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.

Default Limewire Please Help

When I download files they are not being saved as mp3 files and this has only started happening since I updated to 2.2 PRO (lots of people seem to be complaining that the program gets worse every time it's updated???)....Can someone reply to this thread and help? The subject is obviously getting a lot of attention among Mac users. Please, anyone with information on why files are suddenly being saved in unusual formats - let us know the deal. Thanks!

Default launching new files

okay, sometimes files have too many characters and if you shorten the name and attach ".mp3" to the file name you may experience success!

Lightbulb File Exchange

When I upgraded, all the mp3 downloads started showing up as realplayer files. This is not a good thing when you are using itunes for mp3 playback. I opened the File Exchange control panel and found mp3's they had all been changed to realplayer, I changed them to itunes and everything works as it did before. Give it a shot...

Default Found A Way!!!

I was one of those who could not burn files downloaded, but now life is better. I installed iTunes, which you can download for free from the Apple site. It can convert the files! It will allow you to burn them onto a CD. I had to go through a succession of system upgrades to enable me to use iTunes. It will only run with System 9.0 and will only burn CDs after you've upgraded to 9.2. I think that's right. Anyway, I emailed the system guy at Limewire, and he admitted that they've known about this problem for a while. They don't seem to be completley on top of some aspects of designing for the Mac platform. iTunes worked for me. One nice thing iTunes does, is that it allows you to set up different lists tunes. You can place the tunes in order, listen to them to make sure you like the selection, then burn the list to your CD. It doesn't seem to have a music seach and download function, so Limewire is still needed. I reverted to the older version of Limewire, too. Good luck!

Yeah I'm having the same problem. Only thing is I can't seem to even find the files that I have downloaded. Nothing is showing up in the library on Limewire, and the only thing I can find is what I downloaded that was incomplete. My shared files folder is completely empty. Another comment posted on here was right....Limewire gets worse as they upgrade it!
I'm also on a Mac. I can't launch any of the files I downloaded, and I can't even find them.

Try reinstalling LimeWire or try using the default Shared path, - check permissions, free space on your disk, etc. LimeWire files don't just vanish for no reason.

I've paid the nominal fee for pro and have had trouble downloading ever since. e.g., downloading several files, the first few will be recognized by quicktime mp3 or iTunes....... then, suddenly, they are idendentified as Real Player mp3 and nothing recognizes them.

AVI (starwars trailer) is also unopenable.

I would like to
A) set itunes as my defaut player
B) open all these files that I keep downloading
