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.

Pro updates last for 6 months. After that, your email will be removed from their database. If not, then check your original email you received from customer support. It will have a link to your personal downld page. Next time bookmark your personal downld page. Also be sure you actually got LW Pro from the official site. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1

I too am trying to upgrade but the Limewire site won't recognize my e-mail address. I checked my credit card receipts and I signed up for LimeWire Pro (via the Limewire web site) on June 18, 2005. I am still in the 6-month period.

The problem is, I cannot send an e-mail about my problem to Limewire saying that the site won't recognize my e-mail address until I sign in using my e-mail address. A catch-22 indeed.

I still have the Limewire installer but it's for the version I have, not the upgrade.

I have searched my saved e-mails for a receipt from Limewire but cannot find one (which is odd as I usually save everything).

It's also odd that there is not an "upgrade now" button in a pull down menu in the program. It seems that the program shoudl know if you're still elegible for upgrades or not.

So you paid US $18.88 for your LW? Check your credit co. receipt carefully, was it really from Limewire. Open up LW, go to the LW menu bar & have a look under the Help menu >About Limewire, does this say LW Pro?

Yes, I paid Limewire for that exact amount. I've been using (and paying for) Limewire for quite a long time now so I know it was the real thing. I have not had problems before with Limewire so I am surprised that my e-mail address does not work. I am beginning to wonder if somehow I mistyped my address (I cannot remember if you have to download from the e-mail or you go directly to the download link. I was (and am still) able to download and install the last version, and yes, it's Limewire Pro, but I cannot get access to the Limewire Pro download or tech help because it won't recogmize my password. Any thoughts on how to get this info to Limewire (without having to enter my e-mail address)?

If you noticed I said the Limewire site does not recognize my e-mail address therefore I cannot just enter my e-mail address and follow the links.

I did read your post. Did you get the issue resolved? It sounds like you followed the links from the e-mail sent (however, I cannot find the e-mail sent to me).

I had a moment of hope when I noticed this on the Limewire website: "

If you have multiple emails try them all, one by one. If you still can't remember, fill out this form."

Unfortunalty it just takes you to the same purchase page that anyone gets sent to to buy the program. I have already purchased it. I thought there'd be a form requesting the info be resent to me. I am not sure why this link is even here except as a cruel joke......okay, now I', getting whiney...
