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 Settings (Share and Monitor)

I added a directory for sharing and every time I start LimeWire again the setting is gone. The same is true about what I am monitoring.In fact no setting is remembered. It always uses the install defaults!

Is this something that requries the pay version or what am I doing worng?

You should be able to save the settings by clicking Apply, if this is not happening there is something strange going on.

I remember having a few crashes when I d/l new version and after crashes my settings were not saved.

Try File/Close, re-launch.. see if it works

Default Settings still not remembered

Sorry, it still does not remember the added share directory. I downloaded the latest version and it still does not work.

It also took weeks to get an answer here. I am not likely to buy if it does not work and it takes that long to get support. I am NOT criticizing you, just the authors for not having any answers to such a simnple problem.

Hi Gil

Sorry you're not having any luck with this problem, some people have reported the same thing and upto now I haven't seen an answer.

It is frustrating to see problems not addressed, I know. But most people on the forum are just users trying to help other users who are having trouble and they do it in their own time for no reward.

The developers don't patrole the forum every day, they don't have the time and believe me, I know how time consuming this can be, on a busy day I can spend 2 hours or more just reading. I think the life expectancy for a forum helper is about 6 months and we lose helpers all the time.

If it's not working for you, you may be able to use another gnutella client more successfully for now and come back and try LW on a future update. I'm trying Peerahna at the moment, it works well but it is very different and very new, took me some time to figure it out. You could try it and if you have problems, there are developers on IRC channel #gnutelladev, usually in the evening, European time, who may be able to help.

Good Luck Gil

Default Share directory problems with LIMEWIRE

I realize that this is handled mostly by users and I do not blame you at all.
I do think that the developers ought to be more responsive. They want a contribution but will not give any help to allow you to find out if it will work for you first. That is not a way to sell a lot of copies. I appreciate the aid form the volunteers here but it will take the developer to fix this. It seems that I am not the only one with the problem.

This forum is strange; the subject of a post does not carry over, not at all like a thread should.


Thabks again Kathw
