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.

Default Purchased @ LW 12/28/08 1:25pm

Confirmation #B84CC000C8BB $34.95 expires 12/29/09.

Currently using Windows Vista if that matters.

Tried to log in to download PRO to a new computer and it doesn't recognize the email (I think) I used. The old computer crashed and I don't have any previous files.

With the above details, is there SOME WAY to advise me what email addy was used or how to download a program I should still be entitled to until December?

Thanks so much.

I've met a few people who have had problems with the installation of PRO. I am not a PRO user, so i do not know the experience of buying it and going through the process.
If you gave them the wrong email then i have no choice buit to tell you the only thing to do is to contact LimeWire.

Default Thanks, but

as far as I can tell... there is no way to contact Limewire directly. All contact requests direct you here to the forum.

Hmm...in that case, the only thing to do is to search the site for the same problem. Because someone HAS HAD the same problem as you before.
Try looking at this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...l-address.html

I dont suppose THAT'S what you want to hear eh...

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...l-address.html

Try that.

Neither apply. The first didn't purchase LW from LW. The second discusses email entered incorrectly. When I originally purchased LW on the previous computer, it did load and worked. That computer crashed, so I have no previous links or URL's to revisit. When I attempt to download LW to my current computer, I enter the only email address I remember having, and it's not recognized. I very well may have originally loaded it through another email address, but I don't know what that may have been. In other words, previous computer = previous address. This computer = new address = not recognized by LW. I'm asking the moderators to see if I can be identified as authorized by using the confirmation # since I don't know what email was originally used and have no way to track it since the old computer is gone.

1: this forum has nothing official to do with LW or any other Gnutella client...

2: you say "the first didn't purchase LW from LW"....what does that mean?...if you didn't purchase from LW then you were scammed...

When I typed "the first didn't purchase LW from LW" - it was referring to the first thread suggestion Sheik made to me wherein THAT person didn't purchase LW correctly.

I did, although probably using an email address I no longer remember. The purchase I originally made was authentic and did run.

This site is the only way I've found to make contact with anyone regarding official Limewire issues. Any attempts to contact support directly from the Limewire site link to this forum. Believe me, I'd much rather send an email to a tech and get an email in response - but Limewire doesn't seem to operate that way.

Thanks! Sent email through "other billing inquiries" also.

Have a little mercy on me... Limewire isn't even for MY use. Had downloaded it on previous computer for my daughters and have spent no less than 3 days (that I'll never get back) to find someone to answer IF I'll be able to load it again. I've wasted all this time on something I may never be able to accomplish anyway. Would just hate to pay for something twice.
