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 Hits are many/uploads say 0

I have downloaded a CD to share and when I go under shared files the songs have a lot of 'hits' but the column that says uploads still says 0. Does this mean that people are trying to download and cannot? How do I convert the songs to wav or mp3? Thanks from a newbie. RaeRae

Default Codex

You need to download a codex or DVX player to play the video portion of your downloads. I had this problem earlier when I was getting rid of things on my computer and deleted the DVX player by mistake. I had to download it again. I hope this helps. I'm new to this but that's one I knew. Thanks! RaeRae

Hi RaeRae,

Hits is the number of times your file has shown up in some elses search results. Uploads shows the completed uploads / attempts. Unless your firewalled your files should be available for upload. Could be nobody has tried to get them.

To convert a file you will need a program to do it with. You could try this one here: SUPER v2006 Build 19

Or try this site: http://www.videohelp.com/. It has links to everything but looks a little intimidating.

Hope this helps

Edit: Oops got my threads mixed up.If you didn't see it, then never mind

Default I'm firewalled

Yes, my computer came with a firewall. I will try the programs you recommmend. Other things that I have downloaded from others people are accessing. I see it in the monitor. So if it would be my firewall they wouldn't be able to acess anything or just what I have personally downloaded to share? You didn't answer the wrong thread I don't think. I asked for help and this person asked me for help instead of giving me some. But I didn't fuss at them for it because I did the same thing before I knew it was called highjacking. I'm still learning so if I make any social mistakes just let me know. thanks so much for your help. RaeRae

If your able to download then you can leave things the way they are. You don't have to change anything. Sometimes even with a firewall people can still upload from you. You just won't get as many as you would if you have them configured for limewire.

Does LW show that you have a firewall? Check the icon of the globe in the lower left in LW. Is there a brick wall in front of it? If there is, that means you have a firewall blocking LW and you'll need to configure it.

See these threads:
FIREWALL ISSUES
Connection problems? Check here first!.

If you run into problems, post back with some info about your set up and we'll try to help.

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP(Internet Service Provider)
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

Default Ok Need more help with Super v2006

Ok I appreciate all of your help. I printed out the steps to configure my firewall and got that done. I downloaded Super v2006 Build 19 and it may be easy software for someone who knows what they are doing but I'm still new at these things. I got my songs on it by click and drag but when I try to encode them it says invalid next to them. I chose MP3 as the output. They are currently in wma. I don't know which frequency, channel or bitrate to use. Please honor me with some more of your knowledge! Thanks! RaeRae

I don't know. I've only converted 1 video file from wma to avi. Trial and error is how I did it. Maybe someone else has some advice.

edit:I meant wmv

There are various programs that can convert from wma to other formats such as wav or burn. One is iTunes. But converting to wav before converting to any other format is always the best!!!
