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. |

 mouse buttons won't click on limewire i have been able to install limewire with no problems and nothing out of the ordinary. once i open limewire though i am unable to click on anything inside the limewire window or the window itself. i can't close, minamize, move, right click, nothing. however it does highlight what i am rolling over with the mouse i just can't click on anything. i am able to use the mouse on anything else on screen whether limewire is open or not. when i open the task manager it just says that limewire is running it does not say not responding. however, if i use the keyboard i am able to somewhat use limewire by hitting the tab key to change what is highlighted and using enter, i can even run a search. but i am unable to use all of the options. i have downloaded the latest version of limewire and i'm running windows xp on a lenovo computer (if that helps anyone). if this can be fixed it would just make using the program alot easier and enjoyable. thanks  |

| I'm pretty sure that a Java update fixed this problem for one person (can't find the thread right now though  )... give it a try.Remove your current version of Java (add/remove progs) & reinstall JRE using the offline installer, point 1 below Fixes for LimeWire Last edited by birdy; August 27th, 2006 at 06:30 PM. |

| All the fixes in that thread are worth a try incase the Java doesn't solve it Also did you by any chance install Limewire using the online (recommended installer) ? If you did then try the offline installer and remove your current limewire (Don't use add/remove programs. Go to Start>Programs>Limewire>Uninstall or go to your Limewire programs folder and execute the uninstall file) Then install using the offline installer |

| you might want to also defragment your Hard Drive. And perhaps do it maybe once a week if you could. to maximize performance. to do this: Start>My Computer Right click on your hard drive and click properties. Click the tools tab. Then click Defragment Now... When the defragment window opens up, click analyze. When its finished, it will tell you if you need to defragment or not. |
