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.

What was your previous version of LW? What type of a mac do you have & what specifications?

Edit: wow my posting must be slow! I didn't even see your post when I posted this. The forum's running slow but this is ridiculous.

Send us a pm & specify the version you require. I'll see if I have a recently released version. But please answer my above question.

Default Thanks lord of the rings for responding

I have an emac os10.3.9 and I don't remember which version of limewire I had before but it didn't have the junk filter on it. I have had limewire for about 6 months and never had any problems until last week when I downloaded limewire 4.10.5. I have tried many of the fixes listed in other threads and am just about to give up on limewire even though I used to love it. I can't work on anything else when limewire is on and that is not good.

Just saw your edited post. Guess the forum is going a little slow . As for which version what is the latest version before the junk filter was added? Sorry didn't have my pm turned on will send you a pm now. Thanks.

Turned on my pm in my profile but it still says I can't see pm's. Not sure what to do about that.

I thought it was 4.9.37 but apparently I'm wrong. http://www.limewire.com/english/cont..._history.shtml

Press the FAQ button above. Oh ... prolly I can fix it. But if you desire a personal solution to anything, you need to pm me not vice versa.

Relative newcomer to using the forum...but
I'm experiencing the same problems as deano777 in regards
to LW 4.10.5 and the slow speed and would like to
go back to an earlier version (like 4.8.1). Can anyone
help me out?

Default Don't use the Aqua Skin.

Hi all

Had the same problem when I downloaded 4.10 . Seemed really slow and the seemed not to display properly !!
Nightmare!! I wanted to go back to my old Limewire but couldn't.. Help

Anyway I deleted everything I could find with 'Lime ' in the title, in desperation, trashed the lot. Re-downloaded and installed direct through Safari as I have had problems with downloads not coming through Safari. Reinstalled and still the same display problems and slow !!

So I tried a different skin and all worked fine !!

Seems like all the other skins available are fine except the Aqua OSX, the one you would use and I think is the default.

Don't use the Aqua Skin.
I do like the Black Skin it's cool...
Try it !!

Would like your feedback
Good Luck
MGarvey

After all that it's the skin! Well done MGarvey. I thought I'd tried everything but never imagined it could be the skin. I'm wondering if it's because the default skin uses the system menu bar and the others have their own embedded menu bar. It should be fairly easy to track down so perhaps we can hope for a fix soon or at least a mention in faqs.

Default Possible solution to slowdown

I'm aware that another poster was placing a similar message to mine (found here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...aluminium+skin) on several threads and it got to the point where admin got a bit fed up with finding the same message all over the place. I don't want to fall into the same trap, but the suggestion worked well for me in terms of solving the general system slow down which happens when OsX 10.3.9 users install LW 4.10. Perhaps it warrants a sticky as this theme seems to come up all the time.
Upshot: OsX 10.3.9 users should consider a different skin to the Brushed Aluminium one. See if your system doesn't recover once you change the skin.
It's a painful sacrifice in terms of aesthetics, but a worthwhile one in my humble experience.

Sorry - hadn't seen deano777 and mgarvey's posts. Obviously I'm not the only one it worked for
