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.

I need you to back way up. Start with where do I find this advance setting tab? I tried Tools, Internet Options, I didn't see it. I clicked on Frostwire, I didn't see it. I tried the link in step 3 of your post, I didn't see it.

I repeat and I am getting lost and frustrated. You say it's easy to follow the steps, maybe, but I need the first step to start.

Here is the 3 step process to finding the option in FrostWire:

Limewire 5.6.2(pirate edition) and java 1.7-frostwire-listening-port-option.gif

After you find the Firewall window option in FrostWire, Check the middle option for Port Forward in FrostWire. Then type in the port you wish to use. The Manual and listening ports should be the same in FrostWire. And use this same port number for your router firewall.

When you do the firewall exception in your router-firewall, save the rule name as FrostWire. You could do a separate rule for LimeWire also but it would need to be a different port number. For example, perhaps FrostWire use port 6346 and LimeWire 6348.

Default Need some help.

I tried to download LW again a few months ago, and I had a Runtime issues with it. I found a fix on here that worked, but I am now unable to find it again. The fix was to create a shortcut to the "jar" file which worked perfectly the first time. The issue is now this time I can't find the "jar" file when I tried to download LW this time. I am running windows 7 currently. Any help would be great!

Use the Add/Remove Control Panel and remove the fix. Then re-install it. See if that works?

It will only work with LW 5 versions, not LW 4 which btw is unaffected by the equivalent java issue.

The LimeStart program looks in the standard programs folder to find LW and the jar file to open it. If it is not located there then there will be an issue.

I guess I should have mentioned that I had LW installed on another computer at the time, and I am trying to install it on my other computer. I downloaded LW from TPB but sadly none of them seem to work for me. The last fix was easy, and it worked fine for me. Last time I was able to just use the fix and it was fine. I looked in the "lib" file when I downloaded it this time like another person recommended to do, but it was not there. It's like there are no program files in the download like there was last time. Is there a place I can get a working copy like LW 4 that won't require a fix? Maybe it's just my lack of understanding how this all works that's the issue.

If you wish to look at other versions then see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/340213-post427.html
If My Files does not work for you then look at the link above for a LW 4 version. I made a couple of minor changes to the shortcuts a few weeks ago which should not affect LimeStart's abilities. The link I gave is a non-updated link, so should be as good as a month or so ago.
