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.

Default FireFox 4.0 Beta

Firefox has always been a good browser, converting Internet Explorer users everyday. Addons to the browser making the program more and more useful.

Recently the folks over at Mozilla have introduced Firefox 4.0 Beta to the internet community. Trying the software out I would like to show to you my pros and cons of the program from my experience.

Please note I am using this software with a Windows 7 O/S (64bit).

Pros:
- The beta is faster than previous versions of Firefox, loading 3-6 seconds faster and loads web pages about 2-4 seconds faster.
- The skin on the beta looks similar, which I enjoy, I do not like things all fancy. I like it simple and sleek.
- When you hold your mouse over a link, it displays the link URL on the address bar.

Cons:
- After loading the browser sometimes freezes for about 10 to 30 seconds.
- Bookmarks, History and all other options are all in more sub selections behind one button.
- 90% of the addons are not compatible with the 4.0 beta, especially the bitcomet addon which I favour.
- The stop, reload button is at the end of the address bar.
- Watching videos on YouTube, and scrolling down the page to read the comments the browser glitches and a section of the top of the browser turns white.


Feel free to give your own opinion about the software.

Default New Firefox

Townie2

You know, when Opera upgraded so it's add-ons (called Widgets) no longer worked I moved over to Firefox and Opera, on the whole, lost out in the browser race. So much so that it almost became, for a while, the least popular browser in the world.

I hope Firefox does not make the same mistake, add-ons add value and facilities to a browser. Too bad Opera didn't realise that.

i hope not too, though it seems to me (may just be me), that the last couple of versions are a little slower. Addblock Plus is a must have, and DownloadHelper is great for youtube.

Default Firefox Add-ons

Townie2

I use those add-ons as well, along with WOT, Better Privacy and No Script.

And yes, Firefox has got a little slower because it checks for updates for itself as well as it's add-ons before it starts up. In fact, the more add-ons you have the slower the start-up, plus FF is a little power hungry so your PC has got to have a bit more push to get it going.

Even so, I believe that FF is currently the best browser, for facilities and safety features, that you can install on your PC.

However, I do wish that there was a simple method to control the number of "toolbars" that appeared whenever FF starts up, at the moment I have to untick two of the six toolbars that appear when I use FF.



UK Bob

PS. FF has just notified me that there is an update available for "No Script".

i love FF, but it's it's killing the new little netbook i got, it's only 1GB RAM (160 HD). my desktop is big enough to handle it no prob, it's a little slow, but it's painfully slow on the netbook, lol.

I've been thinking about getting a netbook myself, its just that I haven't fully worked out the use I'll put it to yet.

Anyway, as for FF being a power drain on netbooks maybe we should start lobbying Mozilla Firefox for a Firefox Lite browser.

I notice the difference of how much computer resources Firefox takes up on an older 7 yo computer, 2 GHz 448 MB ram, XP. Firefox takes 3-5 minutes to fully load with 3 small add-ons, a few saved tabs.
Safari in comparison took 18 seconds, Thunderbird about 25-30 secs. Ridiculous huh? I didn't realise how demanding Firefox is until I used this older computer.
Edit: I suspect the saving of tabs when closing FF is what makes the FF take so long to restart up & settle.

Well Botox

You have highlighted a good reason why a Firefox Lite browser would be a very good idea.

Still, time will tell if Mozilla will run with the idea.

erasing FF history once in awhile helps.
