand...

They can easily be deleted.

1. Click "user CP" - upper left
2. Under "miscellaneous", click "attachments" - lower left
3. Select attachments to be deleted - box to right of attachment.
4. Click "delete selected" at right... below box column.
5. All gone.

Cheers,
C
 
The checkbox is missing... Therefore, I can't select the files to be deleted. For some reason the check box option is not on the usual location ...
 
Huh... might be because you only have 10 posts. Usually it takes 25 plus and a short bit of computer "re-catagorizing" before all features become available. So... keep on postin'. ;)

Weird because I was able to delete other attachments earlier today. Could it be that the threads where these photos were posted were closed/locked?
 
YIS - There is an upload limit, but you are no where near it at the moment. You have used approximately 1/3rd of 1 percent of your allotment. That's why I was curious if you had seen an error message or some other reason you thought you had reached your limit.

Anyway, as you surmised, the reason you can't delete the attachments is that the thread containing them (the one you resurrected from the dead) had been closed. For several reasons, attachments can't be deleted from a closed thread. If you do need them to be deleted, reply here, and I'll delete them for you. Otherwise, let's leave them there since your posts mention the attachments.
