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.

Unhappy Loading HTML Engine Crash

I am running Mac OS X 10.4.9 and recently applied the latest security update and subsequently applied version 1.1 of the same security update when Apple released it, which patched the QuickTime Java security hole. I had also toyed with an interface theme change, which I have since removed as well as removing Application Enhancer 2.0.2.

My Limewire application will not load, the icon bounces in the Dock, the splash screen will appear and the application will begin to load, however, once the launch process gets to the "Loading HTML Engine" stage, the splash screen will disappear and so will the application's icon in the Dock. Limewire then doesn't launch.

Despite numerous reinstalls, deleting preferences, cache files, etc. Creating a new user with fresh preferences and attemptin a launch from that user's account, Limewire will just not launch. It crashes when it attempts to load the HTML engine.

Can someone please help?

Others with Intel Macs had this problem, and I couldn't help them. However, there is a new beta released, and you could also try Jum's alternate LimeWire that uses a different instal method LimeWire cvs builds (4.13.3jum487) Perhaps either of those will install and run.

Sounds like you have tried the usual suggestions, except the Safe Boot (restarting and holding down the shift key right after the startup tone).

The other way to get more detailed info on the problem is to turn on Console (in the Applications/Utilites folder).

Unhappy No avail

Tried the alternate beta but that did not work!! I thought about Safe Boot but I figured that Java is part of the OS and a Safe Boot might not change anything. Apart from that, Safe Book disables my airport card and I need that to connect to the internet. Considering I'm not the only one with a problem, it sounds like there is a strong case to move Limewire off Java and onto a more stable programming language. Thanks.

Since neither the beta nor the jum version made any difference, I'd figure the problem is with the java. However, Phex, also a java app, worked for someone else, if I recall correctly

Anything useful with the Console output?

re Safe Boot, it completes once you get to the login. So, just restart normally instead of logging in. Safe Boot runs a file system check and repair (fsck), especially on the OS stuff.

here's the Phex link the new forum doesn't like it for some reason. Phex - Home

Safe boot did not help, still crashing. See attachments. Thanks for your help so far. If there's anyone else out there who might have a clue, you're welcome to help, pls.

Thanks. I'll see if I can get one of the devs to take a look.

Just out of curiousity, does Phex do the same?

Yes, I tried Phex and it loaded with the Splash screen, then crashed. There is no "Application unexpectedly quit message", the icon will bounce in the Dock and then a few seconds later, it will disappear and the application does not load. Phex crashed during a normal boot, however, I suspect the same will happen in Safe Boot, as was the case with Limewire.

OK--that confirms a broken java install. Sure would be good to know how that happened.

Anyway, got word that your Java is missing a key file. To reinstall java, download from here

Apple - Support - Downloads - Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 5

You probably have to first delete the "receipt" that tells OSX your java is up to date first. The receipt is in the main Library (double-click the hard-drive to get at it) at /Library/Receipts/JavaForMacOSX10.4Release5.pkg

Hope that does the trick, because otherwise the only other step is the drastic reinstalling and updating of the system. Ugg.

Wink All good!

Well, you were right, I deleted the package receipt and reinstalled Java and Limewire is working as normal again. I would like to know how Java was broken as well...

I would not have had any sign of this, as my web browsers (Safari & Firefox) displayed no signs of any Java error, nor was anything reported, and websites seemed to be functioning as normal.

Like I said, the last thing I remember doing before Firefox broke was installing the Quicktime security update. I doubt that would have broken Java but it was an HTML Java fix (hence HTML engine failure).

Actually, I did have a user account error not too long before, however, that revolved around some 'broken' files which were promptly repaired by the OS (although waiting for login to happen was a pain).

Anyway, thanks for your help. Limewire's working for me again. Really appreciate it!
