I am aware that the people who help in the forum are not LW employees. However, there doesn't appear to be any support avenue for those who pay for the software. There is no help ticket system and it doesn't appear that LW people monitor the forums either. The ver 5 release of Limewire for the Mac crashes every day - many times. It is extremely unstable. It has NEVER made it through the night - and my ability to access the preferences broke at least a month ago and has never been repaired. I am a very unsatisfied customer and I am looking for an alternative P2P platform.

The business about permissions doesn't make any sense. I have never heard anyone else suggest that this is a requirement after an os update. I will try it but under protest. And if it works I will give full credit.
