Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Thumbs down Bearshare Pro Ripoff@@!

DO NOT BUY SHAREBEAR PRO! Folks, SAVE your money on this one! I paid my subscription and so far, NO logon/use available with my SHAREBEAR PRO program.

Going on 2 WEEKS now and STILL NO TECHNICAL HELP!

That REALLY SUCKS folks!

(PRO ran only once when I first registered, but in truth, I saw NO advantage at all ~ only the AD BANNERS were dropped. Could be there are other benifits of PRO, but as I said, it ran only once.)

Sure it was ONLY $9.95, but multiply that number by 100 other possible ripped-off users and that is a chunck of money!

*** BY THE WAY, SHAREBEAR MAKES IT VERY CLEAR THAT THERE ARE NO RUFUNDS FOR ANY REASON *** Now I wonder if FRAUD counts? I promise you this, if BEARSHARE fails to deliver all they promised for my money, I WILL demand credit from my credit card company.

I will post a copy of my CREDIT CARD FRAUD claim against BS here!

Rat-*******s!

Angry

"Vinnie', I am more than happy to receive my request(s) for support here in a open forum or anywhere in fact.

My BearShare Pro worked only once and that was just after I entered my credit card information. After closing Bear Share Pro, it never worked again.

Each time I start "PRO" I am messaged back that my "Site Key does not match the Site Code". There are no options that allow me to set Site Codes and hence, my Site Key, Site Code and Bear Share Pro is useless.

Now as far as I know, prosupport@bearshare.com IS my "Key Supplier" and if you don't answer my EMail, I can't get my new codes! I have no other "Site Codes" or "Site Keys".

How often will I need to get new codes anyway?!

Your instructions (in part) say, '...In order to use BearShare Pro, just run it and wait. Do NOT hit enter at the first splash screen that appears. Just let BearShare Pro run'.... Well Vinnie, it's now two weeks and PRO is still POO. If I start PRO and enter nothing, the License Configuration Window stays there forever ~ as far as I know.


NOT a happy camper.

Default try this...

Yeah, even I have had such a problem. As Im sure many people here will be quick to point out BS is my favorite client. Anyway, it appears that the protection method used by bearshare is quite picky. In fact even defragmenting my HD was screwing up my subscription. Sam pointed me here:

Thumbs down SHAREBEAR PRO RIPOFF!

Thank you for your www link, but as I said in another post, SHAREBEAR PRO still fails to Logon!

"Vinnie" never bothered to reply again and nethier had SHAREBEAR "support".

As far as I am concerned, SHAREBEAR has RIPPED ME OFF and has commited Credit Card fraud.

A company does NOT offer services for a price and then fail to deliver when that price is paid!

At this point I am forwarding all of my EMail requests and posts here (including the reply from "Vinnie") to the California Consumer Affairs and to TECH TV because TECH TV mentioned SHAREBEAR on a program recently and that is how I learned of them.

Companies like this REALLY suck!

BearShare may have problems but all client do. Nobody has a perfect client and all users have different opinions on what makes a good client.

Everyone should respect that just because they do not like a client does not mean everyone does not like that client.
