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 Why this porn?

Why, every time I search for a song, at the top of the list it comes up, (song)cute girl has orgasm on webcam?

Also, how can I find out the extension on the files I am downloading on limewire?

Thanks for any help.

Try using the Keyword Filter.

keywords-filter

The File extensions should be visible in the search results under Type. If its not there, Right click the Info Bar and click Type.

Thank you so much, Remoc! That will certainly help.

I have another question: I copied all my music from the Limewire folder to a folder in My Docs called My Music, and instructed Windows Media Player to search for them there. Now I can't play them! Not even with the Limewire player. They seem to be playing, but I can't hear anything (sound works elsewhere).

Was that a mistake?

See This Link by Birdy. This will help explain how and where the saved/shared folders need to be.

If you've updated LW and can't find your downloads!

Files in the LW Library are Playlist Files and thats probably why they won't play. The real files are on your HDD.

Thank you, Remoc. That certainly helps.

What is HDD please? Are you referring to the hard drive? Also, can you tell me the difference between "playlist files" and real ones? And why "playlist" files won't play? Or point me to a place where I can learn about this type of file?

I do so appreciate your help.

HDD refers to Hard Disk Drive.

Some videos in searches may have HD or HDD beside them referring to High Definition, which of course after shrinking means they might not be high definition any longer, depends on particular file.

Playlists files are simply a document type of file which lists the names of songs, etc. with pointers to tell the player where to find them. The actual Playlist file itself does not contain music.

Thank you, LOTR. I understand now that my "My Music" file just lists the names of songs. However, all my titles show up in the LW library, and also in the Media Player library. I also have them on a CD. For some reason, I don't have a "Shared" file in my Name/My Documents folder. I have searched for a couple of the song titles but nothing turned up.

I was able to play 30 + - seconds of a song in Media Player, and they played while I was uploading them to Media Player. Now, I can't hear anything. MP also uses "Playlists," but I believe that's just for grouping songs, though I might be wrong.

If the document file that lists the songs has pointers to direct the player where to find the actual music, where are they pointing? Is there any way to find out?

NOTE: I have achieved sound on MP, and want to thank you guys for helping. I learned some things from this thread.
