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.

Members 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. 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.

But I do not have my installer and there is no reason why it cannot be sent to me. I am not asking for updates or a free version just what I paid for and nothing more. I am sure there is a way to support those who already paid whether or not they re-newed for updates. As far as loosing it goes, I had it bookmarked on Firefox and for some reason all my bookmarks were wiped out, same for a computer, I do not expect it to crash and certain files or programs are not a priority to back up. If it is not a support issue than it should be forwarded to a different department which most places call as after sales service. Or at the very least include a WARNING If you loose it after 6 months Don't bother us

That's like saying "oh I purchased LW Pro 6 years ago & lost my installer. Surely I deserve to get the installer again." No go!

I can assure you software devs such as Micro$oft or Adobe, etc. would not send you another installation disk if you lost it after 12 months. It is up to you to look after what you purchased. And you "did" receive what you purchased.

If you got good speed and excess bandwidth and RAM, then you don't need Pro. Just let it go into UltraPeer mode. Then you get 32 UP connections instead of 5. It's more of a resource hog when doing that but that's just a price you have to pay.

Most of us here see buying Pro as a donation not a cost

And if it was a disk or CD I would not be asking for it would I. It is software, I downloaded. I did not have this problem with my anitvirus, I simply gave them my key number and got it back, simply because I did not get a CD from them, this is the same, I purchased software, if it was hardware I wouldn't need any help from anyone there, I would simply re install it like I did with XP because I have a CD.

If that is your only argument, than it would be best to sell a CD and then you could wash your hands of any problems if the user looses it.....And include the WARNING.

We are not LW.org, we are volunteer helpers on the Gnutella forums which caters for many gnutella programs. So "my" argument is not relevant. But somehow you missed all the points that both Sleepless & I made.

The concept is the same for most software download companies. And your example of your AV program is different because you're still registered there.

Firstly I did buy pro and I do not have it and not of my choice.
2nd if I wish to donate for another 6 months it should be my choice. Telling me to donate to get back software I bought with the understanding it was a 1 time charge is another purchase and not a donation.

Like others b4 me, I do not see why it is made so difficult to get the link for something already purchased. We are not asking for help or support, simply a link so we could start sharing with other once again.

Fine ... get LW Basic & off you go. Righto ...
All corners of discussion have been covered. So now you know. I may have a word with one of the LW people about making the notification more easily understood.

End of discussion.

but why should I get basic when I paid for Pro and why is it so difficult to give some one what they bought w/o the updtaes support and what ever was to come with it. It is not like there LW is loosing money by making and shipping CD, it is simply sending a link, which most likely automated with little or no human effort involved.

And if it was a 1 time fee I paid to purchase it, I am sure I would still be able to get back the product I purchased without having to donate again, till I was ready to do so.
