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.

The incomplete icon showing may be a bug, we'll check that out. The sizes not matching up was probably just a repainting issue, in that the size column didn't fully repaint.

re icon paintings, if a file is downloaded from a browsed host, discovered through a "What's New" search, the file icon may not update in both seach tabs. This seems to happen when the search result panel was scrolled past the download entry.

Also, scrolling through long lists of a browsed host's files and randomly selecting one or two files from each screenful also seems to be a problem for keeping the icons updated.

speaking of long lists of browsed hosts--they don't seem to be causing the gui locks I saw before. Coincidence? or was that problem fixed too?

for the record, Apple's java in 10.3.9 still runs up the VMem. If I make sure there are no downloads or incomplete files, I can usually flatten the rise and let LW run all night without risking major problems in the morning. (graphs available). I've seen almost no discussion of it on the Apple java dev lists, but I'm losing confidence it is even on their radar any more. I'm beginning to think it's just my set-up.

On the bright side, running as an UP with no downloads keep the thread count at about 30, and the G3 CPU at 20%. So the optimizations have really opened the door for much greater longer uptimes here--thanks.

The bad side is that the downloads are getting easier and quicker, so I'm checking out larger files than before. This means I'll have to get a larger laptop to share the goodies.

Default bug report bug?

Is there a 3 bug limit on sending or triggering the bug reports? The console shows 4 of the "java.lang.Error: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer" entries, but only the first three popped up the Review dialog this session (options set to always review).

Yesterday's session was set to "always send", but only three with my client id showed in the bugreports page when I checked today. Console, however, logged over 40 of them.

Default GNUC results

Sheesh. It's been many months since I've seen those lousy results sent by "GNUC," but now they're baaack. I kicked the one GNUC from connections, but that didn't help

Has something changed to allow those results in again, or was it just my luck to link to some bad vendors?

I've had lousy luck searching for rarer content these past weeks, so I'm beginning to wonder if the code changed to prefer more popular content. (Hope it's not the network getting flooded with spam searches). For now I'll be optimistic that it's the almost two million users that's increased the horizon beyond my reach.

btw--I'm not interested in boxing. cf http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...470#post141470

Rare content is of course a problem on gnutella. Try disabling ultapeer mode. Leaves have by far the larger search horizon.

As for the GNUC client, I see those every now and then but not consistently.

Yup, there's a three bug limit in a few places. There's a limit for showing the review dialogs (so they don't keep stacking up forever), and there's a limit on the server side. Once it sees three of any given bug, it tells people to stop sending that particular bug again for quite a while. This prevents occasional situations on one computer from causing huge spikes in reported bugs. So long as the problem is widespread, we'll see lots of reports from different computers.

How are the bugs sent exactly, is it like a magnet link or something. Not that it's important to know just curious.

By clicking 'send' when an Internal Error pops up in the client.
