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.

OS/X notes

We just posted a slightly modified version of the OS/X installer in www.limewire.com/beta/ The only difference is that the background on the spinning lime image is transparent.

Here are the bugs people have reported on OS/X, and our diagnosis:



* Configuration windows appears after every startup. We can't reproduce this. Is LW in a directory without write permissions? It needs to write limewire.props to record configuration settings. (Ideally we'd write this to the resource bundle, but we haven't firgured out how.)

Reply:

I can reporduce this by exiting Limwire using Quit from within OSX itself (using the pull down menu next to the blue Apple and quitting there) vs using File->Exit that is within the Limwire menus. If I use File->Exit, I dont see the config window again.

We unfortunately can't make that any faster; it's Sun's code. However, I bet you one beer that it will work if you give it a few minutes.

Question Ver1.6 LimeWireOther

I noticed that there is no LimeWireOther.zip in the beta 1.6 location. Will there be a LimeWireOther.zip beta 1.6? Or perhaps there were no changes made to the portion of the code that makes up LimeWireOther? I presume that all of the OS specific packages contain whats in LimeWireOther along with an OS specific JVM?

LimeWireOther 1.4b works pretty well on OS/2 Warp Server for e-business, but it has a few problems and I'd like to try 1.6 before passing any judgements.

The LimeWireLinux.tgz should work for all platforms if you have java. The only change actually is that you have to convert the ";" in the limewire.props classpath to ":" for it to work properly. We should probably be able to fix that.

Actually, I think I mean that the other way around. Convert the ":" to ";" in limewire.props for the classpath.

Talking Question

--
I have a question. When will the "real" 1.6 come out, not the beta? Also, for Win 9x users, when will we get the systray feature?

Default Mac Betas - Missing Two Option Tabs

Congratulations on an excellent and very stable program.

I thought you would find it useful to know that both Mac Beta versions 1.5 and 1.6 are missing the last 2 "Options" tabs (Filters, Advanced) on one of my machines (iMac 233), but present on my other machine (PowerBase with G3 accelerator). On the latter machine everything works perfectly and completely.

In addition to the missing Options tabs, Limewire on the iMac does not preserve changes to any options involving typing in a value (that is, the cancel, apply, and OK buttons don't work; they just turn dark colored with a click and nothing else).

Both machines run OS 8.6 with _all_ latest Apple software updates, and they are connected to a LinkSys Cable Router with latest firmware. I use the most minimal extension set (that is, to get online) for both machines, using latest version of Conflict Catcher. Limewire folders on each machine have an identical installation of files and file sizes.

I have rebuilt desktop and ran latest Norton Utilities and DiskWarrior, with no effect.

I have made many installation attempts, always with no extensions loaded (shift-key down). I always give application at least 20mb memory.

With the exception of the Options problems, Limewire works fine on iMac.

Thanks


P.S. Increased application memory and minimal extension set has reduced freezes and other problems down to 1 error per 20 hours of usage.
