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.

Default Problem accessing PRO download.

History:

Decided to upgrade to Limewire Pro for OS X. I received word that my CC transaction was accepted (secure form). The page then asked me to click on a link to finish the transaction, and not to click more than once or I would be charged. This was 9 hours ago.

The page took 'forever' and finally I was notified (after a night's rest) that the sales.limewire.com server encountered an internal error (500) and couldn't deal with it. I checked my email to see if a link for the download was there.

It was, so I opened it up. Tried Safari (1.2.4) and Camino (0.8.2) to access the page. Entering my registered email address (I have only one) produces a "no matching records found." I tried to click on the Javascript form on the page, but it would not open up on either browser. Javascript is enabled. Pop-up blocking is off. I'm using OS 10.3.7.

Problem:

I can't access the full version download. Nor can I access the Javascript form to try to search for my email. I don't know if Limewire has my email address, even though my CC has been charged (according to the secure form I used).

Have Also Tried:

Clearing cache of both browsers. Restarting browsers and pasting Web address for access.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It can take up to 24 hours or so for their systems to update themselves & before you receive a link to your personal downld page. But it you've already received it, there may be a problem at their end.

Do you only have 2 browsers? I think you may find Explorer was also installed on your system with OSX unless you chose not to. You could try Explorer.

I'll see if I can get the attention of support to see your problem.

Default Still not working

Thanks for the suggestions. And thanks for referring to the LW support staff.

Tried Explorer (5.2.3) and Firefox (1.0) Same exact behavior. Very puzzling.

I will reboot and recheck all browsers, just in case there is some problem on my end with Javascript.

Will post again if there is any change. I think it is unlikely, but possible.

No, I haven't been able to access PRO. Several days ago I submitted the problem to LW PRO tech support via the regular Installation support form at their website, providing my email address and purchase order number, along with a detailed description. I haven't heard back yet.

And I'm still not able to access the form on the email input page. I've tried all three of my home Mac's now. So I'll try via a PC at work, and see if I can get something done that way.

This whole experience is getting to be a drag, and I'm thinking about trying to get my money back. I'll keep trying though until the end of the week.

Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You did buy LW Pro here didn't you?: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml
& not via some other site?

In the meantime you can try using the Jum build (choose the http link) which is the equivalent but a beta of the pro. It is easy to install; just drag & drop the app to where you want it.

Yes, I bought PRO through this form: http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...ms/buypro.html

I chose to submit a 'secure form,' as per the option to do so at the bottom. Going to that form leads to the following page:

https://payflowlink.verisign.com/payflowlink.cfm

Since this is given as an purchase option from the LW site, I did not see this as a concern.

Does this raise any special issues?

That is the correct page. I did send a message to LW support (when I 1st posted in this thread) & got a response back that they were having temp problems with the pay service. This happened to someone else also. But I thought they'd have fixed it by now.

So you can't access your personal dwnld page from here?: http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...pro_lookup.jsp
