Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. 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.

You are suposto MOVE those silly little GIFs from the server where you found it to YOUR OWN SERVER.
These people were nice enough to provide you with a free graphic, you are NOT suposto use all their bandwidth.

"Any images you find useful, simply save them then upload to your web server. Do Not Link Directly To Our Images and Servers..."

I don't know about other people but I find these pretty butterflies and other silly graphics in messages annoying and space wasting.

This is exatly what I have done... I have uploaded it to the gnutellaforums server, what CycloCide allows, so where is your problem?

Next time before you write such crap and accuse somebody ask first and complain than about it.

P.S.:

Perhaps you should register to find out the options of vBulletin!

You just posted in this thread

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...php?forumid=19

and the GIF is this link

http://animations.fg-a.com/links108_a.gif

Or it was, I hope after this you change it.

So it's obviously not on this server, and I have seen others doing the same.

In my opinion, all these pretty little GIFs are not helping this board look professional.

Sorry I have to be the one to point this out, no one else will.

Otherwise I love you, and your attitude, and your service to this board, and all your posts.

I thought you are talking about the avatars...

About this annoucement, I copied it from ursula`s post - I changed nothing and I am not going to do it... ursula posted this and made it sticky... I moved it only there - I never used GIF in a post or I am going to use it...

OK, then the title of this thread is hereby changed to

"Ursula and others who keep using silly little GIFs"

Sorry for the mix-up.

Unregistered,

This is one of the advantages of becoming a regsistered user at GnutellaForums.com. This will allow you to disable the display of any images or attachments in posts (so they won't take up any of your bandwidth).

For those already registered, click "User CP" at the top, select "Edit Options" and set "Show image attachments and [img] code in Posts?" to "No".

I do not know exactly what you mean when you refer to, "Look professional", but I do know that it is important to remind you that the vast majority of people using this board do not have any problems with thinking of themselves as professional.
They are here for fun---- Yes, many are here for assistance, but it is to help them do something which is for fun. Only fun.

Considering the many problems that people are having with the newer editions of the popular clients and the enormous problems that exist regarding incorrectly configured machines out there, I would hope you would devote your time on these boards to helping others with the REAL problems.

And--- wait for it, here it comes--- if you are going to assist others with their problems, which would certainly be a 'professional attitude' to display here, you will really need to register so that those you help will be able to thank you

Relax

And you just don't get it.
Your little "scanner bar" is taking up SOMEONE ELSE'S SERVER BANDWIDTH!!!!
http://animatedgif.net/barslines/slidbar_e0.gif

so this poor guy who is giving away free GIFs to people is now having to pay because you won't do the nice decent thing and put the GIF on YOUR OWN SERVER!

You totally missed the point.

Whats the fuss about it?
I mean I can understand you if it is your server from
which the gif is linked to but I think it is not really THAT
important.

But hey,
Ursula lets just solve this little problem.
I have uploaded that gif image on my server.
http://216.26.161.50/scan.gif

So if just change the link on this url so Mr. X is satisfied

You mean that linking an image from a personal server?
Yes. It can be done on every HTTP Server.

er, that's not entirely correct

Just try to link from a Geocities server etc. They only allow images to be viewed as part of a locally served page...

If you try to just server an image to a remote page then you'll find it doesn't work.

Hi Paradog........

Sorry no reply to this until now, but I didn't see it until now.
View New Posts certainly has some weird behaviour patterns!
I'm just finishing a new OS install and all of the fun that goes with that, but I'll be in touch with you soon.

Geocities, now owned by yahoo, puts tons of java into pages that wastes resources, disallows lots of things and puts those stupid ads. The scripting also contains errors.

They impose harsh bandwidth limits and limit anything that resembles an image to be called from a page on their server, however the http server itself doesnt do this. Apache and IIS both will send an image to anybody who requests it, as long as they're allowed to.
