Forum Rules

Support Forums

Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you
LimeWire and FrostWire users need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

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.

I see someone let loose the unregistered troll again.

I have never seen an ad on XoloX version 1.20 nor had any other problems with it. So disreguard the unregistered troll's comments.

Hey Ironman I think he means the adverts/banners you see when viewing the discussion boards, as well the full page ones that occassionally appear when you hit a hyperlink. I've seen some adverts a couple of times when trying to view hyperlinks. For me though its no big deal a few adverts here and there doesn't hurt once in awhile, I just ignore the stuff

btw, this is how XoloX supports itself and stays alive with the few adverts/banners it displays. I now there is a way of elinimating the adverts/banners if you understand what your Windows Host File function can do

dude calm down its okay! unless you personally are a millionare, and can pay out of pocket for xolox's development, i am sorry to say that you have no say whether or not ads will run.

also, instead of out-right complaining and using foul language to get your point across, try asking a simple question. youll find it much more productive in the long run.

just fyi: the 'full' page adverts you get from pages *OUTSIDE* the xolox site are usually just a normal pop-up's the XoloX browser catches and makes a new tab within xolox. Its actually better for surfing the web ( including this forum) the way it catches the popups since they are easier to close

OMG, it has ads? You mean those little flashy things way up in the corner? Hmmm, I hadn't thought about them much.

The way I figure (bring on the hate mail...) is Xolox not only rocks, it's free, the music sharing is free, and I get to respond to stupid posts like this just for FUN! So, not only have I registered my Xolox for free, saving bucks, and not spent a ton of money on new CD's (yet), I get to open my big ol' mouth without getting my *** kicked in person.

Seems perfect to me

Well, you gotta love the ones who are blinded from reality. Programs cost money -- meaning, either 1. Users buy the program or 2. The program is supported by ads. Which is better?

XoloX's ads are non-intrusive and arent based on third party programs.

Gnutellaforums has banner ads, scroll up some time.. The xolox "ads" are just placeholders.

Default Banner ads are one thing..

But pop ups are where many people stop ignoring or buying.. they simply stop using. I hope the Xoloz crew gets a clue on this subject.

Default Worth the sacrifice

I see a single popup ad whenever I start up Xolox, but you know what, I've become such a fan of Xolox and supporter of our community that a single popup ad isn't going to bother me. There are other programs that do much worse, I've used programs that have so much adware and spyware and cookies that it can take months (next to a quick format of the harddrive) to get rid of it all. Xolox is the first p2p program that I've ever given my full trust in and I know they have my interested in mind. I mean jeez, its just a single pop up and after closing it once I never see it again unless I close and reload the program.

If any of you don't like ads than I challenge you to make a p2p program COMPLETELY FREE without a SINGLE means of supporting yourself from the program without using ads, as reliable and useful as Xolox is. Welcome to the real world. Put up or shut up. Xolox rocks

I'm a bit of an "ad-Clicker." I like those scratch and win ads and punch the monkey and find the ball and hit the target ads.They're great! Sorry ad haters....I love em!
