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.

Default Can't get Limewire to work in Vista

I got a new computer with Windows Vista installed. I was able to succesfully download Limewire Pro, but when I try to run it it messes up my internet connection. I cannot get anything to download form Limewire and when I try to open Interent explorer I can't get a an internet connection. I tired diabling my Mcafee firewall but that didn't help. I also tried changing the setting on Limewire to XP Service Pack 2 compatibility but that didn't help either. Any suggestions?

Are you using Java 1.6? You'll need to.
Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version before you install the new one.

Lots of people have had trouble with McAfee.
A lot of people have uninstalled McAfee (or parts of).

halfcent,
Is your LW not connected at all, or is it just that you're seeing the firewall icon?

Have you made sure that LW's allowed thru the Vista firewall?
Your router has a firewall...see if port forwarding helps. Here are the instructions for your router.
http://www.portforward.com/english/r...GR614index.htm

Don't forget to set up a static IP address first. Also remember that LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded thru a router must all be the same number

Let us know if that helps at all.

1. Reinstall Java. Use the JRE offline installer, remove your current version before you install the new one.
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

2. Delete LW's preferences folder. See point 3 below.
Fixes for LimeWire

3. Reinstall LW & make sure to use the offline installer (not the recommended one).

Hey everyone:

I have a new hp notebook with Vista windows. I have used limewire pro for years. No problems. Now, I can't get the brick to move for anything. Here's what I'm working with:

1. OS: Windows Vista Home Pro
2. Firewall: Windows (OFF) Zone Alarm (UNINSTALLED) NORTON's 2007 (ON)
3. RAM: 2 GIG
4. Hard Drive: 160 GIG
5. Connection Type-DSL
6. Modem: ??? Came with service/ wireless net card in notebook
7. Wireless Router: Linksys G series
7. Connecting: From Home
8. Java: ??? Not sure where to look for it.
9. ISP Provider-Fairpoint.net
10. Test Worked
11. Tried to make it share, again, not sure???
12. Limewire is installed
13. Yes I See A Brick Wall, no cannot download!! ugh!

Sorry to seem so lame, but this used to be a breeze! Also, do I have to dump Zone Alarm to get limewire to work?
