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.

Angry GIVE MY 2.6v BACK!!!

Hello there.
Well, apparently, I'm not the only person havin' trouble vith LW 2.7v.

I dowloaded that new version today, and, now, I can't enter tne network. It's tellin' me to pass to LimeWire Pro, and, no yes, no or later button to go through.

Why don't you put a "Old Limewire Version" menu in your website? It's totally impossible for me to find the older version back! Well, hope all bugs will be very very very soon repaired. I talked about LimeWire to a lot of Mac users. Some of them even bought the Pro Version. I can understand that you don't care about "no paying" customers, but I did a lot of adds on my own way for yar software.

Hope having good news very soon from you!

Exclamation How to enter the network with 2.7.3 version

Well, I wrote taht message, because havin' problem to enter the Network. Finally found where the problem was!

I wanted to install the French Basic Program. And it doesn't work. But, I tried to install in English, and now it's working. Think the prob is a translation's one. The French text may take more place in the window, that's why the buttons didn't appear in it.

I didn't try with other international version, but the prob may be the same with other language. So, install the English version and you won't have any prob entering the network.

Best Regards.

LimeWire has an FTP site where all (except Pro) versions/languages are stored. Inside each version folder you'll find language and platform choices. Try it! http://www3.limewire.com/download/

Default 2.7 Upgrade a Disaster! How do I get my old version back?

I was running an old version and was relatively happy with it. Then a dialog box came up when I booted it yesterday with some urgent language that told me I MUST upgrade. I downloaded and installed 2.7.3 which proceeded to freeze three times, hang my system three times and, when it actually DID run it ran slow and failed to respond to commands.

How do I get my old version back????

Two things.

First: If you read up two posts above yours in this thread, you will see a link to the older versions of LimeWire. For my own purposes, I keep the previous version in case there are problems in the newer one.

Second: LimeWire goes through a hashing process with your files. It takes some time. During this time, it will run very slow and freeze up. Leave the program running, but Disconnect from the network. Let it sit and do its thing. I mean walk away. It takes a long time. When you see the correct number at the bottom for shared files, it should run normally.

Default Updated Version not "doing it's thing"

Sorry. Took your advice and waited a LONG time. Several hours. The Shared Files number arrived at the total contents of the folder and the app still runs VERY slowly and can not find any files -- unless there's no one on the network with any Elvis files to share.

Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great idea and I am extremely greatful for the opportunity to access gnutella with my Mac. I would gladly pay the money and upgrade to Pro if I could get this release to work.

Well, now that the files are hashed, that's one thing out of the way. If you give some information about your system, memory, etc. that might help too. Others may have some input. I set my memory high for LimeWire (50000 K) Others think it's fine at around 5000 or 10000 K. Regardless of what you set it at, it uses up alot of memory. But leaving it at the default can cause it to freeze and run slow. Buttons disappearing and such. Give that a try. I'm sure it will eventually work itself out.



p.s. That's why I said to walk away while it's hashing. It takes a LONG time.

Thanks Julie. I have increased memory to 50000. I'm running OS 9.1 on a G4 with a gig of RAM.

I have found with each version of Limewire, it runs worse and worse. If I could find a better alternative I'd never look at Limewire again. I am not impressed with it at all.
