How do I Chat?
 

I cant seem to find how to use the chat feature.
I am using 1.8 version. ??

HOW CAN I CHAT??
 

The same question: WHERE'S the chat feature?

Again....how do we Chat?
 

I am the person to start this thread.....Can someone please help out here? how do we use the chat feature? I walked in from leaving my computer for about a 1/2 hour and noticed someone had left a chat message on my end, but I have no idea how to respond or to initalize a chat. Thanks for any help you can supply.

Right click a search results or an upload entry and click 'Chat with Host'. A window will pop up if the host has chat enabled (this is the default).

If you get a pop-up chat window from someone else, you can go ahead and type inside the message window. There are no sign-ups or memberships needed to chat.

Please post any other questions you may have.
:-)

Thanks
 

Thanks for your info.
I have one more question. How do we get every person out there using Gnutella/limewire to have complete files, with their upload option set to at least 50%? What a wonderful world it could be. :)
Cheers

LW follows the 0.4 specification, which says that incomplete downloads are kept in a seperate directory and are not shared. So, in theory, if everyone used LW, the problem would be solved. However, there are several clients that follow this scheme as well.

LW is at 100% upload speed by default. If people don't adjust it, we're in pretty good shape.

Chat in macintosh
 

Could someone tell me how do I chat in macintosh?
I'm using macintosh, there's no right button in my mouse, in some applications it's the same to press the comand key (apple key) ant then click, i'ts like the right button on pc's, but doesn't work.

what the heck!...
 

Where the heck is that "Right click" on my Macintosh????
Bad advice, TruStarwarrior, you should know better!

For Mac users, hold your CTRL down while you click over the line you are d/l. A menu will popup after a few seconds, one of the lines say "chat with host".
Be my guest!

I'm so sorry I accidentally forgot I was in the Mac section. I should really watch myself later on. I never know who will get upset at me.

And for your information, I did have the correct information in the FAQ.

So don't go blaming me for trying to offer some advice.

I still can't chat!
 

Okay, I have the option to chat and the chat window comes up, but when I try to type something, nothing happens. I have tried clicking in the chat window and a "you:" get's sent to the other person without any response from me. I'm starting to annoy people, help!

Why can't I type anything in the chat box?

Are you able to put your insert point ( looks like an "I") into the window?

bunch o' fools
 

Get with the program peeps and buy yourself a two button mouse...hell, go all out and buy with a SCROLLING WHEEL (ooh's and aaah's).

I will ask you once. Stop the rude sarcasm or your posts will be edited.

I cannot enter text in the chat window.I've tried several different key combinations, but that just does funky things to my menubar. This has been the case since ver.1.8, I am now using 2.1.3. I also use it in OSX, same thing. People do get annoyed with you, when you don't answer a simple question.I can't find the answer to this anywhere on this forum. I especially wonder why it's not in the FAQ. Surely this is affecting a number of users. Thanks for any help.

This is a bug in LW.

It's not in the FAQ because people like Mr. Unregistered never stick around long enough for me to find out what the problem is or determine what version it affects. So, all I can say is "it's a bug." But I thank you for giving some information on this.
Which MRJ do you use?

I am running mrj 2.2.5. I hope that helps.

We'll see what the developers can do.

I am doing quite a bit of work on the Mac version, so I will look into this issue for the next major release of LimeWire. Thanks TruStar for pointing out this thread -- I had completely missed it!
