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.

Default Java problem

I wanted to install Java so that I can install Limewire. Now my problem is I can't get the Java installation to work. I went on their site and downloaded Online and Offline Installation packages for Windows. When I double click on the online installation I get the following message:
Abort Java (TM) Installer
To restart the Java (TM) installer, please refresh the web page.

When I double click on the offline installation, I get nothing. I mean I get a pop-up from ZoneAlarm Pro saying if I should allow this application internet access and I click Allow

pls help

Go to your add/remove programs and remove any version of Java you have sitting there...
When you download Limewire Java comes with it, if you do not have it already installed, so download limewire using the offline installer (not the recommend one) and see if that fixes your problem...

Something on your computer doesn't like Java lol...Just try disabling your firewall and AV whilst you are downloading Limewire and see if that helps...

Just try disabling the firewall for the moment and see if that helps..

No man.. it didn't help... But going back to what you said that remove any version of Java from Add or Remove Programs.. Well when I installed Limewire there was GTK Runtime and then i uninstalled it... Now even though java does not work... when I search it I get many results but nothin is listed in Add or Remove Programs..

Oh...That's strange, because you have to have Java to run Limewire...
But one thing is you need the JRE version of Java...Java has to be there somewhere...lol...

Frostwire and Bearshare are good, but if you decide to give Bearshare ago, make sure you go and have a look at the Bearshare forum..Aaron has some really good tips in there about what version to use and so on...
