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.

Default Vanishes on XP

Great piece of software needs to be more win32 oriented it just vanishes of XP when it feels like it usually straight after it connects it sits for a minute then it dissapears yet when its in the taskbar minimised it tends to behave a little more but uverall its unstable as hell on XP gets the speed wobbles up and stacks.

In other words the java gui doesn't lock in and stay on screen just decides to shutdown and vanish for no reason best you fix this hopefully the full version dont have this problem cos if it did there'd be a lot of ****ed of paid custmoers FIXIT pronto

Default Windows XP Problem

This has just started to happen with me using XP Pro. Have been using LimeWire Pro for some time now and it's just started to shut down with no warning. I agree that paid users should be getting higher priority and this problem should be receiving attention.

LimeWire is independent of operating system. It relies solely on the Java Virtual Machine.

If you haven't already done so - you could/should download the latest Java VM (Java Runtime Environment - JRE) from the following link:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html

After installing the latest version of Java you may need to re-install LimeWire (I'm not sure if it will pick up the latest java without a re-install). Since you are having problems, a re-install of LimeWire is a good idea anyway.

There are plenty of people using LimeWire under XP without a problem - so you need to look closely at your system to find what is wrong with your system.

Read the forums and see if any of the problems described match what you are seeing - the solutions given there may well help you. There are other XP users who have had problems - so you should find something that relates to you without much too much effort.

For those with Java errors - what is the error?

Is everybody connected to the internet *before* they try to start LimeWire?

Are you installing to the default location?

If so - have you looked in Program Files\LimeWire\"version number"? Do you have an incomplete and a shared folder there?

What internet connection do you have?
Do you have a firewall or router?
Any other software running?
Have you tried the gnutella OK test?

Registered users have a direct email address they can use for support - there is no official LimeWire presence in here.

Mark

Gnutella Test:
In WindowsXP: Go to the start menu and select run (or hold down the window key (usually between Ctrl and ALT on the left of the keyboard) and press R

type in "CMD" without the quotes in the box. Press return. You should have a DOS box (well... something that looks like a DOS box anyway).

type in:
telnet router4.limewire.com 6346

and press return.

After a moment or two you should see the message "Gnutella OK".

If you don't see this message you have a problem with your connection to the gnutella network - LimeWire won't work.

Angry Vanishes on WP for me too

I've got the same / similar problem. For me I can't get Limewire ver. 2.4.4 even started. A Limewire window pops up with the Limewire logo & messages at the bottom that say it's loading options & such, then get a bigger window that says "Running the Gnutella Network" at the top pops up for a few seconds then it disappears.

I've done the "Gnutella OK" test - no problem. I've got a cable modem connection to the internet so I'm always connected. I've loaded the latest JAVA Runtime environment 1.4.0 then installed Limewire. Every combination of uninstalling & reinstalling Limewire & the Java Runtime environment, but it's always the same result.

Sure hope someone comes up with a fix to this soon!!!

Danny

Thumbs up A Fix - For Me Anyway

After my last post I tried something else that worked for me. Hopefully it will for you too.

After I installed Limewire I uninstalled all Java Runtime Environments(JREs) - then reinstalled the JRE ver 1.4.0 - then started Limewire - you should get a message that it can't find the javaw.exe file - click browse - go to the windows/system32 folder & click on the javaw.exe file.

That's it! It worked for me. Hopefully it will for some of you.

Danny
