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 OS X Leopard - all versions crash on start

Major crash in Leopard. Limewire has been okay ever since I installed it a while back, but recently it crashes on startup. The program shows momentarily, but crashes almost straightaway. The latest version seemed to crash after it's installing digital audio access. I installed an older one, but that does the same.

Here's the report. Any advice would be appreciated. As mentioned, it's only happened recently.

Default Fast Crash

The same thing happens to me. I have been using my MacBook Pro for two years. Suddenly, about a month ago Limewire started crashing at startup after the first question about upgrading. Last week, I upgraded to Leopard, but nothing changed. My exception error is slightly different. It is as follows:

Just started working again!

I reinstalled the new version of Missing Sync and after that, Limewire seemed to be okay. I don't think it's connected, but then again, you never know. Missing stopped working properly because I was using the Tiger version. They released the new version and after the download, it started up.

Strange.

I was in Leopard to start off with.

Default Missing sync?

That's good you've got it working. However, I don't see the relevance. I think you've run into a lucky coincidence, or perhaps Missing Sync is packed with something that helped your situation. After all, our errors were slightly different. Yours indicated a Java process. Mine only talks about Limewire as the process. I have never used Missing Sync, and I have no need for it. So, I think I'm looking for a different solution. Congrats on yours, though.

I hope you all saw this http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...sx-10-5-a.html (click on link)

Also, make sure you do safe boots & repair permissions after installing any software or updates for programs or OSX; help! limewire suddenly gone down, cant get it working. - Gnutella Forums (permissions) SAFE Boot & Repair Permissions.

You can also set up another account on your computer & see if the same problem occurs; Setting up a Test Account in OSX (click on link)

Default Heres the weird thing ...

I basically had a situation where: everytime i click later or the close button, when it says "do u want to upgrade ..." etc it would crash ... however, if i didnt click it straight away and just start searching (the blinking "|" symbol should be blinking as soon as it loads, indicating u can start typing, despite the upgrade box being up) it will work fine, and after i begin searching i can click off the upgrade to limewire pro box fine and carry on like normal...

let me know if this is just lucky for me or if it works for others

p.s. the "super" emoticon was just cos it looked funny and holds no relevance
