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.

Scattered replies...

Re: Black Skin
We'll look into this. Note that the only themes updated right now are "Black", "Classic [old Default]", "Default [new]", "Default OSX", "LimeWire Pro", and "Windows". The others are all updated, but will be released on the website. We're contemplating adding a small message that informs the user they're running an out-of-date version of the theme, offering an upgrade.

Re: limewire.org
It's on the list of things to do... We're all very busy with the 4.0 release, trying to tie up loose ends and all that. Unfortunately, updating the .org site is not high on the list of required things for 4.0. It'll be done, though.

Re: arrows for multiple sources
Don't get too attached to these. The tree-ness of the search results is a major factor in the UI slowdown when results come pouring in. This is being looked at right now, with the goal in mind of fixing it before 4.0. (There _will_ still be a way to see the other sources, just not as easily.)

Re: Themes with the OSX menu bars
Only the "Default OSX Theme". Apple doesn't allow any way to make those menu bars on other themes.

Re: Slow UI after a day
Does this happen consistently? Try disabling Ultrapeer -- does it still get slow after a day? Not sure what could be causing this.

Re: Open Source Hall Of Fame
Perhaps.

[some more things I missed]

Re: New icons
There are known issues with the icons right now -- namely, they don't update when the state changes (like the download finishing or being killed). This is slotted to be fixed before 4.0.

Re: "Shareaza peer displays vendor as code when browsed"
Can you clarify? Not sure what this means.

Re: Greg's contributions.
You mean Greg Bildson? We're all hoping this UDP stuff will make it in. We'll see.

Re: Splash screen 2D
Which theme?

Thanks,
Sam

Thanks for the reply and info Sam

Ah--the arrows! That explains some 'gui freezes' when a results from a 3000 shares host is loading. I'd thought it was because of memory swapping (vocab?). It's good the arrow function will still be available (I use them to see who else is sharing one of the files shared by my other computer). btw--the power management looks to be working. A few quick checks now show ~10% CPU use here: I used to expect 50-70%.

re the icons (I like! Please have them also reflect the contents of an UNshared download folder). Also, attempting a download of a file already in my UNshared download folder creates a "red" file in the Incomplete folder despite cancelling the download via the proper dialog that pops up. I have to manually delete the 0KB file or it triggers the 'incomplete' icon on subsequent searches. btw--magnets don't trigger the " overwrite existing . . .?" message ( I have to delete it from my unshared download folder before I can download a test magnet).

--I do hope the open source credits/Hall of Fame gets to be a priority. None of my business, but since they eschew the fortune, they deserve the fame. [pompous analogy]Even paid coders deserve recognition, and they need a predictable payday. The changelogs are like screen credits after a movie--boring for many but much appreciated by those who care. Film stars need their annual Academy Awards?[/PA]

--the splash screen (Aubrey's?) is the new one that shows when LimeWire is starting up. It looks two-dimensional to me, much like the graphics I saw before monitor resolutions could handle thousands or millions of colours. Not important--just a passing impression.

--Yes--gbildson. I wondered at all his code entries. Saw words like COBS and UDP, which reminded me of the GDF. I idly speculated maybe LW was going to do like Vinnie and be able to flip a bit and allow 150,000 less or lots more leafs to connect. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/message/19579

--Double-clicked a Shareaza 1.8.9.17 incoming leaf (not peer--my mistake) which displayed in the vendor column of the search results as follows:

Again--thanks and congrats on this beta. I think et voilà is prophetic!

(I'm back to the official beta, and now NO acqx in connections)

Re: the gui slowdown
It doesn't matter that I'm UP or not while being UP might create the problem earlier... It happens when I've uploaded near 2 gigs so maybe a little more than 24 hours. Can this be caused by the virtual memory used? Yesterday when it was slow LW was using in process viewer 150MB of ram and 600MG of virtual memory. Can Stief can confirm the slow gui isssue or lots of mem usage? (It doesn't matter which them I'm using).

Edit: the weird caracters in vendor column, this also happens in search results and this happens for a variety of vendors (LW, BS, RAZA etc) I first reported this bug to Adam in the 3.7 beta series.

I agree, there seems to be some kind of memory leak somewhere. But I don't think it's directly related to the GUI slowdown.

I never saw those, - all I see is Xolox' strange vendor codes.

hi guys. I've seen various slowdowns, but usually figured they were user related (like browsing a host who shares >3k files; resolving a page of IP's in connections; screen redraw delay after monitor is waking up; or after switching among Admin users). Can someone propose a test we could run, or at least an "area" of focus?

et voilà--those memory use numbers sound like what I've usually seen--they aren't normal?

By GUI slowdowns I mean switching tabs (ie from search to monitor, etc). Options switching become slow, stats swithching too. BTW I'm now running UP with 85MG of ram, so I wonder why it should go up to 150MG over time if there is no memory leaks. Maybe my becoming old computer of 2000 is one factor for the GUI, but I think it is related either to a bug in LW or in the Apple implementation of java 1.4.2. If it is os x only, this is definitly Apple's fault.

Ciao

That skipping could be caused by many things...

Other apps demanding high processor time causing conflicts
Fragmented HDD
Sound card problems (NO matter how much it may have cost !!!)
etc.,etc. !

Yeah, the internal player is a CPU hog (comparitively to native players). It shouldn't be skipping on low bitrate files in general (which used to be the case). If you are using a lot of CPU though, the internal player will chug - we are actually trying to decrease the CPU usage of searching, it is WAY too high right now.
