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 Shared Folder

This is me after a Limewire mishap. I was cleaning out my library tonight of songs that I don't want. A bunch of them were from my sister. Anyways, I wanted to see if the amount of songs were the same in my Limewire library and my iTunes library. I knew that if I created a folder on the desktop that it would tell me the number of files in the folder, thus telling me how many songs I have. So I did find out that they were the same. But when I dragged the songs back from the folder that I created on my desktop to back to my shared folder in Limewire, they wouldn't go back. So now I have the songs working in iTunes but heres the thing, they only work if the folder that I made stays on my desktop. So here is what I want to do. I want to be able to put my songs back in Limewire without having to keep the folder on the desktop. If I delete the folder and go to click on a song in iTunes it says "the original file could not be located. Would you like to locate it now?" Does that mean that I have to individually find them? Basically I want the songs back in Limewire in my shared folder (as if I never moved them) so I can delete the folder I made on my desktop. Please help is needed!

Shut LW down and open both folders in windows(your "Shared" folder and your desktop folder). Then drag your files from the desktop folder and drop them into your "Shared" folder. If it doesn't work, what happens when you try it?

Also not a good idea to save files directly to your desktop. It's better to create a shortcut on your desktop to the folder their in.

I tried dragging and dropping them back in the folder. They refuse to copy over.

If you did not take the songs out of iTunes library folder, & you received that message, it means those particular songs were not added properly to iTunes. It was referencing them from the LW shared folder.
Answer is to open iTunes, drag & drop the songs or folder onto the Library icon at the top left of iTunes. It will copy those songs that were not there before. It will not copy songs that are already in the iTunes library.

The other files, if you wish them to remain in the shared folder, the as 6_pac suggested, you close LW & copy them back. Sounds like a permissions error.

If you wish them to remain in LW's shared folder for sharing purposes with other gnutella users, there's another option. Add some or all of the folders within iTunes Music Library folder to share. ie: Go to LW's menu bar, Tools > Options > Sharing & click the Add/browse button & direct it to the iTunes music library folder.

If your purpose of keeping the files in shared was for sharing playlists with family members, you can create your own playlists within iTunes. And enable network sharing in iTunes settings. Those playlists will be available to those on the same lan network when both iTunes are open at the same time.
Or if on same computer you can create playlists within iTunes & save them to a common area & allow your family members to import those playlists.

You need to keep in mind those songs that appear in the LW playlist in iTunes are not actually in the iTunes music library until you actually add them in the fashion suggested. Playlists are simply documents that point the player to where the song files are ... for the LW playlist, it means the songs are in the shared folder. You would want them all to eventually be added to iTunes music library.

Lord of the Rings, I understand what you are saying but what I am trying to do is to remove the folder actually delete it from the desktop and when i do that, iTunes does not recognize the songs it says "the original file could not be located. would you like to locate it now?" I am trying to take the folder that I made that now contains all of my music and move it back to limewire's shared folder as if I never created a folder on the desktop.
