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.

Cool

Hello!

Just create a new shared folder for saving and sharing files. Name it Shared2 and place it on the root level on your HD. And all should be fine again.

This problem with LW suddenly not accepting a particular directory sure is a strange one and both the Macintosh and Windows versions are affected by it. There seems not to be any other solution then to just change the directory.

Hi,

I had the same problem with my shared folder being changed to "default" by Limewire after upgrading.

Try completely "uninstalling" all previous versions of Limewire prior to installing the newest upgrade. Using the "install wizard" choose the folder you want to save to and share from. It seems to have worked for me so far.

i have had similar probs in the past and can offer this advice

make sure you do not have 2 or 3 shared folders(can happen after up******* re-installation , as this can cause confusion nb they may not be in your system folder, try your documents folder

toss your limewire prefs, your shared folder(minus files) and your incomplete folder(minus any downloads you wish to keep)
empty the trash ,do a restart then start up limewire it will create new folders in your preferences folder
you will have to reconfigure limewire but that isn't a lot

finally shut limewire down and put any files shared or incomplete files in their respective folders

hope this helps

Question ALSO HAVE SIMULAR PROBLEM

I just download this. I've had Shareaza a couple of weeks and kazaa (abandoned btw)for a few months. I tried to use my old kazaa folder for this to upload from, but it would'nt accept it.so, what you're saying is I have to move it to the first window in the hard drive? I've got 8GB of stuff in there it would take long time to move. So, I'llwait until I get a reply saying this is the right thing to do before I move it.
I figure I can use this program for software and Shareaza for music. Not at the same time, I guess.
The Shareaza forum needs that search field like this one has. I imagine they will have it soon. I'm rambling now. Thanks in advance!!


P.S. How big can your avatar be in demintions and kb?

I also have no real problems connecting and staying connected...of course there is the problem of getting a download slot, but that's a different fish...
.........LW isn't recognizing my file because SHAREAZA allready hahed them. no biggie I was just tring to satisfy a liittle curiousity that's all.
BTW: I ran into a couple of reviews of SHAREAZA. They basically said it was the best thing since sliced bread. 1.9 is the lastest version. I wish I could have used this one to see for myself.
