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 Problems Installing version 4.8.1

Hi all,
Maybe I'm not posting in the right place, if so my apologies, first time user...
Been a happy user of Limewire for the last 3 years at least...
Recently, I upgraded to version 4.8.1 and all was well for about a week.
Yesterday, I couldn't launch Limewire (bouncing Icon then disapearing). I'm on an iMac OS X 10.3.8... Tried different diagnostics/repairs to no avail. Rest of my computer works fine...
So I deleted all pertaining to Limewire except my shared file that I put in another file.
Re-downloaded and re-installed Limewire. The installer reported that all was OK, but it's not since I still have the bouncing icon 8 -10 times then nothing...
Have deleted/re-installed 5 times but still no-go...
Anyone with similar problems or ideas for solution?
Is there a known problem with the downloaded package?

If you had have gone to the OSX section of the LW section you would have seen a Sticky with solutions to your problem. See icon bouncing in Dock (click on link)

Hi Lord of the rings,

I did find the related thread but I do have the BSD installed and I did follow the suggestions to change the faulty line in the plist file but it was already OK (string Limewire string). Did not find anything with prelude...
I also have Java 1.4.2 version 2 installed as I saw that the Java version could be causing problems.

Recently, I found this in console.log. Looks like a Virtual Memory problem. I do have some problems with bad RAM. Maybe this is the cause. Will look further into that.
If there's any other suggestions, thanks in advance !!!

Default no luck...

Hi again,
Well, no luck...
As per list:
-1, updated to Java 1.4.2v2 but was already there.
-2, Disk Warriored, repaired disk with install CD, repaired permissions and ran fsck...
-3, uninstalled/re-installed: no-go
-4, installed LW Beta: no-go
-5, won't install in new user or no-go also
-6, installed LW 4.8.0: no-go
-7, For now, re-installing OSX is not an option as all other applications work seemingly normally... Howerver, I'm starting to suspect an ill Installer but I can't find a standalone version at Apple to replace mine... Will search this further.
-8, JUM version : no-go...

Maybe other suggestions from you guys...
Thanks

Tried it. I trashed the Java142Update2.pkg and downloaded the standalone from Apple but still got an already installed message.
I didn't empty the trash though while doing the Java install... Would that be of consequence?
On another note, I got a kind of opened orange box as icon instead of your icon for Java142Update2.pkg...Same difference ??

In list mode it looks very different than when viewing it in icon mode which can happen with many icons.

Heard of this before but can't remember of find the post that deals with it. Perhaps wait for Stief or et voilà or someone else to arrive.

I guess you could try to reboot before reinstalling.
