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 LimeWire.com website

For your information, without JavaScript the site doesn't seem to work at all (independent of the browser). Even with JavaScript enabled whatever national flag I click on, it always sends me to the Japanese version - not with Mozilla but my favourite browser. To my knowlegde that's one of a very few legit website where absolutely nothing works without JavaScript. Well, it's your lost sales, not mine.

We're working on revising some of the website.

Meanwhile, enable JavaScript. Having it disabled is akin to having cookies disabled and expecting things to work.

At least you wrote "cookies" instead of "flash". Yes, I for one expect being able to browse a site without cookies or JavaScript enabled. This works fine with the sites I usually visit. Just consider that even the scam sites appear more user-friendly with respect to this.

By the way, please don't try to shift the subject. I never wrote anything about cookies or having any problems with it.

I didn't change the subject. I made an analogy.

Cookies are as important as JavaScript when talking about websites.

I'm sorry that you expect to be able to use websites without basic functions of a browser. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do for that sort of expectation.

Yeah, see that's what I meant. Cookies are definitely more important (although that's another problem) than JavaScript. The point for disabling JavaScript is that it's the weakest part of all browsers and the most complex one. It's certainly not a "basic" feature. You simply cannot compare cookies and JavaScript as the latter is magnitudes more complex, powerful and dangerous. In a nutshell, one is active whereas the other is passive. People afraid of "cookies" usually don't even know what those are and the fear of them is often ill-founded. JavaScript however is quite a different beast and many experts advise you to enable it for "trusted" sites only.

If you are serious about "cross-platform", you have to expect that people use browsers other than MS IE or Mozilla which may not support JavaScript (properly).

You can't be serious about that. Do you really mean a gray site with absolutely nothing displayed is the best you can do? I guess you mean you don't care about those "few" people which I could comprehend.

Experts advise many things. Many of them are so far gone that they're useless. Disabling JavaScript falls into that category.

We develop on Windows, Linux, and OSX. Every commonly used browser on those platforms views the website just fine. Users on OS/2 also can view the website. So can people on Sun/OS, Solaris, Mac Classic, and pretty much any other platform you can think of.

A pure gray screen with nothing visible is bad, yes. However, disabling JavaScript in IE shows the website perfectly fine. It's usable & it works -- it's just a bit ugly. That's a far cry from a gray screen.

Whatever browser you're using probably is doing something wrong.

Ok, when I remove the <script></script> from the page, I get
this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>LimeWire</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#373737">
</body>
</html>

Doesn't look like my browser is doing anything wrong - to me.

Why don't you add this to the header?

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml">

Or a link to that in the body? When I do that manually, even the links for each flag are correct. Though after that the problems continue but that's simply caused by relying on location.replace().

One thing I forgot:

Unless you use a browser branch server-side, I'd be worried (once more) about MS IE. It definitely couldn't show anything but a gray page if JavaScript was really disabled. So either the browser lies or you got different HTML due to its User-Agent header.

Oh. You're talking about the very very very first page at www.limewire.com. That's ages old. The main page is http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml , which works just fine.

I'll ask about the meta tag. I suspect it was done this way to support detecting if the other side has support for international languages.
