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. |

 Can't install LW on OSX I had Basic LW installed in my MAC OS X Version 10.4.5 and for some reason I can't open it anymore. I deleted LW and I tried to reinstall from LW site. After downloaded the file that I get is "LimeWireSoftOSX" when I double click I get a window that it says Alert QuickTime cannot open the file: "LimeWireSoftOSX". It is not a file that Quick Time understands (-248) Well I have share external hard drive with my other computers. I used my PC to download the LW file for OSX on my share drive then I opened the share drive on my MAC and copied that file to my local MAC hard drive. When I double click the file "LimeWireOSX.dmg" I get a pop up window saying: The following disk images failed to mount. LimeWireOSX.dmg is not recognized. Anyway. I tried both ways to download and install LW on my MAC and I can't get it to work. Any sugestions will be very appreciated. If you want you reply direct to my email: [email*** or I might get an email notification when you post here, I hope !! Thank you very much for your help Roberto Last edited by Lord of the Rings; February 25th, 2006 at 05:27 AM.  |

| That does not sound like the correct name of the LW file. Where did you get it? It sounds like you got yours from a scam site! If you paid for the free version then I'm sorry to hear that. Only get LW from the "Official" LW site here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml Downld it ONLY using Safari. Please in future check the forum Stickies at the top of each section. These have ready made answers for questions like yours. Please don't put your email addy in public posts; see Forum Rules (click here) |

| Thanks for your suggestions. That's the site I downloaded the free basic LW program. When I download it that's the file I get "LimeWireSoftOSX". I don't understand why I am getting this file. |

| I did and I got LimeWireSoftOSX I don't understand why I get this. I wish I could send you a print screen to show you. Is there something wrong with my MAC? I don't get it. When I use my PC to download the mac LW version I get the correct file but when I tried to open in with my MAC it doesn't recognize it. Very strange |

| I'll get one of the LW team to check it out. Can you tell me does the address change after you type it into the browser? Once you actually get to the downld page, can you tell us what address it actually says in your browser? Press downld & copy that address also. There seems to be something suspicious happening .. possibly sabotage. I wouldn't recommend a version that isn't truely LW's. Otherwise you don't know what adjustments such as spyware have been added. I'll post the installer to you myself if you'd like. But 1st I'd like to find out what's happening that you end up with a suspicious sounding file. |

| I was using Internet Explorer and that's why I was getting that file I used SAFARI and now it worked. That's strange. Why IE doesn't work for that? Now LW is working on my MAC Thanks Roberto |
