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.

Unhappy Cannot play successful downloads on WMP 10?! Why?

Have Windows XP with DSL/Broadband. My concern is music only. Many songs download fine and then I can play or burn them using my WMP 10.

HOWEVER, many songs download on my LimeWire program just fine, AND will even play when using the 'LAUNCH' button.
YET.....when I open the file on my WMP 10, it downloads but will not open or let me play it. A "!" icon appears in yellow/orange color, and the error details tell me the 'codec' does not support the file. Or there is some combination of files and the WMP can't play because it does not have all the info??

Anyway, it seems curious that a successful download which will play on LimeWire, and which is listed as an Mp3, will not play and most importantly--burn--on my WMP 10, despite the fact that it does open and store the file.

Not a big deal, but there are certain songs where this always occurs, I'm trying to figure out the common denominator, if it is possible to burn them. Maybe this is a Windows issue but I thought someone might be able to shed some light on the situation.

Thanks.

1 ----------

Have a really thorough browse around these Tips & Tricks Forums where I have moved your post...

Search within Gnutella Forums for

codec or codecs

Gigabosozillions of posts on this amusing issue !

2 ----------

But to save you a lot of BS and stress...

Click on the

Nimo Codecs link in my sig below...

Download it as a SAVEd file... (You may want to re-install it...)

Install it VERY carefully...

Select ALL files and THEN remove the FOUR (4) files about which you are warned...
Then install ALL other Codecs.

After that you have a 99% chance that anything and everything will play on your machine...

If it does work for you and then later you notice that some files no longer will 'run'... Re-install Nimo Codecs because some other app got in there and changed your default codecs !

And - At risk of being considered outrageously pedantic - again ! - Do let us all recall that

CODEC only means COderDECoder

Default Regarding Ursula's reply and Nimo??

Hi Ursula and thanks very much for your reply!

Unfortunately I just don't get the whole Nimo thing. I'm a computer neophyte and feel like a dummy, but oh well.

There seem to be different duplicate versions of the same four Nimo programs, from basic to some scary Beta version that warns you not to use unless you are an expert, which I obviously am not.


I did in fact download those four versions and then installed three of them; but not the ominous fourth.

The music files will still not play on my WMP 10.

I'm positive I don't quite understand the Nimo site and/or your instructions.

I couldn't glean the four files you mentioned I would be warned about; or for that matter understand how to choose what and what not to install within each Nimo file.

Your instructions read simple and plain (although I don't get installing VERY carefully, as I thought one can only click 'install', is this a joke or serious?) but once at the Nimo site I got lost pretty fast.

Anyway, perhaps you can help, or I need to take a class. I'm sure most of this is not so complicated, but I just don't quite get how to do it properly. And also don't wish to do any damage to my computer. For now I have uninstalled the three Nimo programs from my control panel.

If you think you can help me further with this Nimo site, please do. If not, I understand you're busy and will learn as I go I guess.

Thanks for your time.

Peace,
Daniel

Default MP3 conversion

i'm running ImTOO WMA but ive tried 2 or 3 others and they all work. They change all sorts of files to MP3 and clear up those annoying codec problems. The only small problem is that you loose the embeded artist and album details. But these can be put back under properties.
