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.

Question Sam: LW 4.6?

Why is 4.6 released so soon? What is significant enough to up version to 4.6 instead of 4.4.6? Is the "reduced message propagation delay to 0ms" (the only core change) a big change? In what way?

Many questions to answer... But anyway, an update to the best filesharing client is always welcomed!

Merci beaucoup

4.6.0 (02.22.2005)
---
- Reduced message propogation delay to 0ms.
- Cleaned up borders around selections on lists and borders on OSX.
Thanks to Roger Kapsi for contributing this.
- Added a border around the entire row of a selection on non OSX systems.
- Fixed the 'speed' column in uploads & downloads to sort correctly.
Thanks to Erik Meade for contributing this.
- Fixed so that selecting empty space in a table deselects the current selection.
Thanks to Roger Kapsi for contributing this.
- Removed file-view functionality.

The big change is removing the file-view functionality. There was a flaw with it.

speaking of file view--generating magnet links still works. With fileview functionality removed, could we select multiple files to generate a single page of multiple magnet links as an alternative?

et merci for the changelog et voilà

and for the record . . . the download of the "4.6.0 Beta" (from my previously bookmarked beta page) correctly turned out to be the 4.6.0 Pro.

(btw Sam IIRC you're coming up on your 2nd year as a LW dev. Hope it's still rewarding )

edit: doh! Multiple file selection is already implemented for magnets.

Two possible bugs: thanks to et voilà for even more info

1) generating a magnet link for a japanese file didn't work in Safari (the file name is shown as a bunch of ? marks). I tried various ways of setting Safari encoding to UTF-8, as Roger suggested, but LWseems to generate the filename in Latin.

2) The name copies and pastes the japanese characters correctly within LimeWire and from the Finder to the LimeWire search box, but the backspace key and text-edit cursor seem to be off by several spaces.

(shows in CVS Feb 18 and 4.6.0 on OS X 10.3.8 with the latest Security update)

I'm trying to check out swarming, and something seems wrong--swarmed uploads are really down on my machine. Prefs look OK . . .

For example, I'm currently checking with a 498MB .mpg from the "What's New" search (did a search then to get even more sources). It has plenty of sources--670; 25 valid; 208 invalid), but in 2 1/2 hours, I've only seen 5 chunks completed in the Monitor pane. This seems really low.

Is anyone else seeing this? I started noticing this a few weeks, but just wrote it off to coincidence.

[edit: you want this thread for posting the 4.6 oddities Sam, or would you prefer a new thread for each issue?]
