When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you

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.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

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.

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.

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.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. 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.

Exclamation LimeWire 4.8.1 - REQUIRED Update?

On the main Limewire.com page it says:

"Security Update!! All LimeWire users of versions prior to 4.8 MUST upgrade."

Why must users upgrade? Is there some risk to the network for not doing so? What is the specific security feature that is such a 'must' this time. Is there something in the software from 4.8 that benefits Limewire 'the company' such as stats, or control of some type? Thanks.

the only reason companies that make updates for software have a reason, the reason are verious and broad but all have the same ending: A better built version then last. If you opt for an older version there are verious ricks around & after a sertain point support is dropped for that version. Therefore its always best to use a more Up-To-Dated Version

Well as you said they're for many reasons. One of them is to make more money. They have the copyright & release the advances of the technology on it bit by bit to keep people buying it & upgrading. It's called marketing.

Also I suppose you can beware of some M$ updates/upgrades: Click HERE for an example A proggie with lots of junk inside & out lol

Lightbulb LimeWire as a business

I wonder if we could run a company like LimeWire without using any money at all?

Sure, they would say they need to eat and stuff, but what if there really was a way to do it?

I say yes, anything is possible. As a matter of fact this is the exact problem I have been working on for some time.

It seems like a company bent on Free Information Sharing will eventually have to figure out a different way than restricting access to a PRO version.

PEACE :-) N888

I updated but it took me a good 5 or 6 attempts to do so.

I have been using Limewire for a couple of years now and this is the first time I have been able to access these forums or any of the features in Limewire.

I guess not being at all teckie really don't help.

This new upgrade was better than the last one as the edit feature of the song details has been reinstated.

Hope to learn more about using it more fully than I have been for the past couple of years.

Exclamation

The notice on the LimeWire web page is insufficient... who ever looks there???

There should be an email sent out to all PRO customers... in batches of a few hundred at a time so everybody does not react simultaneously...

I just happened to update to 4.8.1 (I try to update LW PRO every few months in general.)

I never saw the notice till now!
