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.

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.

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. |

 File icons blank now Hi, running latest pro version. WHen I do a search, almost all the icon file types are blank. Only a few show .avi, etc. WHat's up? Also, even though it lists that there are many sources, it rarely downloads. Thanks.  |

| No thoughts anyone? Nobody has this problem? Thanks. To clarify, blank means they are white/grey instead of an .avi icon. MOV or MPEG files show a Quicktime icon, but .avi are blank. Thanks |

| Hi there, i'm not an experienced user at all but i had the problem of limewire loading and opening with a blank screen and while searching would have blank search tabs. Not sure if this is the same problem you're having but it might just work! Try this (it worked for me) - Change skin modes. I changed my skin mode from their default one to the metal skin and everything came up fine. All other skin modes still came up with glitches except the Metal skin. In regards to files showing many sources but not being able to download, i've read that its because they're fake files. There's a thread posted by member "Lord of the Rings" explaining the situation with that. Hope this helps  |

| I've had the icons in LW change to LW's default icons. The ones shown on the library page under "Saves Files", but then they'd change back on their own. This used to happen off and on, but it didn't affect anything. The icons just show the program you have set as the default player for that type of file, it doesn't have any affect on the files themselves. Mine hasen't done it in a long time.

| For Mac OSX, if your file icons in LW are blank, it generally means you have no default program set to open those files. For music files, set iTunes as the default. For video files, get this player VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site). My guess is you have QuickTime player set as the default video player but you're lacking the correct codecs/plug-ins to play certain types of files. So .. to make VLC your default program for all video types, select an mpeg file & make vlc default. Do the same with mpg, mov, & avi. More about how to do this in OSX here: How to change default program in OSX BTW most files with the MOV extension on Gnutella network are spammed porn files. Especially if they are less than 100 MB in size.  |

| Thanks. Does the fact that the icons are blank mean they are not available as a reliable download source? If not, it's no big deal. Thanks. |

| No, it means you presently don't have a program set to open such files that is able to. That's why I recommend getting VLC & set VLC as the default program to open your video files. If you come across other types of files with blank icons, let us know & I'll tell you which program is required to open them. eg: I moved my iTunes music library to an external drive. I also moved the iTUnes program to the external drive. When the external drive is not turned on, all my music file icons are blank. That includes on LW & any on the computer. I have other music programs but because iTunes is set as the default to open them all ... without iTunes being available I get the blank file issue. No biggie for me. Once I reconnect the external drive the icons change back to normal. |
