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.

Darn, I thought we had licked this one... Could you go to the 'Bug Report' option, choose 'View Example' and copy the first few lines (everything up to the java.lang....) and paste them here? Thanks.

I don't think anything changed between 3.9.3 & 3.9.6 with regards to the Options... so if it was broke then, it's probably broke now (unless some miracle fixed it). We'll see if we can duplicate this behaviour to fix it.

Which theme were you using? (And does changing themes fix it?)

I was using Default, for Default and Classic, you can see the very very very top of the buttons ( You can see them in Images ) Windows Theme zooms everything and the buttons aren't ever in sight, Black Theme zooms out and I can see all the buttons.


Screenshots of those if you want.

Hi strodeath -- I tried to reproduce with the current version (on XP with Java 1.3.1_10) but was unable to. Did 3.9.7 fix the problem by chance? (If not, I'll see about making the window resizable and/or making the close button on the top left ask if you want to save.)

Could you provide the OS locale you use? (I mean the precise OS version and localization, for example Windows XP Home Thai Version). This is not visible in your bug report...

I know that a Thai version of Windows uses higher fonts by default at the same point size, because of the specific tall layout of Thai characters, even if the text displayed is only in English.
It would be interesting to have the full system properties reported by Java and displayed in the "Generate Bug Report" menu item.

Did you try also with the Windows theme?
Which theme are affected?

Some themes will work only on Windows with fonts made for the Latin, Greek or Cyrillic scripts, as they use Arial or Verdana.

Some themes are built with a reference to the internationalizable "Dialog" font which can display almost all modern scripts, usign a collection of fonts specific to your OS. Java expects to find a few core fonts installed on your system, as they are part of the standard instalaltion of this OS:
For example:
- "Arial, Times New Roman, Courrier New" for locales based on Latin/Greek/Cyrillic/Arabic,
- "David" for Hebrew
- "Symbol" in all locales
Java also provides its own "Lucida Sans Regular" font for better support of Thai.
If you have customized your "font.properties" files in "%JAVA_HOME%\lib", it may also produce such behavior, if this file is not customized properly.
Normally the JRE that is bundled with the International version of LimeWire should have the correct default settings for international fonts. However Java can use specialized versions of this file which are also stored in the "%JAVA_HOME%\lib" directory.

I really suspect that what you experiment is casued by improper installation of Windows core fonts on your system (may be these fonts are altered) or by bad editing of the "font.properties" file, which you could restore to its default by reinstalling Java.

Note finally that the JRE version 1.3.1 is now outdated by Sun and no longer supported (it is in the end of life cycle). Upgrading to Java 1.4 is recommanded.

LimeWire works also fine with the new JRE (most tests are performed today with this newer version, and LimeWire is also tested with the newly published Java 1.5 Beta1, which has an even better support for international scripts).

However Java 1.5 will use a new format for its "font.properties" file, which no longer depends on OS locales, but only on OS versions: there's one file for Windows 98, one for Me, one for NT/2000/XP, and these files are tuned to support all scripts simultaneously.


Hopes this helps.

Default Re: Preference Box Too Small

I have ALWAYS had to manually re-size the Tools/Options dialog box to see the Apply, OK and Cancel buttons in all LimeWire versions I have used on Mandrake Linux in the last two years. I am currently using Limewire 4.0.4 Pro on Mandrake 10.0 Official and I still have the problem.
