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 library

I have 174 songs in my iTunes library but only 74 shared with Limewire. I see that these 74 are RealTime songs. My question: how do I get the other 100 tunes to be shared with Limewire? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Here are some possibilities:

Do you have your iTunes music folder set as your Shared Folder?

Do they all have the .mp3 extension?

Have you moved any folders around recently?

LimeWire "hashes" your files. This can take some time. If you don't leave it running long enough to finish, all of them won't show up until the program is on long enough to complete them all. And, if you move the folder(s) around it does them all over again.

Thanks for replying Julie Z.
All are mp3's.
The 100 iTunes are not with the shared ones.
Can I move the iTunes songs into the Limewire folder?
How long does it take for Limewire to organize it?
Yesterday I changed the directory for saving files but it saved more songs than I actually have which freaked me a bit as I didn't know what they were so I returned to the default directory.
Thanks again.

Hmmm... I'm getting confused now. LimeWire was showing more files than you have? Are you sure you had the path right? Setting it to "Music Folder" (for example) and not to "LimeWire Folder" (which has the Music Folder as well as program and other files)? These are just examples.

Anyway, I think it takes less than a minute per file to "hash". It may depend on your connection... not sure.

As for moving your iTunes into LimeWire folder: Will that mess up iTunes? Playlists? Can't you just set your Shared Folder as your Music Folder (which may be in your iTunes folder)? I don't use iTunes, so I don't know how it's set up.

In my case, I have a folder named "Shared Folder". Inside that folder are two folders: "Video Files" and "Music Files".

In LimeWire, I select Tools and choose Options.

In the Options window, I select Sharing.

I click on the LimeWire default choice and click Remove. (Well, I never let LimeWire set the default folder, I always change it in the Set Up Wizard)

I then click Add and browse to my Shared Folder.

I only have to select the one folder as it will include everything inside it (meaning both my Video and Music folders)

You select it by clicking on it once and then clicking Select.

Then click OK. and you're done... Hopefully!

I hope this helps. Let me know if there are any other problems.

Unhappy

Hi JulieZ: You've given me a lot to digest...I did mess up iTunes and had to reinstall after losing two years' growth thinking I'd lost all my songs (as I did by messing around with good old Napster). I'll print your message so I can look at it next week. Until Friday am helping a friend who has a florist shop...Happy St.V Day and thanks again. I'll get back to you next week if you don't mind. Pat
