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 Repeating Error Message

Using LimeWire for just two days now. Held off downloading it for a year because of the bad reviews on VersionTracker/MacUpdate but the last postings-comments- were somewhat positive. So what the hell.
I keep getting a repeating error pane that will not stay deleted. It says to automatically send the bug report to LimeWire but that won't work-"no internet connection" though I am online?-so I do it manually through the clipboard to mail app. OK, so far so good. I'm thinking that perhaps I'll get a response and a suggestion for a remedy, but no. An automated mail back says the information will be used by developers to aid in solving future problems. WTF? My problem is NOW! So here I am on this forum not knowing how to describe the problem really. I can include a link to the bug file if anyone can understand it. Click here: http://homepage.mac.com/cthulhu3/fil...ort%20copy.rtf

I just want to get rid of that error pane. Downloading does not seem to be affected. I dunno if this experiment is going to be a big pain in the *** or what.

Don't worry about the bug report: just set your options to Bug Reports-> Always discard.

Apple, LimeWire and others have given up on Java for OS 9, so even the report won't help the future.

Sigh--OS X is becoming the only real optionn if you want to keep up with filesharing on the Mac.

Thanks. I put LimeWire on the old iMac because I was worried about system screwups after reading the warning comments about it. I keep the G4 10.3.6 machine free of any software I have any doubts about.
The problem fixed itself when I rebooted anyway. Now if I could only get the audio files to launch from the Library. As it is I need to go into the hard drive to System/Preferences/Shared folder and re-open them in Quicktime. A real bother to say the least. Just can't figure out what has happened. The first two audio files work fine, but all others since don't-they appear as a blank page icon with a title in the drive folder-but the video files I download are all hunky dory. Elmer Fudd is whispering in my ear about something scwewey going on around here.

For OSX, just create a user account for Limewire, and enable Fast User Switching (I test all the betas in such an account, which isolates it from my regular account). No regrets in the last year and many many betas. Because LW then runs in an isolated user space, all your other stuff is protected. Just use the Fast User Switching to let LW keep running in that account while you do whatever you regularly do in the regular account.

For the OS 9 mapping of mp3's to quicktime, the easiest fix is to open the QT Control Panel, and get it to reset QT as the default type. If that doesn't work, it's time to rebuild the desktop/ start messing with the TYPE/CREATOR codes/ searching posts in this Mac forum for "Quicktime"
