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. |

 Which p2p client are you 2 involved in. I'm not sure what your issue has to do with General P2P Network Discussion . It sounds more like a Tips & Tricks section issue. Thus I will move it there. |

| before u go any further see this warning which i believe applies to wmv as well as wma files. that said please note my post in that same thread. still want your videos? here goes......if u dare! the "License Acquisition" takes awhile even on fast connection (but my hardware's slow) don't know why but usally no complaint from my security apps. some may send ur browser window to their site for "free trail" or buy "membership" (?porn vids maybe?) i have opted out of all and still got to watch vid...go figure! if your security is too tight this process will never even get started...too loose and u get flooded with spyware. i use a lot of "ask me" and "notify me" settings in my security to get what i want and still keep out the bad stuff but u have to know and understand "what's what". moral here is that u either "invest" money for ur tunes/vids or u "invest" time to learn about security, protocols, ports, formats, ect...ect...ect... or u pay later to ur tech when uv buggered everything up...lol. many vids still won't work but we're not done yet.... now we have to learn about "CODECS" (?media compression??) i'm just getting started on this subject myself so forgive my errors and SEARCH/READ around for more info...still i think i know this much: codecs are a lot of different "compression" methods used on media that do not change the "format"/extention of the file (unlike our mp3s,zips,rars,ect...) they still look like wma/wmvs (and other player formats as well) but ur player can't read the file untill u install the proper codec on ur system. bad part is i have never seen a player inform the user of this much less tell us which codec is needed!!!!! i learned all this when i "trippped" over a DivX link by accident recently...after installing it 3/4 of my unuseable/"corrupt" vids now work fine! no i wont find/paste a link to DivX here run ur own SEARCH!!! but it does seem to be most common codec needed. also i recently found/dl from gnutella/limewire some zips rars claiming to have ALL (yeh right) codecs but havent had time to investigate them yet so dl/unzip/install these at ur own risk! now that u know almost as much as me (YOU WISH!) on this subject have fun and happy viewing! |

| Nice advice! Another is to get a backup player like DivX player & also VLC which has built in codecs & is free & plays all but the odd wmv generic file: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (choose nearest mirror site) Perhaps also see this: Setting Default video app |
