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.

I don't know which platform you're using but in OSX that's not abnormal. I suspect it's something to do with Java. It's particularly noticeable it you leave your cursor over mp3's & the id info displays. Try not to leave your cursor sitting over the names of files, be it in the search results or the Library window lists of files.

What I was saying is this is an issue with macosx but might also be an issue with some Windows users. To check to see if you have the most recent of Java (click on link) for your OS version. Updating your Java version might not fix this issue. Certainly for mac it's rather endemic of LW for osx & the general instability of Java itself.

Updating DirectX drivers or your video driver may help: Java graphics display (in AWT and Swing) is now based on Java2D, which since Java 1.4 makes a lot of use of DirectX on windows (more exactly: DirectDraw, and offscreen 2D buffers); in Java 1.3, most displays were performed through the (slower) GDI interface.

If your display driver does not support blitter operations for offscreen operations, and does not support vertical synchronization (VSync), you may have similar blinking problems in lots of Windows applications that are based on DirectX, notably in games, or simply in Windows Media player or Real Player or WinAmp (if you enable their grahics vizualizations when playing music), or in your DVD player (when playing movies).

Note that the earliest versions of Java 1.4 had some problems when recognizing some DirectX drivers capabilities. Most of these hardware capabilities are now more accurately detected in Java 1.4.2 and supported by fallback software emulation.

So my final suggestions are, in that order:
- update your display driver
- update DirectX from Windows update
- update to latest Java release (or to the current beta2 of Java 1.5)

Blinking problems may still happen with some old display boards, that are no longer supported by their manufacturer:

Notably those with S3 display hardware, such as the Voodoo series (with its specific gateway to its VRAM, despite of its excellent processor; elder S3 boards are not affected by this problem): finding a working driver for Windows XP will be difficult (because of the various issues caused by the new design of Direct X 8), as the only working drivers are made by third parties, and not supported by Microsoft; on Windows XP, without these drivers, Microsoft only supports the basic VGA resolution in 256 colors, and no hardware acceleration at all; but with the latest drivers made initially by S3 for Windows 2000, you may get problems on XP as they were not tested on Direct X 8 or above. If you have a S3 Voodoo-based video, some problems may find their solution only if you change it for another model (Radeon 9000-series boards seem a good replacement choice today, at a lower price than G-Force boards).

Some blinking issues may also occur on some 3-to-5 years old HP notebooks, also because of the on-board display driver. There's nothing you can do to solve the problem completely, except upgrading to the latest version of Java to better detect the effective limited hardware capabilities reported by its driver.

Hope this helps.
