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.

Unhappy I can't hear the music I've downloaded

When I download a song from LW I try to play it in the LW player and in Real player which is my default player. The song that has been downloaded fron LW will not play on either player but other songs that I have downloaded from various places will play in Real Player so therefore I know that there is not a problem with the default player. I have also checked in the options for LW to make LW the default so that is not the problem either. I have also checked to be sure that Real Player ext.'s are all ticked off and they are. Can anyone provide me with any further suggestions!!!! Pleaze!!!! I'm losing it!!!!!

What operating system are you using.

Have you tried to enqueue the song, and play it that way.

Also make sure that you have the continous play box checked. There seems to be a bug, and if you don't have the continous play box checked, when you try and play it --- it won't.

Also what is the file format mp3, wma, m4a

Question

I am using Windows 98. Yes I already tried to enqueue the song and in the right hand corner beside the player where it says Lime Wire Media Player it turns blue and the song name goes through it yet i can still hear nothing. I have checked the continous play also and that is fine. The file type is mp3. Help!!!!!

Fabion: thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

I still haven't got it working yet so to anyone who may have any other suggestions it sure would be appreciated. Could it possibly be because i am running under windows 98 that this problem is occuring?

Yes there are corrupt files out there filled with silence. More about that in a moment. Just as a last check, if you want to, is to download QCD which will play all audio formats (built-in codecs) & is free. Get it here: http://www.quinnware.com/

As far as corrupt files go, see: T3 Spammers & corrupt files & make a note about file size V's bit-rate (quality)!!!

A couple of people have suggested fixes to those so called corrupt files. There's apparently at least 2 utility apps out there that can fix many. I don't know about all. See these: 1. video-fixer (fixes mp3's also) & 2. MP3RepairTool

Tell us how well they work!?

Lord of the Rings:

Thank You for your reply. I have downloaded the Quintessential Player and when I attempted to play the file that was downloaded from LM it gave me a message that went like this:

MMSYSTEM032 The specified format cannot be translated or supported. Use the Capabilities function to view supported formats.

So what I am attempting to do is to download a different song that is under a Cable/DSL subscriber and see if that works. I'm thinking maybe I tried previously to download from a T1 and this could possibly be the issue. If not I will proceed further with the other info you recommened and keep you posted. Thanks Again!!
Much appreciated.

For music T1 is hgenerally ok. It's some of the T3 sources that tend to be the problem. I emphasise the 'some' b/c not all T3 sources are loaded up with corrupt files. The others can be very valuable with regards to files available & downld speeds. But when it comes to new popular chart busting songs, then just be wary of T3 sources.
