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.

kgun is flying high
Default Language page...Blank

Hello,
I am a Lime Wire Pro user. I was using the program with no problems on Friday Feb 25. Yesterday I clicked on my Lime Wire shortcut and the program "timed out" it didn't say that, but the small Lime Wire screen went blank and then was frozen with nothing in it. Then I get another blank box labeled "Language Options."
I deleted the program and re-installed 4.6 yesterday. I click on the shortcut and I see the Lime Wire box appear, then it goes "Blank" and then I receive a blank small box titled "language options" again, with nothing in the box and the program does not allow me to go any further.
Does (has) anyone experienced this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck

Thumbs down stuck on language blank screen

I followed LOTRs suggestions to no avail. The strange problem for me is that it starts up but does not show connecting, (the thing on the bottom of the program screen that "slides" back and forth.

It just freezes up, "no hourglass"

It gets stuck on a blank screen that has "language options" on the top of the blank box!!!!

The language option is normally what comes up with the installer not the program itself. Not unless you're setting the option settings. May I suggest you uninstall LW (Start menu>Programs>LW>Uninstall), & delete the LW Preferences folder found here: Fixes for Limewire & download Java installer to your computer & then install Java. Then go back & download the installer & SAVE the installer to your computer (not install over the net.) Then install LW. If you have the same problem, then reboot your computer & try again. If still same issue then see: Here about other version.

Please don't double-post about the same topic; see: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?s=&forumid=29

The language option is also part of LimeWire's setup wizard.

I have a suspicion the LW installers are not doing a complete cleanup job when installing over the top of older versions. Particularly in regards to shortcuts. I found an older shortcut still in my Start>Programs>LW menu

Sorry about that last post.

Anyway, pertaining to this problem....

It appears that this is a new bug that conflicts w/ the ATI Radeon series of drivers. I suggest you add this to known bugs.

If you have customized your direct3d settings then you must use the default settings in order to run Limewire. I hope to see this corrected either through limewire or ATI in the soon to be future.

Anyway please realize that this IS NOT a java installation or installation conflict at all but rather a conflict between Limewire and the ATI Radeon series of drivers.

AFAIK LW is more than 95% designed using Java. So to say it's not Java related is perhaps slightly off the mark. I might be wrong but.
