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 2.8.5 Crap!

2.8.5 is a bug ridden sham!!!!!!! No connections....constant errors. I don't care if some LW guru got it to work on their machine either (so try to hold off on the always helpful "works here" posts). All I want to know is how to get the older version back???

Thanks.

so no one is allowed to say they have it working, but you can say you don't have it working? Helpful 'works here' is forbidden, but unhelpful 'doesn't work here' isn't? If you just wanted to know how to get the old version back, you could have just asked, instead of firing off some negative post. Get used to the idea that others will offset your post with a positive 'working here' so some casual reader of the forum won't get the false impression that it doesn't work for anyone.

yet other readers may care, as they make up their mind about wether or not to try it. It doesn't work for you, as you made abundantly clear while asking how to get an old version, so permit others to say that it does work. 285 works for me lol

That aside, (and I'm sorry this won't help you right now) I always keep a copy of the last version of a program I am happy with until I am sure the newest one works. Saves me from scrambling to find an outdated version when the newest is bug ridden, or does not work for me, as unfortunately is the case with you and 285.

Anyway, I leave it to someone else to let you know how to get an older version, since I don't know and don't have one (255 is the next version back I have)

Got that older version and it works great. As to why I would not want to hear that it worked for someone else; usually the post goes like this - "Works here!" Thanks, that was so helpful.

If you are going to tell me it works for you, great, help me get it working. Otherwise, I couldn't care less if it works for you!

Thanks again for the location of the older version, that was very helpful.

I can agree and disagree.

If you tell me it works for you that helps me determine if the fault lies with the program or elsewhere, perhaps with my system or a specific combination of processors, operating system, and programs. Often that has been the bit of information that kept me working until I got it fixed and/or helped me shorten the process of degugging by directing me towards the problem. I do find that information helpful.

I also hope the program works for you. Perhaps not as much as I hope it works for me but I do want it to work for you. If it only worked for me eventually I would be the only person using it.

Some of those old versions are dangerous. Use 2.7.13 if you go backwards.

Thanks

Greg,

There is no Mac version for 2.7.13 of LimeWire. When I go to the 2.7.13 folder all I see is international/ and lw.tgz. In the folder international is the PC version of LimeWire. I don't know what lw.tgz is.

The old download areas differ, don't know why.
<http://www3.limewire.com/download/2.7.13/> is not very helpful but <http://www9.limewire.com:82/download/2.7.13/> has the individual files for each OS.

Thumbs down 2.8.5 Pro problems.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with Ogman 2.8.5 is not the best release of LimeWire. I've tried a few different installations, it just didn't seem able to retrieve files or share files without loosing the connections and restarting.
So I moved back to 2.7.13 Pro. Even now with 2.7.13, I see people using 2.8.5 trying to retrieve files and it causes the connections to reset and restart.
Maybe a 2.8.5 client retrieving a file from a 2.8.5 server might work, but I was not able to test this configuration.
Let's wait for next release for a new trial...
