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 time zone

before you tell me to do a search, I've already looked under zone in search and all I got are results about zone alarms and "time zone" gave me way too many results.

I have trouble reaching hosts because I get no search results at times. So I wonder if it had anything to do with the time zones, meaning that maybe some people are just asleep or it's in the day time during the week and people are in school and work. So I was wondering by browsing a host, is there a way to tell what time they have? So I know that if it's like 4:00 in the morning there, the reason why I can't get them is becuase they're asleep. Because sometimes when I don't get search results, I worry that it's because there's something wrong with limewire. So I don't know if there's something wrong with limewire or if it's just the time.

Also while I'm still here... is there a way to know whether people have a hard time downloading from me because I do have a wireless router and I know that acts like a firewall. I have a Dlink air utility wireless router. Anyone know about it? Not sure if that can prevent ppl from uploading from me and if that's the reason why I would get no search results sometimes. I guess not all firewalls prevent you from being uploaded but I didn't know whether on my end, it's causing a problem.

Hi Elizabeth81,
AFAIK, unless someone has their location showing below username (within the forum), there's no way to tell where they're from. Browsing a host won't tell you.

Re your uploads: Have a look at shared files in your library. In the Uploads column, the number on the left is how many times the file has been successfully uploaded. The figure on the right is how many times an upload has been attempted. If you go to tools >options >bug reports >view example then scroll down to 'Recieved incoming this session'. If it says 'false', LimeWire probably has a problem with a firewall and this will effect others downloading from you.
You can always go to the Download/Upload part of the forum & have a look at the stickies, there's heaps of info and advice there.

what's AFAIK?

It did come out as false. How do I fix this? I tried going to this site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml but none of the firewalls here listed what I got. I have a D-Link Air utility or the D-Link Air DWL-520 Wireless PCI Adapter. How do I deal with this kind of firewall or router and get it to work with limewire?

AFAIK means "As far as I know", sorry for the confusion

Re your firewall probs - go to the Download/Upload section of the forum & look through the stickies. You might find a solution. If not, post your question in that section (I don't know enough to help you out with this!!). Don't forget to include all info like: OS, Java version, Modem/router name & model number, connection type, and anything else you can think of.
Good luck

D-Link devices only support UPnP in certain models ( http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.as...eral%20Routers ), which allows LW to communicate directly with the device to open ports. Setting UPnP for your D-Link router: http://support.dlink.ca/ProductFAQView.asp?FAQID=1004 However, I've also read where D-Link's UPnP has had problems on specific models!

Thus, for D-Link (which is what I use) you generally need to manually forward a port. ie: Set up Static ip, forward a port, & then set LW's advanced options for manual port forwarding.
http://portforward.com/routers.htm (bottom left column of page) Can you find out the model of the D-Link Air utility?

I'm not sure what you mean by bar graph? Do you mean the connection bars at the bottom corner of LW or ... ?

Double-click the bar graph icon in the system tray (the area in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, by the clock) and select Site Survey.
Are you sure you have all the firmware upgrades for that model? Those instructions are for SP1 or no SP.

I know where the bar graph is located and what I said before is that it's not there.

And I don't know what the firmware upgrades are? I'm not that great with computers.
