Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Based on the small amount of information you have provided you may have one of two issues.

1) If it indicates the download is complete then you should check the following - under Tools / Options/ Saving is the location to which Limewire moves files when they are completed... that is where they will be when completed.

2) The other possibility is under Tools / Options/ Downloads is the checkbox option to clear a file from the downloads display when it is complete. This check box should be checked.

Nice to see that at least one out of four here is intelligent enough to simply try to help....... Maybe the one in four is also honest enough to remember when they first started....... Couple of you really would not like some of your posts dragged up......

Thanks, bobomon, for being the smart one!

If you look under your tools tab, options, shared menu you will see the ability to specify what folder(s) you share from. The folders you specify will show up in your library.

God, I hate being reminded of my lack of abilities when I first started using this machine. I deserved it Ursula, and will take my thrashing like a man.
It's any videoes or films of the first days on a bicycle you really want to try to hide!!!

Thumbs down

They may not have been PC with their flames but I understand their frustration.

People have become very lazy and happy to depend on others for the simplest things in life. With little to no effort the original poster should have been able to figure the problem out.

OK maybe they should have left their criticism unsaid but I also think a response to the original question was equally irresponsible. The poster that spoon fed the answer has fostered anothers laziness and dependence.

It is not the flame throwing that has made message boards lose their appeal it is the ingnorance and laziness you have to wade through that has.

I am afraid that I have to agree with your main comments.
It is a 'catch-22' situation as the only way to give the help normally is to 'spoon-feed' it ..... I can very easily sympathize with the frustration felt by many after hearing the same questions which were answered in detail one post above!!!
(you ought to try it from the mods side sometime! Oi!)

What is not mentioned often enough, however, is the blind stupidity of those who are offering and further developing clients with zero or totally out of date Documentation/Manuals/FAQs......
THEY are the guilty culprits and THEY are the ones who deserve the 'ton of bricks' dropped on them. Please, no nonsense replies from anyone about how the need to write proper DOCS and FAQs would 'hinder development'.

So, everybody... try to help, try to remember when it was all gobbledy-geek to you, also.... and blast at the clients for their failure to give TRUE support with DOCS.

I have to take exception to that statement. You are making assumptions regarding the original post. That person may very well be a lazy, dependant person... on the other hand the person may have simply been new to Limewire, or new to P2p or new to computers period.... I am sure you run into such folks every day, I do. Unless you are an exception I am willing to bet that you too have asked "stupid" questions at some point... I know I have.

I agree with the frustration... but in an open forum we can make a choice to ignore more easily that we can post a flame. I choose to not be a flamer (most of the time).... I consider the forum a place to learn as well so why wouldn't a person ask their "lazy' question here...

In the end I feel the same frustrations, I just choose to deal with it in a different manner.

I have to agree... LimeWire is a case in point - I think their on-line docs are good, but inadequate and in some areas out of date.
