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. |

shared files don't show up. been using limewire for a while - switched to it after napster bit the dust. i have limewire pro 3.4.5 (i think i wasted my money buying pro. i can't tell the difference between this one and the free one - except that the free one had skins that i could change and this one doesn't. what is up with that?)..... the files in my shared folder will not show up for other people to see. they do show up right after i download them, but as soon as i shut off limewire, then start it up later, it will show that i am sharing 0 files. both versions did this. what is going wrong? |

i am sharing the correct folder - the one i save to. mac files do not have extensions after them (i.e. .mp3). the odd thing is that if i download 10 *anything* (mp3, whatever...) at, say, 10:00am, those 10 *anythings* will immediately show up as being shared. then i shut off the program. if i start it up 10 minutes later, it shows that i am sharing nothing. are there some extensions that maybe i should try entering into the list or ones to share, that are not there by default, that might help? |
| |||
The Mac extensions should show. On OSX Finder->Preferences there is an option to always show extensions, but this doesn't affect the naming of my downloads, only the files I create. If you are using OS9 or earlier, the names might be getting truncated and you'll have to edit them to manually add the .mp3 extension. This sounds doubtful (test by downloading a short name mp3) and once it shows "complete", check your shared folder to see what name it ended up with. If all this doesn't work, uninstalling (along with the preference files) and a new clean install would be next. Cheers |

i've tried just manually adding the .mp3 and that doesn't work. immediately after i download an mp3 it goes to my download folder. i can change the name to remove the .mp3 and it still shows up, as long as i have limewire still running. (i.e. i can download "road song.mp3" and change the name to "road song" and it still shows up as long as i keep limewire opened. it still shows up as shared, no matter what i name it. but, once i shut down limewire and re-open it, the shared folder shows it is empty - 0 shared files. i have completely uninstalled it, re-installed it, trashed preference for it. i am using 9.2.2. |

Look for a file called "limewire.props" (In System Folder->Preferences->.limewire ) For a clean install you need to trash it (it contains all your preferences), or to really do a clean install, also trash the .limewire folder. Do you have OSX on your machine too? (just wondering if LW is reading from the wrong prefs). You can use sherlock to search for anything containing "limew" both visible and invisible in case there are some old prefs sitting in unexpected places. |
| |||
i have trashed the prefs, more than once. i have used the uninstaller that comes with the program and used that, then deleted everything with "lime" in the name, then re-installed. this i've done 3 or 4 times. still no luck. thanks for the ideas so far, though. i had the same problem when i used the free version of limewire. i had hoped that upgrading to the pro would fix the problem, but it didn't. no, i don't have OSX, also. only 9.2.2 |

Sorry to hear that. After you quit though, the files are still in the Shared folder, right? Hmm. Go to Control Panels->General and see if "protect System folder" or Protect Application Folder" is checked. If your shared folder is inside either, you can't write to it. [edit: I just checked and my OS 9.2.2 doesn't have those options--they were in OS 8.6] At least now you are entitled to Pro Support (email them your description and tell them you've tried to work it out in the forum--maybe you'll get an answer). the only other things I can think of are not too common--i.e Try setting the number of days to keep incompletes (Tools->Options) to some other higher number. The default should show 7. This works for some other problems. You can rebuild the desktop and hope that will somehow caused the Shared and Incomplete folders to be "recognized" Lastly, try looking at your Control Panels->Extensions Manager, and turn off any none OS 9 extensions. Extension conflicts can cause all sorts of problems, but I've never heard of one doing what you describe. Last edited by stief; August 21st, 2003 at 06:58 PM. |

yes, after i quit, the files are still in the folder - they downloaded correctly and i can play them with any mp3 player, they just don't show up as being shared the next time i start up LW. i've tried everything i can think of. zapped pram. rebuilt desktop. optimized. checked for invisible files that might screw anything up. i've even re-downloaded LW Pro and re-installed from the new installer. thanks for the help anyway. i'll try to change the days to keep incompletes. if it makes any change, i'll let you know. |
