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.

Do you already have Limewire installed? Did you let it scan your hard drive for the files you wish to share? If already on your drive you should already be set to share them. in Limewire options, go to settings and select the folder you wish to share. Your download files will be stored in the Limewire shared folder if in windows its located under the Documents & Settings folder on your c drive if in XP. Hope this helps? If not, please provide a bit more detail about your system setup.

sorry, i've got lw pro and run windows xp.
i followed your instructions and all i could find were files di had already down loaded from lw.
i've added some pictures no problem but when i tried to share my music folder i ran into problems.
can i share all music (which is seperated off into sub folders for each artist) or do i have to share each song individually.
i had a minor freakout about people getting personal stuff from my pc and removed some shared folders and i think i've screwed it up.
by the way thanx so much for your help.

sorry i forgot to say, the reason i don't think the music went on is; when i went into the shared files all the music was listed but had 0 next to it in the size column.

How many folders are you trying to share? Try to limit your shared files and not go over a certain amount because the RIAA likes to grab users that are sharing over a thousand files. Did you go to your LW settings to check your shared folders? You dont need to share all your folders or files, go to settings as LW uses the default limewire 'shared' folder.

don't you sleep??
only joking thanx for the help.
i'll bear the advise in mind if i ever get them on, i think there is over 1000 so i wont put them all on.
yes i looked in the shared music file and they were listed but like i said they didn't show and content (0 kb size).
do you think i should just share a few songs at a time and save each song individually.
could you check my files and see if they are there?
thanx.

share the root folders/directories of all your music directories (DONT share your entire C: drive!). limewire will recursively share any subdirectories that you wish to share. if there are any files that you wish to not share and are being shared, you can unshare them by finding them in the library and right-clicking the file, then press stop sharing. you can also unshare any folders/directories you wish.

just take some time to learn your own system. make sure you have basic computing knowledge before using the internet, then learn the basic knowledge that it requires!!
