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. |

 Cannot Install on iMac OS9.2.1 help me please!!!! Hello lovely Limewire people I have an iMac running on the OS 9.2.1 system. I've recently had to re-install all the software on this computer though, due to a problem with my hardrive. Anyway, everything re-installed perfectly, with the exception of; yes, you've guessed it, Limewire. So...here's what happens. 1. I download the software from your website 2. I click on the Limewire Installer icon 3. The 'Trash' can immediately is filled with the 'Install Anywhere' and two different numbered 'delete' files. 4. Limewire clock appears, and language choice etc. 5. List of questions start. Where to install, create alias on desktop please, etc. etc. all this is fine. 6. I click on 'Install' and more or less straight away - half a centimetre of blue time line appears on the timeline - and the installation crashes. The entire computer freezes and I have to start again. What, if anything, am I doing wrong and ps, I'm not a computer literate person (so guess that doesn't help, but please do bear this in mind when explaining) Please help me, I'm so god damn bored with no Limewire cheers Greg.  |

| Okay, I tried this and here is what happened: 1. I tried reinstalling java at the address supplied. There was a messge at download completion that read 'The ShrinkWrap engine has reported an error'. However, java seemed to reinstall properly and without problems. 2. In the Extension Manager, I reverted back to "OS 9.2.2. base" instead of 'my settings', restarted the iMac and then reinstalled LimeWire. This time the application seemed to install properly and saved an alias on the desktop (square with green plug icon). I clicked on this to open LimeWire and during the start-up the following message flashed up; 'Your save directory is not valid. It may have been deleted, you may not have permissions to write to it, or there may be another problem. Please choose a different directory'. So I tried: Saving on different areas of the hard drive - preferences, Mac OS 9 applications, system folder. Each time, the same 'save directory' message kept flashing up. Then I went back to the Extensions manager and reverted to "OS 9.2.2. all" and started all over again, but still the same 'save directory' message came back. What should I do now? I'm not really an expert but reckon something has changed since my hard drive was re-installed. Can you help me? Greg |

| I wouldn't rely on Shrinkwrap nowadays. I don't think it's been updated for a few years (I might be wrong.) Did u rebuild your desktop when u restarted you mac. Not a bad thing to do after installing new software. If the problem persists, try deleting the LW prefs (.limewire), & then open LW & reset your options for saving, etc. If still probs, run mac's Disk 1st Aid & any 3rd party utilities you might have (eg-Norton Disk Doctor, TechTool Pro, Disk Warrior, etc.) Do u have any form of security system on your comp.? |

 Okay Upon running the programme, have now tried 'saving' Limewire in one of the other directories offered up by the 'save directory' query. Now Limewire seems to run, but only as far as 'Upgrade to LimeWire Pro' option, whereupon it quits. Tried running the programme again. Same thing happening - quits everytime I get to 'Upgrade to LimeWire Pro' message. Any ideas? |

| You might want to make sure you have the latest version Java. The latest version for Mac OS 9.2x is 2.2.5. You can download the latest version at Apple's website from the following link: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75097> I hope this helps solve your problem. |

| hi again gregb spearson knows OS 9.2 better, but since you've already done the java and extensions steps, I'd guess the next would be to look at memory allocation. How much RAM do you have, and how much is allocated to LimeWire? (click on the LimeWire application icon, and use "Get Info"). See what poster callahan has to say about memory in this thread http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...8221#post98221 |
