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.

Unhappy Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk

Greetings one and all

When I try to delete a file in my Library, it says, "Unable to Delete the File. It may be in use by another application and when I try to delete the file on my PC I get the "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk"...

I have tried numerous solutions online from the Limewire and Microsoft Support Sites and have even googled the problem, but nothing is working and this little file with a byte size of zero is just sitting there, taunting me and I want it gone... PULEEEEEEEZE HELP ME!

It does not open with any program, by the way.... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

Thanx

Saliann7

Hi

Thanx for coming back to me....

The file has no extension and in the details information it just states: "025 - Bony Moronie" (which is the name of a song) and where it normally has MP3 Format Sound it just says "File" and nothing else and the date modified..

In properties, there is one only tab "General" and the information listed for the file is brief, namely: name of track, where it is located, type of file: file, and the byte size which is listed as 0 (zero)...

It does not have the normal WMP or RP icon next to it like other downloaded tracks either.... I have scanned for viruses etc., and it is clean.... It's just there, serving no purpose and messing with my head....

Do u think it has anything to do with the fact that the byte size is down as nil, maybe? It's definitely not being used by another application cause, there is nothing to use, if you know what I mean....?

Advance Thanx

Saliann x

I'll say at least generally when that happens it's due to the file being shared. ie: Shutdown LW & you should be able to delete the file. Rebooting will definitely do the job. Unless of course it's a virus in which case you'd need an anti virus program to delete it.

Sorry Lord of the Rings

Not always on a Windows Xp system

Sometimes you have to boot into safe mode to do it, but even that doesn't work sometimes, then you have to get a program that delets undeletable Files.

I thought it may have been a sharing violation, too, so closed everything down, actually un-installed LW and tried again... I have scanned for virus and it came back clean... there is no byte size in this file though, it is down as 0 (zero)....

I will keep trying and see if McAfee can delete it...

Thanx 4 coming back 2 me

Haven't tried rebooting in safe mode (huh) but will keep it a go after doing some research on what that is!!!! I am not a total dunce, really I'm not... failing that I will employ the program that deletes undeletable fies...

Thanx so much for helping out... Will give it a go
