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 ....... 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
LimeWire and FrostWire users 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.

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 LimeWire theme problems

I've never noticed this problem before, and a quick search didn't turn up any relevant threads from before.

If I use a 3rd party msstyles theme, and then tell Limewire to emulate the Windows look, Limewire becomes very slow and sluggish. Covering up any part of the Limewire window and then moving the covering window away results in blank areas that do not get redrawn for 10-15 seconds. I'm not sure if this is the case with all themes (I'm guessing the default WinXP luna theme has no problems), but it would be nice if this issue could be looked at. I've been using the Classic theme for now until this issue is resolved. Does anyone else have any experience with this? (other than change your theme)

Seeing how this is in the Windows section, I would tend to think it's implied that I'm running Windows (and especially since I mention msstyles and Luna, which are more or less specific to XP...)

LimeWire Version - 4.8.1
Java Version - 1.5
Display adapter - ATI 7500 mobility

I don't really see how any of the other things you ask for could be relevant. It is a display issue, not a problem with my network or RAM. All the themes work fine, except for the one that attempts to emulate the current Windows theme.

Sorry for the double post, but here's an example of a theme that will bring Limewire to a crawl if I use the Windows theme:

Hmmmm debating if I should answer this or not even though I know a temporary fix for your problem now.

You do have to have to remember this is a forum, and not a tech support site. We are volunteers that try and help the best we can.

Try changing your ATI display adapter control panel/catalyst to the default 3D setting.

OS: Win XP SP2 clean install
Limewire: 4.8.1
Internet connection: DSL

That's what the post Lord of the Rings linked to asks for. Other relevant information? As I've already previously posted, I feel it's an issue with the way the Limewire Windows theme works. However, since some of you feel otherwise:
RAM: 512MB PC2100 DDR
HDD: Toshiba 30GB 4200RPM
Display adapter: ATI Mobility 7500 32MB
Firewalls: XP SP2 firewall
Routers: Netgear MR314
JRE: 1.5.0 update 2

If you can tell me how that is relevant to my problem, I'd appreciate it. I'm not new to tech support (either side), and if you work with software enough, you learn enough to get a pretty good feel for what part of a program is causing problems. I don't mean this as an insult on any of your abilities; I *was* trying to help you out by narrowing down the list of possible things to look at---while it's certainly possible I could have prematurely eliminated a possible root of the problem, I was pretty careful.

Fabion: doesn't work. Besides, it was already at the default settings.

What would be nice is if someone else could please check out the theme I linked to. Apply it as your Windows XP theme and see if it causes Limewire to lag when you tell Limewire to emulate the Windows theme.
