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 LimeWire 3.9.6 Beta

The LimeWire 3.9.6 beta is released, with the pro version available from a link on your Pro download page, and the free version available (with NO BUNDLED SOFTWARE) from the LimeWire download page.

Changes in 3.9.6 include:
- Search result status icons (saved, incomplete, downloading, etc...) now update to reflect the file's ongoing status. The 'saved' icon will also be shown if the file is found in the Saved folder even if the Saved folder isn't shared.
- Magnet details (from the library right-click menu) should now work under Linux with Firefox.
- ID3v2 parsing now works with non-English character sets, submitted by Roger Kapsi.
- Various focus management fixes, to put the focus in the search text boxes (or the What's New button) at appropriate times (such as when LimeWire starts).
- Fixed column size flickering.
- New default column sizes, better fitted for a brand new installation.
- Fixed search results to maintain the selection when new results come in and a filter was selected, and also when a new filter is chosen.
- Changed filters to not automatically select the result that matches a media-type search, but instead make it bold and keep it visible to inform the user a match is available.
- Reduced font size on statistics.
- Changed method for column resizing -- instead of resizing all subsequent columns when one changes, only the next column is resized. This should make it much easier to set the columns to your preferred size.
- Raised number of wanted results when LimeWire is acting as an Ultrapeer to make them behave as well as leaves.
- Fixed search progress bars & clearing filters on repeat searches.
- Randomized What's New queries a little more.
- Fixed to ignore some invalid ID3v2 headers.

This is mostly likely going to be the last beta, unless any showstopping bugs appear.

LimeWire 4.0 is going to be a fantastic release, thanks in large part to the comments on these forums and the contributions submitted to limewire.org. LimeWire is one of the few open-source programs that competes (and wins!) in the consumer market, and we're confident that the 4.0 release is going to be a rock-solid version. We've come a long way since the 3.x series, adding the revolutionary "What's New" search, an almost guarantee that every delivered result will connect and download, customizable filters for search results, ID3v2 parsing, complete international support, and many more behind-the-scenes firsts for a p2p program.

Thanks,
- The LimeWire Team

Wow! I can't belive you managed to get all those changes included! Congrats to you and the team. Will you be celebrating so hard that we should save further comments till next fall?

Seriously, much appreciation from here. From opensourcer to intern to this . . . you've had a very productive year.

Cheers

It's definitely not just me... I just happen to enjoy reading/writing on the forums and working on GUI things, so I have a more public face.

The 'team' does indeed deserve the credit, and any team is made up of individual contributions. However . . . you've also taken an unfair share of the heat when times were rough.

So, a quick check confirmed that all the fixes (yay! readable stats!) are working here as far as I can tell.
some minor points (feels cheap to be even mentioning them, considering all the fixes and improvements)

--if it's an easy fix--why not also reduce the size of the control-click contextual menu font and keep the look consistent?

--the CNet "Review LimeWire" link in the help menu returns <We can't seem to find the page you're requesting. If you know the name of the product you're looking for, please search for it here:> Might be nice to fix that for 4.0

--I see the arrows that show a breakdown of multiple search results are gone as you warned earlier. Is there a workaround to see the IP/vendors of those sources?

--Tooltip info isn't always showing when hovering over search results. It seems I can only get audio results with tooltips.

That I like at lot, thanks


I think the "what's new" should have porn filter enabled by default, even if adults keywords is unchecked in the filter options. I think many people will be disgusted to see all the porn and the pedophilia there may be on the Gnet when they only want to look at movies and video clips. (maybe add an option in filter -keywords- to disable the porn filter in "whats new" near the adult keywords filter)

Merci à l'équipe LW!

Default Magnet URI dialog

This is a minor cosmetic bug. So it isn't a biggie.

Running LimeWire 3.9.6 beta, java 1.4.2_04, in SuSE Linux 9.0 (at 800x600). When you copy a magnet URI to the clipboard, then switch to LimeWire, LimeWire stretches the dialog box to the width of the full magnet URI. So what I see is a dialog box that is wider than my screen can fit.

One sample URI that causes this is this:
magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:GZLEHA3FR46YNHEU5AEFUTAM5HYEEE MF &dn=LimeWireLinux.bin &xs=http://<my-ip>:6346/uri-res/N2R ?urn:sha1:GZLEHA3FR46YNHEU5AEFUTAM5HYEEEMF
(intentionally broken up with spaces to prevent it from stretching the forum's width)

Default Still losing selection, *sometimes*

- Fixed search results to maintain the selection when new results come in and a filter was selected, and also when a new filter is chosen.
In LimeWire 3.9.6 beta, although it keeps the selection longer than in 3.9.5 beta, I am still having a case where it randomly loses my selection of things in the search results. I can't 100% reproduce it but when I do a search for almost anything and select the initial results that come, and then a surge of more than 100 results comes in a few seconds later, random search results I had selected before the surge of incoming results get deselected after that surge of results came in.

Magnets can contain anything and everything (and sometimes the same item several times), so there is no standard way to extract a more human-readable representation of the file contained in the magnet.

Setting a fixed maximum length may be an option but it is unlikely it will be in 4.0. Feel free to look around the code - we're open for ideas/suggestions. (com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/search/MagnetClipboardListener.java is where most of the related stuff happens)
