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.

Question Turbo

Hi,
I`m new to this site, so I hope somebody can help me.
I installed Limewire onto my computer last year, and paid 10 pounds for the Turbo, to enable faster downloads. However, a couple of months ago, I had to send my PC away for service. This service included my whole hard drive being wiped clean, as it was totally clogged up. When I got it back, I had to reinstall various programs, including Limewire. It is now running on the normal programe, which I downloaded from CNET.com, but does that mean I have to pay 10 pounds again, for the Turbo, or is there an address, where I can contact Limewire, to point out this problem. I dont mean to be tightfisted, but I dont like to pay twice for the same thing.
I would appreciate any kind of ideas.
Many thanks,
Tony.

Not if you purchased it last year. LW Pro offers free updates for 6 months only. But the problem is ... LW is not called Turbo!!! And LW Pro is not offered through C.NET.com!!! You can find the free version there but certainly not LW Pro. You find it here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml
I'd hate to think you bought a scam version of LW.

Wink Re-Turbo

Thanks for your reply. Now that you`ve mentioned it, I think it was LW Pro, but the word turbo springs to mind. But, as you have pointed out, it is only for 6 months, so I am well past that time limit already, and will have to buy it again!
Once again, many thanks.
Tony.

If you want Pro yes. But you can always use the free version. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml
But if you buy pro you can always backup the installer onto an external device just in case something similar happens or you need to reformat for any reason.

Question RE-Turbo

Thanks. You seem to know a hell of a lot more than I do about these things. Maybe you could help me with something else. I have recently installed a DVD Rewriter, and although I can play DVDs on it, each time I download a movie from LW, and then click the "Burn" button, the drive then opens, and a message appears saying: Please insert a blank CD in CD Drive. Each time, I always make sure there is a new DVD in, but each time, I always get the same message. Because of this, I must watch my movies on the computer, from the Shared Files. I download movies because I am in Germany, and dont understand German TV, but would just like to watch them from my DVD player in comfort, instead of sitting at the PC. Any ideas where I`m going wrong?
Tony.

Default Burning software.

I have several. There are Windows Media Player, Nero, and Ashampoo. None of these work, when trying to burn movies. I can download music and put it onto CD, but that is all. Both drives were CD drives on the PC, and I changed one to a DVD drive.

I was almost going to say it a few mins after UKBob's post. The possibility is it's a firmware or software problem. You may need to check the home site for your burner to see if there's any firmware updates. And for software it's the same. Burner software needs to be updated to cater for new models of burners & their firmware abilities.

If I'm wrong, then it must have been a poorly installed & configured burner. The system not recognising that it's a dvd burner, not just a cd burner. Perhaps reinstall the drivers ...

Cool Firmware/Software

Hello again.
As I know virtually zero about computers, I must ask: how do I go about updating the firmware or software, and how do I reinstall the drivers? Do you mean the actual DVD drive?
Tony.

Well do you know which brand & model of dvd burner device you have? Knowing those 2 things are important. Then you can google the address of their site, go to their customer support section & look for firmware upgrades for your particular model.

The same applies to Nero. Check their site for updates for your version of Nero. AFAIK only Nero version 6 & 7 can burn to dvd's. Or perhaps also the later versions of Nero 5.
