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.

Having the same problem.
Have tried hitting it at several times of day, but nothing happens.
I generally use Opera 9, and more infrequently Firefox. Had Netscape for awhile, but it wasn't working good so I removed it.
My LimeWire is 4.12.6 on WinXP Pro SP2 running on Compaq Proliant ML370 G2 (a server altered to run as a PC, and everything else is ok) 1.266 GHz, 1536 MB RAM, HP NC3163 Fast Ethernet NIC, connected with Motorola SB5101 Cable Modem at 1500/400
Of course, IE is in here, but I truly dislike the program, so I almost never use it, except when visiting Microsoft's site as they will only allow IE.
Do I need to setup LimeWire somehow to let it know what browser to use?

Cool Rite-Click Bitzi Not Opening

I'm having the same Issue & I recall seeing this once before along time back in another version of LW(free)
(Rite-Click\Advanced\Look up with Bitzi)
My LW/Bitzi window has not worked for 2 days now.

I rely heavly on Bitzi to keep Me from D\L crap,but I am going to wait a while longer & continue to try to access Bitzi as directed by Sleepless.

However if I recall correctly the last time I had this Issue after a bit of searching I found I had to delete the Limewire folder located in C:\Doc's & Sett"s\ User Name.
Then re-launch LW & set the User's pref's from scratch.
Also for some reason I keep thinkng that I might of had to uninstall My Java & Re-install it.

These are just quess's So Please wait for someone more qualified tell me if I am correct in My recollection?
Or just exactly what are the steps to fix this Issue?
Thanx For any Consideration & Direction
Pointman

No fix just wanted to say this is also somehow browser related

I get much more succes with Firefox than IE. Haven't tried others to any extent so don't really have any other recommendations

BTW also had less problems accessing it after setting Static IP and preferred DNS servers on both router and PCs. Might just be a fluke though

Default Broken Rite-Click Bitzi, Browser Related ?

I agree it does seem like it's Browser related almost like the Pop Up/open feature of Bitzi/LW is being blocked by IE6

Default Limewire to blame?

Just for the heck of it, I tried another P2P-program (Morpheus) on the same computer and same browser, etc. Only change was the P2P-program in other words. I didn`t like the program much so it`s deleted now. It did have some advantages over Limewire, but the drawbacks was too big to rival LW.
Anyhow, it did Bitzi-lookup with ease. The search results came faster, and somewhat more than LW, but it didn`t mind the settings. I set it to max 6 simultaneous downloads, and still it tried downloading 16 files at once. Not good, as each file didn`t get any bandwidth to talk of. And when I had a hang-up, I had about 200+ files in download queue. Upon start-up it didn`t find one single file to download, and didn`t start them again.

Well, the point is, I think it`s something with the Limewire program that`s concerned when trying Bitzi-lookup. Otherwise it wouldn`t have worked with such ease in another program.

i think it was because i had either 2 browsers or the wrong browser running...

1. in start or control panel click on "set program access and defaults.
2. click on custom
3. choose default web browser.
4. ensure you have either internet explorer or try making sure only 1 is highlighted.

this then allowed my bitzi to work !!!! good luck.

Default Working

It's working now.

Upon reading your post I didn't think it had much significance as Opera had implanted itself as standard web-browser, but apparently it had the whole world of significance to the problem

This really dont have anything to do with your current problem (which Ihave been haveing problems with as well) OttifantSir. But you metioned your distain for Microsucks IE. I use firefox as well and have no trouble access Microsucks sites useing the IE tab extension for firefox. You can even run windows update with it. http://ietab.mozdev.org/
