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.

Apologies for the non sequitur, but it would be really good of one you developers to take a look at the posts on "Could not move to library". This is not in regard to low disk space, but a new, extremely troublesome problem introduced with the latest edition of Limewire. Until two days ago, I had few problems with limewire, and was considering paying the reasonable fee. I downloaded the new version (after dismissing the nag dialogue 5000 times), and now am stuck with inoperable software. This is not cool, and a few comments from you in some of these posts might point people in the right direction.

We'll have a look at it. Thanks. Does it happen for you with every download?

Do you need to be logged in as root or something to get this to work? It appears to be searching only my home folder, rather than the applications folder, where Limewire actually resides.

That's very strange. What version was giving you the problems you mentioned previously? Have you tried 2.8.0?

Where the heck do you get 2.8? I just downloaded this from the Limewire site two days ago. Isn't this the most current edition?! I'm not sure I follow you. I'll be glad to try 2.8, if you can tell me where to get it.

Addendum:
I just went back and tried the first post... type "java -jar " then drag limewire.jar to it, [return]

That worked perfectly, whereas RunLime.jar didn't. Got any ideas? Should it work this way?


After working for a few minutes, I went to "about Limewire" to see what version this claims to be. It never came up, and after a few moments, Limewire quit. Terminal returned this:

lewinb% java -jar /Applications/LimeWire/LimeWire.jar
kCGErrorFailure : CGTranslateCTM is obsolete; use CGContextTranslateCTM instead.
CGGStack.c:87: failed assertion `stack->count > 0'
Abort


SO, I tried it a second time, and found that as soon as I clicked anywhere on the menubar (in this case to get stats), Terminal returned:
lewinb% java -jar /Applications/LimeWire/LimeWire.jar
kCGErrorFailure : CGTranslateCTM is obsolete; use CGContextTranslateCTM instead.

BUT, Limewire has not as yet quit.

OK, now, after letting it sit here for about an hour, it's pretty much at a standstill. The spinning beachball of death is continuous, and Termal has now returned the following:

Very interesting -- thanks for all of the debugging information. I assume you got all of these errors with LimeWire 2.8.0 beta?

The problem appears to be related to us using an outmoded API for the About and preferences window. Apple has changed the API for this a couple of times now, so we might not be doing everything we should.

I'm also starting to become convinced that there are serious problems with LimeWire on 10.2.2 (I'm using 10.2.1 here). Did you ever use LimeWire before you had 10.2.2, and did you experience these types of problems?

Thanks again.

Default 2.8.0 is unusable on Mac OS X

Adam.

I'm still on 10.2.1 running LimeWire 2.8.0 Beta

1. impossible to launch LimeWire from the application. Window Manager claims 97% of the CPU and Forced Quit takes 5 minutes to complete.

2. launching from the Termianl Window allows LimeWire to run normally, but it may or maynot be possible to run other applications simultaneously. I haven't yet found a pattern for when Window Manager goes bonkers and when it doesn't.

3. Even if eveything runs OK, all (count them ALL) downloads end with the Unable to move to Library bug.

In short, 2.8.0 is unusable on Mac OS X.

Are you running a system with multiple users? Did you get these problems with 2.7.13?

Thanks.
