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. |

 LimeWire Pro Doesn't Recognize Itself okay. so, i'm using mac osx 10.4 - tiger, and i already have the most recent version of limewire downloaded. i buy lw pro, download the file from the link and run the program, do the install, but there's no change in my lw. it's just the same old program. have i neglected to do some sort of update? do i need to uninstall and reinstall? someone please help me. also, i did download it from the official lw site, so it wasn't a scam. i got the confirming email and i can access the download page.  |

| (1) Go to connections window, how many connections does it show? For Pro it should be 5 unless running in UP mode. (2) How many connection bars do you see on front window bottom left ... should be 5 light blue connection bars. (3) Go to menu bar, click the LimeWire name next to Apple icon at far left, choose About LW & see if it says pro. If yes then you're in luck. The actual program looks identical. The improvements are connecting to more ultrapeers which helps with searching for rarer files. Also you are able to download from up to 10 hosts per file compared to Basic's 8 hosts, which will arguably mean faster downloads if you connect to decent hosts.  samnbrone this topic has nothing whatsoever to do with burning CD's. Have a look in this section & this sticky: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/tips-t...ps-tricks.html. (my guess is you don't even use a mac computer.)  |

| View menu -> Show/Hide .. choose Connections will bring up the connections window. 'If' you bought LW pro .. then they'd have sent you an email with a link to your personal download page which you should bookmark. If no such email, then I doubt you bought LW from the 'Official' site; Known Scam Sites (click on link). Limewire.org do NOT advertise so if you clicked a link in a google or other search engine link then chances are you ended up at a scam site. |

| ah, see, there's the rub. i read your other post about scam sites and i can assure you, lord of rings, that i did get a confirmation email and that i did buy it from limewire llc. i'm sure i'm just doing something stupid. do i need a more recent java version? do i need to uninstall/reinstall? i'm completely bewildered and i think you can see why. |

| Check these two links & compare with yours: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...tml#post320755. Do you have the same Pro personal download page? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...tml#post324548 which shows the Pro installer, and the pro word when LW is starting up. And also shows the about LW. One piece of advice about upgrading to Pro ... it's best to delete the LW preferences whilst LW is CLOSED, so then Pro will not be using the older Basic's preferences settings. Deleting LW Preferences folder in OSX |

| Oh .. one thought that's crossed my mind is .. you still have LW Basic on your computer. And the alias (shortcut) or LW in Dock is actually the Basic version & not Pro. Search your computer to see how many versions of LW you have on your system. Select applications at search type. (Command F ie: ⌘ F ) If Basic is still on the system, then drag & drop it to the trash. |
