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.

banners fine. read again: bad are popups, blinking banners, registration force
I don't know of anyone that likes the blinking or "earthquake" banners or the popups. But there's not a lot CC can do about them.

He signed up for an advertisement provider, who in turn will provide him with the ads for this site.

He can probably restrict a certain number of ads, but not all of them. Plus, if he doesn't meet a certain "quota" set by the advertising provider, he may loose his account (some set limits such as a minimum of 50,000 ads per month displayed, or 50,000 unique viewers a month, etc, etc.).

If he looses that, he'll have to pay all of the fees associated with this site through his own finances; which may lead to the demise of this site if he can't cover it all.

Please consider that everything costs money. Some people even pay for the sun (solar electricity).

Younger people are superior, faster and better, so you keep your "I'm older" attitude, it doesn't impress me and as a "super mod" here you shouldn't be insulting us with your power trip.
Old foagies?????

Hey, last Tuesday was my birthday. I'm 17 now, and a "super mod". No-one judges anyone here by his/her age. I don't consider myself better or worse than anyone for just a simple number.

Then he needs to accept that users do something against.

simple solution against blinking banners and popups is to block them with webwasher or similar tool. I wouldn't do if webmaster take care about there visitors. But bombarding them with popups and blinking animated banners is a sign "I don't care and please block my banners".

Default Stop blinking in IE 5/Mac

Flashing banner only flashes once in IE 5/Mac when you go to Prefs, Web Content, uncheck 'Allow Looping' under 'Animate GIFs'. This affects all sites but you still see the animation the first time. The ad still loads so you aren't cutting short.

The other thing I want to know is if someone spent their time writing some code for this, would it get used? Are you open and able to test & modify this code? If a patch file was generated can you figure out how to apply it? Is this the "full version" for the software? Is it the latest release? Has there been any mods applied so far?

AFAIK that is the full version and its the latest release.

Yes, that's what a lot of people do. In fact, I have a popup stopper installed myself. But the problem, again, isn't at CycloCyde really, but the one that provides him the advertisements and the advertiser itself.

Perhaps you've noticed this. Advertisers are well aware that ads are being filtered and popups are being blocked. It would be very ignorant if they didn't. So now you're starting to notice advertisements that are part of the webpage itself, in the form of dHTML. That is, you'll see Toyota cars leaving skidmarks on the web page, AT&T is having a virtual cell-phone on the web page (preferably placed over the content for at least 5 minutes). Luckily, they aren't here on Gnutella Forums. But I am very tempted to add "yet" to that.

However, I do like the suggestion some have made to use a donation system. More websites and application developers are trying to use this method now.

There's only thing that concerns me about the donation system, which is from the time that ShareWare started to become CrackWare (cracked Shareware, so there's no need to register). In other words, how many honest people are there still out there willing to donate? It's almost like the message "Share damnit!" in the General Discussion forum - honesty is passe, leech for your own good.

Nevertheless, if there's a better way to keep the costs of running this site down, let CycloCyde know or post it here.

If you notice, the URL for the forum looks someting like this (taken apart so it posts here):

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?

s=647b219b357b0c4a916dc515295963a6&forumid=5

The s= part is a session ID, unique for each time you come here, and is probably good for 24 hours.

If that number could be tied to a first name or handle that the user types in when he first comes on here, then it would be much less hassle to "log in".

Just a idea.

If you are registered, you can choose to use cookies so there's no need to log in at all. Aren't you tired of having to go through that step every time you post?

OK. You got me. Sometimes I need to think before I speak. I was thinking about other forums which I also used to frequent.

The step would be NOT having to enter your first name or handle every time you post, and NOT having to have cookies on for this site and have to turn it off for others because of the misuse of cookies by these lame marketing companies.
And you should ask the question, if there is a session ID here, why does this forum require cookies?
I have seen forum software such as ultraboard and a few others that don't need cookies at all.

I think what you mean, is that when you enter the forum, you enter some sort of name. Then for the entire time you visit the forum, internal links will keep a refference to that name, without the need of cookies (as long you follow the links), correct?

I have no idea. Ask Jelsoft (http://www.vbulletin.com/); they're the ones who made it.
