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.

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. |

 I am sorry i did pay $21.95. i was up grading a game i have, that was 6 weeks ago , it cost $14.99. I got Limewire Pro from the official website. i tried to see if it was java and download the latest version, nothing. i even disabled BitDefender Antivirus-Antispyware and Windows Fire wall, still nothing. I had LimeWire working with no problems, didn't have to disable anything. I tried everything that is conceivable except throwing the computer out the window. I have to be at work by 7am, but be home by 4:15pm.  |

 Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am perplexed..., I tried every suggestion that had been posted. so, I uninstalled and reinstalled 2X's, i uninstalled Java JRE and installed an earlier version..., nothing. I uninstalled LWPRO and reinstalled it., (everytime i uninstall & reinstall, i always reboot my computer). So, I uninstall the earlier version of JAVA JRE and installed an updated version JAVA JRE. Still no connection, disconnect Firewall, nothing. I have a feeling this is a scam. I am suppose to get 6 months of tech support, but when i wrote to tech support to tell them the problem a few weeks ago, i got no reply back. I am fed up with LMPRO, so, I uninstalled it and don't want to bother ever again. I am sorry that i wasted my money on this. |

YAHOOO I am back online  Thanks to Birdy. I give you the clap. LOL If I can back on Limewire YOU can too. Print out these directions and follow them! Goooooood luck.  THANK YOU BIRDY1. Make sure that LW is closed properly by opening task manager (ctrl/alt/del) & see if there's a LW process running. If there is, end that process. 2. Go to Control Panel, double click on Folder Options & then click on the View tab. Make sure there's a dot in the radio button next to 'Show hidden files and folders' then click Apply & click OK. 3. Now go to Start > click on My Computer > double click on C drive > double click on the folder with your username. Once you're in the 'your username' folder, look for a folder named .limewire & if you have a folder named .limewire, delete that whole folder. If you don't have a folder named .limewire then that's ok. Close all windows that you have open. 4. Go back to Start > click on My Computer > double click on C drive > double click on Documents and Settings > double click on the folder with your username > double click on Application Data. Once you're in the Application Data, look for a folder named LimeWire (there's no dot in front of this one & the letters aren't all lower case). Delete that whole folder named LimeWire. Close all windows that you have open. 5. Restart your computer. This isn't always necessary, but just to be on the safe side...do it now anyway. 6. Start up LW & see whether it will connect. If LW connects, you're all done & you can go back through tools > options & set everything there to the way you like it. 7. If LW still isn't connecting after about 10 minutes, close LW & check in task manager to make sure that it's properly closed. Click on this link zSHARE - gnutella.net That will take you to a file hosting site, where you can download a file named gnutella.net...download this file & save it to your computer. Remember where you saved the file to. 8. Go back to Start > My computer > C drive > Application Data. find the folder named LimeWire & double click on this LimeWire folder to open it. This is the folder that you deleted previously....when LW is started, a new LimeWire folder is created. Once you're inside the LimeWire folder, look for a file named gnutella.net (or it might be named gnutella). Once you've found the file named gnutella.net (or gnutella), delete that file. Don't close any windows, just leave the folder that you're in open. 9. Now find the gnutella.net file that you just downloaded. Copy that & paste it into that LimeWire folder that you have open. You deleted the old gnutella.net file & now you're replacing it with another one. When you've pasted the gnutella.net file into the folder, close all windows that you have open. 10. Restart your computer & then start LW. Last edited by birdy; November 23rd, 2007 at 09:20 PM. Reason: fixing mistake |

| I have Windows XP, limewie version 4.12.11, java versions in my add/remove prgrams fodler include J2SE 5.0 update 10, update 11, update 5, update 6, update 8, update 9, Java runtime SE 1.4.a_03 and Java access bridge, JAva update 3. I have DSl modem,, ISP is ATT, test worked, do I delte all teh JAVA's excpet the update 11 or delete everythign that says Java and reinstall the update 11? I have limewire pro, paid for it, if I delete it do I have to pay for it all over again? So an offline installer means save it to my computer and then install later, correct? Downloaded the gutnella file for when I am ready to go through this whole thing. I am confused mostly by the Java since it seems I have so many updates...not sure what I need or if I can delete some or all. |
