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.

Default just stupid I guess

If I wasn't 87 y/o I could probably figure this out and my 8 y/o neighbors kid has run away.
I came on today (love the limewire) found a song I wanted to put on my mp3 player, got it down loaded and I had my mp3 hooked into my cpu while I was downloading and thought it was going on the mp3 BUT, I cant find it on my player.
The song is sitting in the Library tab. Now how do I get in loaded into the mp3 player..? ?
thanks for any help.
mr grumpy

In LW's library click on Saved Files then click Explore...your saved folder will open up for you. Try adding from this folder to your mp3 player (you might be able to just drag & drop)

thanks a lot I got.
another question. Is there no way to load directly from LW into my mp3 player? I got it loaded by opening the windows media player and draging it into the column to sink....

there may be no way to load from LW directly...

many thanks.

If you mean when a file's downloading, have it download directly into your player...no, not AFAIK. Things will download to your saved folder (to check it's location in LW go tools > options > saving) & you'll have to add to devices from there.

You could try dragging the file from the LW library into your player...this may or may not work but give it a try.

Or, if you're using WMP, you could add to WMP by monitoring folders. Then, as you download from LW files will be automatically added to WMP & then you could add to your player from there...it would be pretty simple that way.
Within WMP click on Media Library, then click on the Add button, choose 'by monitoring folders'. When you get the popup box, click Add. Now browse your computer & find your saved folder (by default it's C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Shared) & click ok.
Sorry if you already knew how to do this!

Try dragging from the library first, see how it goes.
Let us know if things aren't working

Plug your mp3 in, then open My Computer. You'll see your mp3 player as a removable disk. Now open LW & go to your library page. Put your cursor on the left hand edge of the page & drag it across to the right...now you should have both the pages visible, beside each other. Now you can drag from the library page into your player (hope I've explained this ok & not made things worse).

You can't plug your player in & have it show up in LW.
