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.

Unhappy Burning CDs on MAC OS X

I have a Mac OS X, and I can't seem to burn cds using your suggested system that downloads when you click "burn cd." I know that is only for PC users, but what am I supposed to do? I tried moving the files to iTunes, but that didnt work. Please help! I'd hate to think that I downloaded all these files for nothing.

Lightbulb Burning CDs

I don't understand why iTunes won't work for you. Do you have a CD burner. If so, you have to import all of the music files into iTunes before it will use them. Don't just drag the files to the iTunes folder.
1. start iTunes
2. open Preferences and click the Burn tab
3. make sure your burner is recognized
4. select a burn speed (I found that slower speeds work even though my burner is capable of faster ones)
5. select the type of CD to make (only select MP3 if you have an MP3 player)
6. close preferences
7. import the songs by dragging them to the Library symbol in the Source window of iTunes
8. click on File in iTunes and select New Playlist and name it My CD or something else
9. click on the Library symbol to see your songs
10. drag the songs you want to burn over the the My CD playlist
11. click on the My CD playlist
12. in the upper right coner of iTunes you will see a circle that says Burn CD under it click the cirlce once to open it click once more to burn the CD
13. insert a blank CD into your burner and sit back and wait for the process to finish
14. Finished

Let me know if this worked by sending me an email to: teethdoc69@t-online.de

doulble clicking on an mp3 file should 1) launch iTunes, and 2) add that file to the library. then make a new play list and drag songs to it. open the play list by 2x clicking. hit burn button in the upper right.

??? comand I on the file, and make sure that iTunes is selected as the program to play that file type.

Default sorry, didn't work!

The LimeWire library will not let me drag files outside of the LimeWire application... They won't go to iTunes. I've tried opening iTunes and selecting Import from the File section at the top of my computer screen, but when i select the Shared file from where i'd like to import selectins from (that's where I have found my LimeWire files) it won't let me. Any more suggestions?

i may be off, but...
don't drag them from the application. find the file which should be in the "shared" folder ( or other if specified in the preferences). double click on those. they will play (provided they have the .mp3 extention and iTunes icon). once played, they will become part of the iTunes library.

I'm having the same problem. 2 weeks of downloading songs and I can't get them from LimeWire over to iTunes to burn them, I also got that PC message when clicking on the burn cd on LimeWire. I'm ready to just trash LimeWire face it that by havinging a Mac I have no way of being satisfied with a program that can download songs to burn and just go back to paying my cousin to find stuff for me and have him burn the damn stuff. Trouble is by the time he gets off his lazy a$$ it's weeks and I can have a bunch of stuff burned by then (I'm still waiting for something I gave him in June to burn for me) but I guess he doesn't want the $$$. Anybody have any other suggestions on how to get these songs I have same burned???? Nevermind, now I tried it again and the damn thing is working... Unchecking the use LimeWire player allowed the songs i click on to be opened in itunes.
