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.

re a cleaner GUI, I think I'll miss the lime, but not much. The search progress tabs make it redundant anyway.

I wondered if maybe the lime was removed to cut down on memory use

Well, at least we know it's not the cause of the VM problem

re the VM situation--I give up. For less than 1 GB of bandwidth, the VM rose to >1.5 GB before my G3 became pretty much unusable (took ~20 minutes of thrashing before I could quit this morning--and I still lost the BigTop graph). Would have been nice to track it down before Apple updates Java.

Hmm don't know if this is normal since I'm a really new user of LimeWire, but I just came to check the machine and when I was watching the connections screen It dumped about 20 peers and all of the leafs. The window flickered 3 0r 4 times and then it stabilized. I checked the Upload screen and all the speeds went way down (30 kb/s to 2kb/s). I wasn't downloading just sharing. No other programs running except Norton Internet Security. Now everything is back to normal. I've been connected for appx. 7 hours and 38 minutes

Default LimeWire 4.3.3 beta freezes

Ugh! I am still having a problem in LimeWire 4.3.3 beta (that also occurs in LimeWire 4.2.6) where LimeWire continues to download/upload but the actual window fails to redraw or respond to any keys or mouse clicks. To continue doing anything in LimeWire, I basically have to kill it and reload it. When reloaded, it runs for a little while (half an hour to 45 minutes) then the interface stops redrawing yet again. It seems to occur most often when "Advanced Statistics" is enabled, although it has happened a few times even with that turned off. This is on a machine with SuSE 9.0 Professional using Java 1.4.2_06. I've also tried java version 1.5.0_01 and it happens with that java version also. It occurs even with no downloads active.

Since you're running on SuSe, I take it you're running LimeWire from a console. If you could do a 'ps -aux' and locate the PID of the LimeWire process, then do a kill -QUIT on that process, LimeWire will spit out a stack trace on the console it was started on. The strack trace will show what is locked and preventing the GUI from refreshing.

Ok. I did a kill -SIGQUIT on LimeWire 4.3.3 beta running in java 1.4.2_06 during a recent GUI freeze and attached the full output of that stack trace.

Whelp, looks like it's the clipboard listening on Unixes that is freezing up the GUI -- it's waiting for the system to give it the available transfer types. Thanks for that clip, limenut.

No problem! Since you said it was clipboard related, it looks like I found reproducible way to trigger this bug.

1. Open LimeWire and don't minimize it.

2. Open Firefox in Linux.

3. Highlight some text on a web page then press CTRL C.

4. Exit Firefox.

The GUI in LimeWire would immediately fail to redraw after this.

With 1.5.0_01, it freezes, but only for half a minute, then the GUI unfreezes afterwards when repeating the same steps that freezes the GUI permanently with java 1.4.2_06.

sberlin,
Yes, it happens on all tabs.
I was running 4.3.2 on JRE 1.5.0 (not "Update 1") so it's possible the problem is with Java.
The GUI corruption doesn't start right away. I think it only happens after the screensaver has run.

Since the change-log for 4.3.3 mentions "fix for GUI" I assume that something related was broken.
____________

As for the labels used in Connections, I think it would make more sense to refer to what kind of servent you're talking to, rather than to what kind of connection you have. I mean, if you're in Leaf mode and you upgrade to a UP, what are you going to learn from your former leaf-UP connections being re-labeled "peer" connections? OTOH, if you're in UP mode and you're talking to older non-UP clients, the current labels make it impossible to know.
