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.

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. |

 Is it just me, or do the bugs get worse each version? This is basically the same crap I reported to LimeWire at their bug-reporting e-mail address: I'm using the MacOS X version of LimeWire Pro 2.3.2. Yes, I actually paid money for LimeWire. I feel the application has been abysmal since about version 2.2. Probably the most useful version was 1.7, although 2.0-2.1 were pretty good. (1) Ever since 2.2.x, LimeWire won't stay connected to any one host for more than a minute. It becomes almost impossible for me to search this way... make that totally impossible. I haven't had a search come back successfully in I don't know how long. (2) Your search mechanism used to be really simple. With 2.3.x, I can't figure out how to get the "Audio" file type searches to work.. no matter how many or how few boxes I fill in, the criteria never seem to be complete enough for me to click "search" and start searching for something. What's up with this? I mean, if you leave a box empty, it should be the same as wildcarding that field to allow any match. I should be able to just enter a song title or an artist, and no other information, and the application should just handle it OK. But that's not what happens. No search ever gets started in 2.3! Furthermore, this new interface is completely undocumented. Even in 2.2, the search for audio files seems to be broken. (Hey, guys, you wouldn't happen to have any of the 2.1 installers left around, would you?) (3) LimeWire 2.3.x has some kind of really broken handling for display. Windows that should pop up in front of LimeWire somehow get hosed up and don't display properly -- the LimeWire window tries to stay in front of everything else, but in a half-assed fashion. In many cases, display corruption occurs, and the only solution is to click back and forth between the LimeWire window and the window of another application. How the hell can you guys be screwing the OS up this badly? Even 2.2 didn't behave this way. Must be all the new ridiculous eye candy you people stuck in the app. (4) Ever since the transition to 2.X, the LimeWire installers keep blowing away my old settings every time I try to upgrade to a new version of LimeWire. I hate having to set the application up again and again every time I install a new point release. The settings should be preserved between installations. (5) Your setup wizard is brain damaged. If I let it search my hard drive for files, it shows some directories that contain files that can be shared (but never finds them all), and the ones that I select with checkboxes are never the ones that actually wind up in the "Sharing" preferences. I always have to change what directories are listed in there. Geez, guys, I've been writing Java code for over 3 years, and I can't imagine what the hell you people are screwing up so severely! You iterate over a damned list and check a boolean for each member in the list, right? Right? How hard is that? So, these are my major complaints. You people have taken a clever and useful Gnutella client, and totally ruined it through feeping creaturism. Things were not great after the introduction to Ultrapeer, but at least the app was still useful, but after the 2.1 LimeWire, things just went downhill. Why oh why did I ever upgrade? The searching mechanism is so hopelessly broken AND UNDOCUMENTED, that it is useless. I might as well not be running your software. I have searched all over your web site, in your FAQs, your supposed help documents, your support sites, but nobody has explained how searching for files of type "Audio" is supposed to work. I can launch a search for "Any Type," but that doesn't seem to ever return results now. It's really a damned shame. Sincerely, Robert Poole lionlad@qwest.net tarquinaz@mac.com  |

 i love 223. i went back after 232, see post below. it seems that once a problem is solved, it resurfaces in a later version(i.e. the stoping of seaches by clicking the X on the tab). i paid as well, and thankfully i still had 223. |
