Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. 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.

Default Bug Squashing Challenge! (open for users and devs)

Phex is nearing its first full release for almost 8 months, and I decided to take the chance to start some small game:

The

Bug Squashing Challenge


Rules of the game:

Everyone who finds a not-yet-known bug, gets one Spot-point.
Everyone who fixes a bug and submits the changes (either as patch or directly in cvs), gets one Squasher-point.

As soon as the release ships all points get added together and the one with the most points makes it into the Bug Squashing Hall of Fame and his or her name will stay there as long as the data lives on.


Hall of Fame
Release 2.2:
- Top Spotter: lokad
- Top Squatter. GregorK


All Bugs count!
(except those already in this thread and those in earlier versions)

We will keep track of the Bug-Spots and Squashes in this thread.
Naturally I am excluded from posting Bugs, but anyone can post Squashes.

A Spot must at the very least include the following information:

- What happened?
- Where did it happen (download-pane, preferences-network, etc)?
- Your Operating System (Windows XP/2000/98/95/...., MacOSX 10.1/10.2.6/10.3.8/..., Linux-version, other)
- Why did it Bug you? (did it cost time or did it destroy a precious download, or did it just look a bit strange? ... )
- How should we call you?

A Squash must include your Alias and an attached patch (or your cvs-Alias, so we can doublecheck).

The following Bugs are already too well known for reporting (so that noone just checks the database and wins even before the challenge starts - Squashing them still gives a point ):

- German localisation not yet complete
- Doesn't work behind my router/NAT (that's a configuration-thing for your router, but UPnP could help here someday)

Here comes the

Bug Squashing List

- Connections over SOCKS didn't work. Squashed by GregorK (in cvs by tonight).
- sizes / visibility of dialogs. Spotted by lokad - Squashed by GregorK


How far do you manage to get up in the Spot-Shqasher Ranking?
I'll update this Liste eveery few days, so you can always check your Score.
Can you get to the Top?

Bug-Squasher Ranking

1. Place: Gregork (0 / 2)
2. Place: lokad (1 / 0)
...


Now it's your time! Fire up Phex and sharpen your glasses, or get that good old Squasher of yours from the code-cabinet and go squashing!

(The most recent Beta of Phex can be downloaded here: http://phex.kouk.de/download.php )

Default sizes / visibility of dialogs

- What happened?
Dialogs where not visible and just partly visible after resizing. Then there was a huge space in the lower right corner and the component stuck in the upper left one (happened only once in each tested java version). The rows in the different tables are either too small or too wide (height) and also the pane headers, menu entries and menuitems are too high (height). This happened with blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01, but not with sun-jdk-1.5.0.01 (ther was only _one time_ the prob that the really-shut-down-? dialog was only displayed after resizing it, never happened again)
- Where did it happen?
*Anywhere*
- Your Operating System
Linux 2.6.11 mm4
- Windowmanager
wmi-10
- Why did it Bug you?
It did just look a bit strange
- How should we call you?

This is a difficult bug to reproduce and to fix. Actually the plattform together with the Java VM and the selected Look and Feel (Skin) is responsible to layout the dialogs and elements.
You can try to use a different Look and Feel and check after a restart if there are still the same problems. It might be that certain Look and Feels behave wrong on some plattforms.
The Look and Feel controlls anything from component sizes, layout and fonts. Phex only uses thirdparty LaFs, like Plastic or the standard Java LaF Metal.
