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 it takes a while

The Java installer should work if you give it a few minutes. (It may take close to 3 minutes.)

As for new.net...did you try the work-arounds mentioned on the forums here? (Add/remove programs, running Ad-aware, or deleting the dll?)

Unhappy doesn't work

It doesn't work for me.

It comes up with a tiny window with 'Welcome!' inside it and stays that way forever.

I can duplicate this program myself. :-)

I also get the tiny window upon startup that just says welcome. When I installed it on my first computer I played around with it for a few minutes clicking double clicking etc etc and finally just out of the blue the window resized to its proper size and I was able to proceed with the install. God only know what I did in order to get it to resize...

LimeWire: Why the **** dont you just make the initial screen resizeable so we dont have to put up with this. Im trying to install limewire on my second computer and it cant get past the first install screen because the window is not big enough for me to press the "next" button and i cannot resize the window!

Question Version 1.6

Apparently 1.6 doesn't download for me. I uninstalled version 1.4 and went to the main page, clicked on the download 1.6 icon. It installed ok but when I checked it it was still version 1.4b.

What's wrong? Anybody got a clue?

It sounds like you ran the 1.4 installer instead of the 1.6 one.

Default LimeWire1.6 trying to install

I went through the same problem with the tiny window that says Welcome and I cannot resize it. It just sits there. Has anyone found a solution to this yet? I have the Linux version. Thanks for your help.

Default Anyone have a copy of 1.4

I upgraded to 1.6 but I would rather use 1.4. I like to be able to have
concurrent downloads of a file then choose which one is best. Looks
like version 1.6 did away with that. Could you please direct me to where
I could get a copy of 1.4?


Thanks

LimeWire 1.6b addresses many of the issues posted about on this thread. The problem with the initialization window not resizing on some Linux systems has been addressed -- it is simply resizable now.

We have also fixed a significant bug on the Mac that caused LimeWire to crash depending on what settings you selected on install.

Please post to this forum if the new beta version continues to give you any problems.
