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 Trouble trying to remove trash songs from shared folder in the library

Limewire's been working pretty good for me, BUT somehow I have two songs that are stuck in my shared folder and refuse to be deleted. The two songs that are stuck are trash, the computer keeps saying that the two files are being used elsewhere-- I don't what other program could be using them. Anybody know how I can get rid of the trash--speak laymen terms, I don't know how to use my computer very well. Thanks for any help

Default Try this

Hi

I always delete or change files on my Hard Drive 'C:' when LimeWire isn't running. I find this the most effective way.

The files you are sharing are stored by default in:-

C:\Program Files\LimeWire\Shared

This is where all your files are downloaded to. The library is just a reflection of what is in 'Shared'. They are not on LimeWire!

So don't delete any songs from your 'Library' that you just want out of there, because you will delete them completely off your system.

Does that make sense

Good Luck

KathW- you are my new computer limewire guru! Thanks for the help, it worked. I've got one more if you can help was again. This is just more of a question-- I have a song that is in the Shared Folder and I can't click and drag the song to one of the other folders I created--Is it that once I launch a song from the shared folder it is stuck in the folder for good? Thanks for the input.

Default No guru

Hey - I'm no guru as you will see from this answer.

I'm thinking that you are using a new version 1.8 or 1.9 and I use 1.7. So I don't know what changes there have been if any, to cause this.

I'm not one for lots of sub-folders, I tend to use playlists and keep all my songs in one folder, so I don't move them around.

But I can't see why you can't move things around as you want.

Maybe try - On hard drive - -- copy / paste into new folder then delete from old folder - try that.

I seem to remember having some trouble with a file once that wouldn't delete or 'something' and I had remove it from my player to do it. But I have a separate player and it's easy to do that in mine.

------
I've just been away to check out my player MusicMatch and what happens when you move things to new folders.

As I thought - when you move files to another location - then go and try to play it in your player - it can't find it 'cos you moved it. The path to that song has changed.

I think maybe there is some kind of safety feature and because the song is in your player, it won't move it because the path will change and then it won't play. You will have to delete it out of your player I think, before you can move it. *Not delete from library*

That's the best I can guess without knowing how it actually works.


Good Luck

Default I forgot

If you Register, it's much easier to use the forum and we can identify when people are on the board. Plus you can send people Private Messages and ask questions directly of any other person who is Registered.

Like now - I would like to know if you are still on the board - but I can't tell 'cos your not Registered!! I don't know whether to hang around to see if you managed to sort the problem, or go offline now 'cos you ain't gonna answer yet.

God, I'm talking a lot of tosh tonight
