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.

Sounds like a great offer thank you!

I learnt Kme not Thai but will be studying Thai 2nd half of year.

OK my suggestion is to find the exact location of your folders you wish to share & type it into the bottom option of the Add to share window.

eg: C:\Documents and Settings\Lotr\My Documents\My Music

What's Kme, is that like Cambodian or Burmese?
How comes you're learning Kme and Thai?

Right well, I deleted my .limewire and same old same old.

Also there is no bottom option on my Add to share window. It's like they're dead links...I can't believe that noone else has had this problem. I also tied copying and pasting my files into the default saving folder, all the files are in there Limewire can't see them so still shows me as 0 file sharing

To be honest with you, I think I'll just have to give up here, looks like that me and Limewire just aren't going to happen.

but hey, thanks again though for all your help

Where it says File Name in the above image you type in the folder address such as the example given. Then press the Select button.

Kmer is Cambodian language, has some similarities to Thai. I was very interested in Asian culture & language.

Another example is to type in C:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Shared which is your downld folder by default.

Did you get your LW from here? http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

I'm thinking there's something wrong with your installation. Go to Start menu>Programs>Limewire>uninstaller. And uninstall. Then downld LW again but save it to your computer, don't install over the net. Same applies to Java. Perhaps if you downld Java to your computer after uninstalling Java, then re-install it. Find Java here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp (take the JRE)

I think if you re-install both Java & LW from your computer (not over the net), then the problems will go away (fingers crossed.) Something's definitely not right! Needs at least another go at least!

I can't believe that no ones had this problem before...well, that's it I suppose.

Thanks for the invite. Your problem has got me stumped. I would like to think you won't give up just yet. I hope to attract the attention of other members to see if we can sort out your problem which is a very odd one. I've never heard of this problem before.

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. What firewalls you have?
2. ram?
3. Hard Disk space available?
4. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
5. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
6. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
7. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
8. Who is your isp provider?

Ok so you've found one of my weaknesses...I give up too easily.
But I really would love to use Limewire, there's only so many Thai Soap Operas a sane person can take

I'm going to try and attempt to answer the following questions, but i'm really not all that on computer jargon...

1. What firewalls you have?

Sygate, and I configured it to allow Java and LW

2. ram?

256 MB

3. Hard Disk space available?

7 Gigabytes

4. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)

Broadband

5. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?

Zyxel Prestige 630

6. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?

Home. Im using my laptop, Compaq Presario X1000, running on WinXP

7. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.

LW 4.8.1 Java 1.5.0_02

8. Who is your isp provider?

Hmm...as in who do I pay my bills to right? Well, that's a company called True...actrually on second thoughts you probably don't need to know that.

Checked in my network connections, WAN Miniport (PPPOE) is that any use to you?

I'm not sure what a router is, sorry...

Hopefully, we'll be able to get this problem sorted out.
Cheers again
Steppers

Forgot to mention i'm also using WinXP SP2, if that makes any difference.

Salut du Québec Steppers! I will ask you something to try that might help your situation:

First try to change the theme in LW to the limewire theme. Menu Display -> Apply theme -> Limewire theme. Try to add a share in options.

If that doesn't work:
-uninstall java 1.5 while LW is shut down
-install java 1.4 instead : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html (download the JRE)
-start LW and tell us if the buttons work

I tell you that because java 1.5 on XP uses the default XP appearance. Java 1.4, on the other end, uses by default the limewire theme (different innner working). The appearance should be different for your LW, but that might help you to finally activate buttons.

Ciao

Hello et Voil,

Sorry, but I've looked and looked on my LW screen and I can't for the life of me find anything to do with themes. Too be honest with you, I can't even find this Menu display button

Could you point me in the right direction, please?
Thanks
Steppers

In menu there should be File, Display, Navigation, Ressources, Tools, Help. You select Display or the second menu (my menu is in french so maybe my translations are off a little bit).
