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.

LimeWire makes the maximum height 40 pixels smaller than the height of your screen, in case there's a dock or something at the bottom (as there is on Windows & OSX by default). Very unfortunately, there's no way for us to figure out where the dock is, or get the screen size without the dock.

You can, however, make LimeWire larger by manually dragging it. The catch is that next time LimeWire is started, it'll size itself somewhat smaller.

SBerlin: There's some programs that memorise windows settings. Could this potentially be the same for LW in the future? Some people have also commented about how column settings widths (I think), & window partition sizes always revert to default everytime LW is re-opened. Whereas some people like to customise these to suit their particular use. (I'm guessing this would be easier to do on OSX than windows.)

You misread my post, LOTR. LimeWire does memorize the settings. It just enforces that whatever it sizes LimeWire as on startup will fit on your screen (because resolutions can change, etc..), which is why it is 40 pixels smaller on startup (if it was fully maximized on shutdown). That said, we were pointed to a way to get the correct size of the screen (in dimensions that exclude the dock/taskbar), so future versions of LimeWire won't have this flaw.

FYI, table column visibility, width, order, etc.. should all be remembered already.

I apologise there. You're are absolutely right. For some reason I was under the same impressions as they who remarked about this. Well ... this is certainly true for OSX.

I think what I thought I noticed (& could be wrong) is that if I increased the vertical size of the window partitions (eg: the download list or the search results) then next time I opened LW it wouldn't be the same but seemed to be more of a default setting (same as before I changed it.) I'll need to trial this out before I put my foot in it/tongue in the wrong place.

Give me half an hour or two & I'll check out my windows.

It was consistent with windows LW!

Thumbs up Screen Size

To the Guys at LW

I have just downloaded and installed LW Pro 4.4.4 and, for the very first time since I started to use LW last year, it fits perfectly on my screen. I can now see the LW media player buttons and the connection "Quality" monitor without resizing LW or my system tray.

I am sure that there are other great things under the hood but visually this improvement has done it for me .

Looking forward to the next great update.





UK Bob
