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. |

 Limewire loads but nothing happens when I click anything Hi, I'm new to this forum, I hope there's someone who can help me. When I open Limewire on my PC it opens and loads but nothing I click on will open (i.e, if I click to connect nothing happens, if I try to close the tips window nothing happens). I really don't know whats going on. I have sone a virus scan, spyware scan, everything I can think of. It was working perfectly just two days ago. Thanks for any advice or help. tellajoy  Windows XP ver 5.1 sp2 Limewire 4.12.6  |

| I read what you suggested but I cannot open tools in Limeware. As I mentioned nothing happens when I click on anything. This happened to me the first part of this week but I waited a couple of days and it fixed itself or either I did something I did not know would fix it. I did go to tools (in Internet browser)> internet options and added limewire to not block pop-ups but as mentioned I have not had problems like this until this week. I think I'll restart my computer and see if that helps. I appreciate any help some can give me. tellajoy |

| Thanks for your help LOTR. I'm a newbie so I ask that you be patient with my lack of knowledge in this area  . I looked in my programs and listed are the Java programs I have installed.J2SE Development Kit 5.0 Update 2 J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2 J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4 Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.1_02 Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.4.0_01 Java Web Start If I remove all of these Java programs, what effect will it have on my PC? I know other applications use Java. Also, what do you mean by "offline Java installer"? Where do I turn on show hidden folders? Thanks in advance for your help. tellajoy LimeWire 4.12.6 Windows XP, SP2 PS. I upgraded to 4.12.6 on 9-18-2006 and until now had been very pleased with the outcome. I also updated my firewall and antivirus recently but set them to allow limewire. I had used LW sucessfully after my virus and firewall update. Somehow nothing I click on in LW does anything now. |

My connection bars have only one green and four red at the bottom of the page, if thats a clue to anyone out there that can offer some advise. Thanks to anyone who helps me keep my sanity and pc in one piece!!!! |

| Well after reading lots of information here. This is what I tried and it did work. Thanks LOTR. I added Port 6349 to my McAfee Personal Firewall for both UDP and TCP. I then restarted my PC and was able to go again. I initially had planned to also add the 4226 patch but my anti-virus said there is a "potentially unknown problem" with the Tool EVid file. After much research on that I decided I might add it later if I have problems. I'll keep searching the forum for any additional tips. Thanks to all who helped. tellajoy |

| BTW you don't need all those Java versions. I'd remove all, then reinstall Java 1.5 By "Offline" installer I meant you download the installer which has all the data inside it so you're not installing the java over the internet which is what an online installer does. The offline instaler is about 16 MB in size. The reason for this is because installation problems can occur over the internet when information doesn't reach your computer in good time or there's some kind of data loss. Which would end up with a corrupt installation. An offline installation is much safer. When you go to the Java site, you will see an option for offline. Java 1.5 (take the JRE) which is about 4rth on the list. ie: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 8 |
