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 LimeWire 3.9.2 Beta

The LimeWire 3.9.2 beta is released, with the pro version available from a link on your Pro download page, and the free version available from the LimeWire download page.

Changes in 3.9.2 include:
- Filters for search results!
- A brand new "community" search!
- Many more sources in search results!
- Improved firewall detection.
- Many code optimizations (submitted by Philippe Verdy).
- Upload Slot Memory, to ban greedy clients (submitted by Gregorio Roper).
- Use of a new X-Feature's header in uploads & downloads (submitted by Gregorio Roper).
- Revamped GWebCache handling (to stop hammering GWebCaches).
- MAGNET support on Linux and other Unix OSes. Just copy the magnet link to the clipboard and go back to LimeWire -- it will recognize the link and ask if you want to download the file.
- Revamped iTunes integration on OSX, to fix a possible cause of crashing (submitted by Roger Kapsi).
- Fixed many bugs related to the addition of icons in 3.9.1.
- Improved "reselection & view-moving logic" for when search results are pouring in.
- Fixed the spinning lime to stop spinning after a reasonable time.
- Fixed placement of popup menus (submitted by Roger Kapsi).

Please give this beta a heavy workout, and remember that none of the interface changes are set in stone, so you if have any suggestions, let us know! Comments on any bugs, problems, things that aren't intuitive, etc... are always welcome and appreciated.

There will be more betas with more features added as the 3.9 series progresses.

Thanks again to all open-sourcers and beta testers in helping to make LimeWire into the best file-sharing program worldwide.

Thanks,
- The LimeWire Team

Salut Sam, I like the new search interface a lot (I wasn't sure at first) The only thing to change is a more intuitive way of doing searches when you are already in one. For exemple, when you are doing a audio search and want to do a video one, it might be misleading to see "Audio -New Search"... Why not put all the search type icons in top so you select one to search or simply a "back to search option" button? Other than that, when you do search for an artist for exemple, the artist meta-data box will select the first artist appearing while I prefer seeing all the names for an artist, then select the one I want or none at all. Newbies willl ask why 12/75 results if they don't select anything.
Other than that I'm happy to see the changes rolling into the 4.0 release and the great help of open source LW developpers. Kudos to them and LW team.

À+

Congrats again--the community search is a really interesting idea. I thought it meant (intuitively) that it would search by country, or perhaps media type, but the 'new' idea is cool. The layout is easy on the eyes, but I'll need some more practise before I can work it comfortably.

I was surprised to see video returned the most "New" results. I guess the "gnutella is mostly for mp3's idea is being challenged.

some oddities--the window header showed "disconnected" for a long time after startup, even though I was connected as an UP and uploads were going on.

--.lit extensions only show in the "any type" filter--I'd expected them to show as "documents"

Glad to say I haven't seen those NPE's on the Monitor Pane yet (sorry--I tried )

And THANKS for the changelog and credits update. I realize such bookkeeping is tedious, but it's OH! so useful. I hope the opensource credits page will be updated soon--it's pretty out of date.

well--back to the workout. Sure is a time to celebrate the success of the project--the numbers on the netstats page just keep getting better.

btw--is there much hope that this beta will help with the connection problems (other than better firewall detection)?

can the magnetmix link be added to the Resource menu for pro users?

And--how can I send my appreciation to Adam for all the work he did, and best wishes for whatever he is doing now?

I don't like the in-search sorting at all. Not how it is now, it just clutters the screen, and takes up too much space. There needs to be an option to turn it off

Hi Spinner -- What do you mean by "in-search sorting". Do you mean the filter boxes on the left that let you narrow the search results, or something else? Is there somewhere else you think these would be better placed?

The Community search was internally designed as "What's New", but we thought community might be a better phrase -- the description can easily change. 'Any Type' community searches right now will provide the most results, but as people upgrade to the beta (and ultimately the 4.0 release), all searches will provide the same results. This is because 3.9+ includes a server-side change that tells people to only return files of the correct media type.

I also noticed some oddities with the window header showing disconnected for a bit longer than expected (it should only have a second lag at most, but it seems to be a bit longer sometimes). We'll look into what could be going on there.

The beta does include some changes that may help with the connection problems, although I don't think we're quite ready to start telling normal users to download the beta. Perhaps as we get closer to the final release.

As far as returning to a search from the filter boxes -- I'm personally a big fan of the text box, if only because after I perform one search, I generally want to perform another, and I like to start typing right away without having to click on anything. It is a process, though, to change the type of search ... we'll see if we can't find something to make that easier.

We're most likely going to provide an option that lets Pro users see the magnetmix link, but it will be off by default. Lots of Pro users complained, thinking that the button was an "ad" and they didn't want to see ads. Despite not all of us agreeing it was an ad, we listened and removed the button.

I'm sure Adam's lurking around somewhere, possibly reading these forums still.
