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. 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. |

 firefox troubleshooting When I open mozilla Firefox the computer screen freezes. This is not happening all the time but very frequently to my annoyance. When it happens, the bar at the bottom of the screen which carries, inter alia, the word START does not show up as the screen shows only a huge white blank page that occupies the whole width of the screen. My only option left is to click on Ctrl and Alt and Delete on keyboard to switch off the computer completely. Can anyone help plse? I use Windows XP. My usual thanks from a retired civil servant pensioner. Joe  |

| I think it was earlier in the year I looked through the FireFox site's release pages and bug reports. I believe there are still bugs with both of the most recent release versions of FireFox, especially the most recent. I do not have the most recent version and decided not to after reading their reports but that was a while ago now. I did not like everything about the version I have now as it were (I have v.5.) Updating is not always for the better it seems. It is my guess you have come across a bug with the most recent FireFox version, perhaps related to earlier Windows operating systems or perhaps even due to the version of Java you have combined with the mix. No idea. The symptoms you give are definitely an incompatibility of some kind. Video card or Java combined with FireFox. One suggestion might be to try to downgrade to the next down Firefox version. But that in itself may cause some headaches with support files. |

| Firefox Problem? Hi Joe Before I offer a possible solution to your problem I think you may have missed that you have posted your problem in the "Phex" part of the forum. This may not go down too well with the moderators, perhaps our postings will be moved to a more appropriate area. OK, I presume you have the latest version of Firefox which, I believe, is currently version 16.0.1. While I have stopped upgrading my Firefox at version 14.0.1, this is because I learned some time ago that not all upgrades are beneficial. You see, the thing to bear in mind is that as Microsoft is encouraging users to move from XP to windows 7 and start to roll out windows 8, likewise other application producers will start to move/position their software to take advantage of windows 8 and move away from XP. Therefore, unless a more technically minded forum member says otherwise, I believe that as more and more application producers start to upgrade their products XP users like you and I will find that those apps will bit by bit stop working with our O/S of choice. However, if you downgrade your Firefox from 16 back to 14 then your problem will/should vanish. This is the position I have taken with all my applications, with the exception of my anti-virus and firewall, because I want my applications to work for me and not surreptitiously force me to upgrade my hardware and O/S in order to keep churning my equipment and put money in the pockets of the big boys. Finally, I must also mention that upgrades also introduce new bugs, recently I had to downgrade my Opera browser from 12.xx back down to 11.64, which I now continually use. I try to stick to a version of software that hits, what I believe to be, that "sweet spot", i.e. between good functionality and operability.

| Firefox troubleshooting This is to thank you both for promptly trying to solve my Firefox problem. I note that Firefox updates can contain bugs, as you so well explain in detail. My current Firefox version is 16.0.1 and I am told (I quote) "Firefox is up to date" (Unquote). So, apparently all I can do is refuse any further updates from Firefox? Regards from the Middle Sea.
