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.

Question Can't find my music files, but it's still in Limewire

I recently got a new Dell w/ Windows Vista, and after I downloaded LimeWire, I thought it worked fine. IT searched as it usually did, and I could still download.

Now, however, when I tried to drag and drop the files into my iTunes library, it just does.. nothing. And when I search through the folder where it was supposedly saved, it's completely empty. I seached my entire computer, but they're not showing up anywhere, and yet they'll still play in limewire! Also, I have a Limewire folder in iTunes, and they'll play there, too, but I still can't find the source or how to get it onto my iTunes so I can put them into my iPod.

Ah, another thing, I also thought it might've had something to do with iTunes just not cooperating with my LW so I tried to move the files to a new music folder on my desktop. When I did, a message popped up saying that the files had been deleted from the folder LW had saved them in. How is that?

Is this a problem with Vista, or is my computer just messed up? Or is it limewire? Please help...

Your actually the second person that has said that there files have disappeared, the other person found them in their programs folder

This could be some sort of new bug...
Did you try clicking on one of the files in your lw library and then click explore...What happens when you do this, what opens up for you ???

Check this thread out as to how this person fixed the same sort of issue...

Yes, I did click the 'explore' button in L/W as I heard in another thread that that would open up the folder the files were in, but when I did, it showed the folder, but it was completely empty.

Thanks for the thread-- I'll see if anything there helps me.

Exclamation

I'M HAVEING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! ALL THE MUSIC PLAYS IN THE LIMEWIRE PLAYER, AND IF YOU SET LIMEWIRE TO USE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, IT'LL PLAY THE MUSIC IN WMP TOO! BUT WHEN YOU GO TO THE FOLDER WHERE LIMEWIRE SAYS THE MUSIC IS STORED, IT DOESN'T SHOW UP. i EVEN MADE SURE i HAD PERMISSIONS TO THE FOLDER. i EVEN DID A SEARCH ON MY COMPUTER FOR A COUPLE SONGS, AND WINDOWS COULDN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE ON MY HARD DRIVE! THIS WOULD BE OK IF I WAS JUST LISTENEING TO MY MUSIC, BUT I LIKE TO BURN IT TO CD'S TOO, AND i CANT DO THAT IF I CAN'T FIND THE FILE. IF ANYBODY FIGURES OUT A SOLUTION!! PLEASE LET MY KNOW RIGHT AWAY!

P.S., A SEPARATE THREAD SAID TRY POINTING LIMEWIRE TO SAVE TO AN INCONSPICOUSE FOLDER ON ANOTHER DRIVE, BUT THIS DOESN'T WORK WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE ONE HARD DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW THE ONLY QUESTION IS, WHAT ABOUT THE FILES I DOWNLOADED TO THAT FOLDER ALREADY?? DO I HAVE TO REDOWNLOAD THEM FROM LIMEWIRE IN ORDER TO SEE THEM? THERE ARE QUITE A FEW I CAN NOT SEE NOW THAT I NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE. AND IF I DO HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THEM AGAIN, HOW DO I DELETE THE ONE'S THAT ARE ALREADY ON MY COMPUTER (THE ONES I CAN'T SEE) SO I DON'T HAVE DOUBLE COPIES USING MY MEMORY??? PLEASE RE-POST, I WILL CHECK THIS THREAD DAILY FOR THE ANSWER.

Ah.. I actually fixed my own problem by uninstalling, then re-installing LimeWire. All of the previous music files in there were deleted, but it's OK since I only had about 2 in LW.

I don't know why it's working NOW, but it is, so njturner84, you might wanna try uninstalling it... then re-installing it, etc. If you have alot of songs, just write them down so you can re-download them later. It's what I did....
