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.

On the LimeWire site click the download through LimeWire link. And it will open limewire if it isn't already open. Then it will say needs more sources. Click the skin in the downloads tab and put find sources. It will then say do you want this skin? And click yes. Then it will be installed.

Default Skin location still a mystery!

That's nice and all. It does change the skin but I am trying increase the font size so I can SEE limewire (lol). I have modified an existing themes.txt file but don't know where to install it to make it work. I don't have a .limewire folder under docs and settings like the site says. I have XP. Help!

When I d/l skins and install 'em on LW, they show up in my library, because I want them there. That way, I can find them. Sometimes I question having it in my library, but apparently there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with having the skins in my library (since it's part of LW, as far as I'm concerned). My favorite one so far has been a pinkish skin that reminds me of the psychedelic era. Also, when LW first opens up, I get a pic of a guy doing the "devil horns" gesture. My kind of skin, imo.

daisanjiro,
You might have your preferences folder in the new location of C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\LimeWire.
This folder's hidden by default, so you'll have to enable viewing of hidden files & folders to see it.

The C:\Documents and Settings\.limewire is the old location for the prefs folder

My skins have always automatically appeared in my library. However, when I dleted my limewire preferences folder to try and solve my bug issues with 4.14 Pro, I lost some of my skins. My beloved pink is gone! When I tried to redownload it, i get a message saying this file laready exists and do I want to override it and I say yes but nothing happens afterwards. I mean I don't find the skin in my list when I go to view skins tab at top. i haven't looked in my libraryto see if the file is still there but even if it is, how am I supposed to use it if it doesn't show up in my list so I can change skins?

Cos, I'm guessing here but if you right click on the skin in your Library then click launch, I think that will do it. Hope.

Thumbs up About Skins

Actually I tried that but they wouldn't launch so I had to go and redownload every single one of them but thanks for the post somebody put up about just clicking on the find sources buttons and it'd start downloading because before, I just assumed that the needs sources thing meant I had to wait and get it from a host and that seemed highly unlikely given the crappy downloading lately. I gave up until I read that post. now I have them all back, at least until the next time I upgrade or have to delete my preference folder or or uninstall/reinstall a version of LW.
