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 Movie Problem!!!!!!!

Every single movie that i have in my shared folder is now corrupt. All of them play in BLACK AND WHITE there is NO COLOR but i can still see the images and there is still audio. I know that it is still able to play in color because when i pause it in Windows Media Player then minimize it and maximize it again everything is in color while it is paused but when i hit play again it goes back to black and white.

A more plausible plot would be your WMP getting corrupt instead of all your movie files.

i just downloaded two new movies and they again come out as black and white, i know that my computer can play these in color and the files themselves arent corrupt, becuase when i start the first move it plays in color for a bit but hten goes back to black and white.
And also as mentioned before if i pause, minimize and maximize again the image that is in pause is in full color but if i hit play it goes back to black and white......

Have you tried other movies you have outside your shared folder, eg: any you might have on disk or sample movies that were included with WMP.
Some people encode movies using very low quality settings or with poor quality encoders (also a small chance that the software used to encode doesn't give 100% compatibility with your media players on your platform-it's a playback issue after all. Also most net movies have been downward converted so there's a major loss of quality!) If you really think it's your dwnld software that's at fault, you could try something dramatic such as uninstalling it (trash the preferences) & reinstalling. If there's still no light at the end of the tunnel after that, then check your system with utility & virus diagnostic apps to check that your system files/apps don't have any corruptions. Actually, do the latter before attempting any uninstal. What is your OS version & when did you 1st notice this problem happening?

I downloaded all these movies a long time ago and were working properly. This problem has started occuring since last week. My OS is Windows ME.

I'm not especially familiar with Windows ME but I know in XP (according to my brother, & another thread) you can backdate the system's prefs to restore how things were at that time. I'll have to get back to you (fundamentally I'm a Mac person - this might be out of my depth - I've never owned a pc, although I've taken one apart & rebuilt it from scratch as part of a uni course, it had nothing to do with softw troubleshooting.) Obviously you don't think much of the other suggestions, but ...have you tried any other movies with your media players as I suggested? At least make sure there's nothing corrupted in the apps or their prefs for your media players or sys. I guess we should ascertain whether this is a LW issue or not! It's certainly a mystery. Hopefully a more experienced pc person will add something.

If system restore doesnt work my guess would be to have a look at your graphic drivers.
Did you change anything there ?
Or are you using any graphic tweak programme ?
I once had strange video problems when I installed new drivers over the old ones.
Download the latest from your graphic card manufactor Uninstall the old one and install the latest .
