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. |

 suddenly, I can no longer point to my music directory to save files I have been pointing to my music directory where I keep all my music (c:\My Music) even w/ the most recent version of Pro (2.4.4), then suddenly, 2 days or so ago, Limewire switched itself to the limewire shared directory & will NOT let me point back to this folder saying it's in an invalid directory for saving files I should choose another or use the default. It was working fine before, don't know why it's suddenly invalid. Must have download about 1000 files this way....maybe 50 or so w/ the newest version before it seems to have changed itself.... What happened? How can I get it to point back? I don't want to move all my files to another directory as I point to this directory w/other programs & it's be a lot of other changes I'd have to make as well.... Thanks!  |

 I've no idea what the problem might be but... It is possible you have some file system corruption - try doing a checkdisk or scandisk or whatever its called on your version of windows (a thorough check may need you to reboot your computer). Mark |

| Nope, that's not it as it will let me create another folder C:\my_music & download there--the only difference being the underscore--it's like limewire updated itself & suddenly wouldn't recognize a file name w/ a space in it when it would before. All I did was change the icon & designate the folder as a music folder & then this one stopped working--but that's not the reason as I've changed the icon back & the other folder is also designated a music folder. Any other ideas? |

| The folder you're pointing to us probably flagged as Read Only. You'd need that clear that attribute. If this is a Windows machine, it would be better to put all the songs in a folder within My Documents rather than just under the root directory. |

 I have exactly the same problem in that for many versions of LimeWire Pro I have always had my downloads go to E:\My Music with nary a problem ever until version 2.65 or 2.7 (can' t seem to remember when this issue started) at which point my default save issues became the same as previously posted here. One observation though since I have no answers just more questions - 1. LimeWire Automatically creates a folder in my E: drive root calles "Incomplete" and no matter how many times I delete it the next time I start LimeWire it recreates it. This folder never has a file in it so why does it create this. 2. Further to that If I select as my save directory E:\My Music\Incomplete (not to be confused with E:\Incomplete) all of my downloads are successfully saved there. Go figure! This is a bug in the software not in my settings or permissions. Gratefull for any assistance for it is a pain to think that I have to attempt to modify all of my other proggies that use My Music to compensate for this. |

| The Incomplete folder holds files as they're being downloaded. Once the download is complete the file is moved into your destination file. So LimeWire must have that Incomplete folder available to do its job. No point in deleting it, as it will always come back. Don’t use the Incomplete folder as your download location. Use some other folder. Let LimeWire create and manage the temporary files in Incomplete on its own, and just forget that Incomplete even exists. Use E:\My Music or whatever as your download folder. |
