Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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 Problems Launching Limewire

Because the ****ing support form on the website is useless, I am reporting this here.

I am using a Macintosh Powerbook G4...whatever. Anyway, I downloaded the newest version of Limewire yesterday and it worked fine. But today, all of a sudden, when I try to launch the program, I get the message "The application Limewire has unexpectedly quit. The system and other applications have not been affected." This has happened with another program and I was told to delete a corrupted file from the Macintosh HD>Library>Preferences. Is there something similar to that that I must get rid of? This does not make any sense. Why would it work one day and not the next? Somebody please explain this (yeah, right, like anybody's actually gonna do their job and SUPPORT US).

Would you really want to help this guy.?

Any way I do not use Mac I build my own and prefer Windows not that Mac isnt a good system, I really dont know. As for your problem I will give it a shot but do not know if I will be able to help first read the forum rules especialy #3 under the heading the RULES click on the link below for the rules

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?s=&forumid=25

After you read the rules try some of the fixes in the link below especiall the topic Fixes For Limewire these fixes are for Windows and I do not know if they work for Mac, but give them a try. If they don't try repoasting with a little more class and I am shure if anyone can help they will. And when you repoast if they don't work be sure to post what fixes you have tried LW version/Java Version etc. If you read the above link you will know what information to post and how to write a good thread. Clik on the link below

I already know the rules of forums, due to being on anime forums for a number of years. Don't tell me how to write a good thread, because I already know.

And you posted the same link twice. Some help you are.

Report to what or whom? With an attitude like yours! hmph! Why would anyone 'want' to volunteer their time to helping an ungrateful sod like you. If you already read the forum rules then why did you go to such an effort to insult another member of the forums? If you're a LW pro user then seek their support. If you use LW Basic then some diplomacy goes a long way. If you're so experienced at another forum then you haven't shown it. We don't need trolls around here!

So you're a mac osx user. Did you look at the Sticky threads in the OSX section of the forum! It doesn't sound like it. Did you search your topic before posting! You just came here to blow off steam & troll. I will happily help those that show a need (if I feel like it) or happily see you disappear from the forum. This is your 1st official warning to behave! bye!
