Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Question How do you transfer downloaded files into your library?

With the program, there is no shared file to move music to player to be transfered to mp3 player. Where do I go to get the files?

LimeWire's integrated mp3 player is a piece of junk anyway. You'll have fewer distortions and blips and crap when you use native player software (winamp, xmms, itunes, whatever).

LimeWire can't play videos anyway. To add your shared folder to your library read the posts above.

Kreiger88, thanks for your help with blocking unwanted leech vendors.

However, with your download

(http://mitglied.lycos.de/mdsgeist/LimeWire.zip)

I now no longer have all the search options, e.g. album, genre, etc., only 'filename'.

Does this matter or are these multi-search options just put in one search string anyway?

btw, what exactly does your tag mean?

Also check to see what that box says on the "sharing' option. I'm sure that if you get those two directories in sync, all will be good in your filesharing world!


I KNOW WHERE MY FILES ARE GOING! THEY ARE GOING TO PROGRAM FILES! HOW DO I GET THE TO THEN GO INTO MY LIBRARY ON LIMEWIRE?PLEASE HELP!

Lightbulb WMP9 busts share/save settting

Sorry for cross-post, but I think some of the seeming illiterates may be runnning into a real problem that I've been having since downloading windows media player 9. Suddenly, all sub-folders of Program Files (thus the default shared/library directory) are set to read-only, so LimeWire won't let you save files to the default shared directory. I didn't touch limewire, and suddenly it's saving to user-specific "my files" directories, but still sharing from the now read-only shared dir.

Worse, the read-only permission setting can't seem to be unset (I try, and it just reverts to read-only). I could set LimeWire to use a desktop folder for sharing/saving, but that seems like a hack (and I don't really want to move gigs of files either... fragmentation much?).

Long story short, it's a very real possibility that people are simply unable to set their save and shared directories to be the same location due to a windows media player-caused permissions problem (I should say "apparently WMP9-caused," but I've read enough posts about it here and elsewhere that I'm pretty sure this is not a coincidence).

I'm terrified of uninstalling WMP9, since last time I uninstalled such an embedded MS product, I got the blue screen of death.

HELP!!!
