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.

Default Installing limewire skins

I've downloaded the skin zip folders and extracted them to the limewire themes folder yet they won't show up in the list of skin choices in Limewire. Can someone help me with this please. Why wouldn't they be working??

Did you go to LW>View>Aply Skins>Refresh Skins.......??

Help with Skins

When downloading via HTTP (via your browser), right click the link and "Save As". Save the file to one of the following folders:

On Windows:
C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\.limewire\themes
On Mac Classic:
System Folder/Preferences/.limewire/themes
On Mac OSX:
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/LimeWire/Themes

You can also download the file using LimeWire. Just click on the link that says, "Download into LimeWire". You will see the downloaded skins in your Library.

If you downloaded with your browser, you must move the file to the folders listed above to use the skin.
To apply the new skin, go to LimeWire's Menu/ View/ Apply Themes.

Thumbs up Skins

HI, thanks for that. I tried the option of downloading into Limewire, but didn't think anything was happening, so I did it the other way but that didn't work. Have just been back into Lime wire and installed all my new skins and they are all working.
Thankyou!

I'm having a lot of trouble with this! Every time I try to download a skin into LW it just gives me the option of using one of my other files instead and if I try to download using my browser it comes up with an error message which consists of an ! followed by CVVWR4HONKDIOKZRKDUUNH5TOPQWN.
If I try to get into my LW themes file I get a message from Java Virtual Machine Launcher which says: Failed to load main-class manifest attribute from C:/Program Files/Limewire/Themes.jar
What on Earth does all that mean?

You could try to uninstall all Java version from your computer, reboot and then install the newest version using the JRE offline installer downloaded from here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Since you get a Java error message, it sounds like a kinda corruption of the Java installation.
Let me know whether it worked out........

Default Tada

NO!!
Ok guys You /HJave To DO This;
Honestly. Heres Proof.

Ok So what you do is..
download the winrar (right click "save target as.." ) On the web browser option.. Unpack it etc in the corect folder (Documents and settings/username/limewire./themes)
then also download the limewire one.
The reason for this is
1) the limewire download- gives you the LWPT File
2) the browser download gives you the objects FOR the theme to work.

Then simply refresh layouts and tadaaaaaa.
or clikc ok to the download form limewire so it automatically applies your theme.



thankyou would be great.

Don't the themes need a LWTP file to us the theme? I looked into the theme dictionary and all the basic themes have a LWTP file with the folders containing the images/pictures...
