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 Keep Getting Message

I uninstalled LimeWire because of certain issues. I would turn the system off, only to have its icon on my toolbar reappear seconds later. Now the computer is giving me a message:

One or more necessary files appear to be invalid. This is generally caused by a corruptted installation. Please try downloading and installing LimeWire again.

I did that. Message keeps popping up. Now what?

Did you uninstall LW because it was popping up all the time & would not stay closed? If that was the case, you probably have a worm.

Try the easy fix mentioned at the end of point 2 here, it's worked for a lot of people.
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

If that doesn't help, there are links to help sites in point 5 of that thread.

Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan files that you've downloaded before you open them.

And if that is not why you uninstalled it then go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all versions of Java and LimeWire then click on the Java button at the top of my signature and use the manual link download the Java installer to you desk top using the offline installer. Now reboot you computer, now install java from your desktop then install LimeWire.

If you click on the link Birdy provided, you will see numbered topics. At the end of the second topic, you will see a solution (link) to 'Limewire popping up every few seconds' or something like that. Topic 5 has some helpful links for further cleansing of your computer (if you have one virus, chances are you have more, and probably spyware, too).

Good Luck

Dano

Did that. There is no extract all files command to the file. Now what?

Ok. > Download "Brute force Uninstaller" to Desktop
>To download http://www.merijn.org/files/bfu.zip
>Right click the "BFU folder" on your desktop, and choose "Extract All"
>Click "next"

There is no extract all files command. Are you using Winzip or WinRAR? I did get the ball-and-chain icon for BFU's program.

Went to Make New Folder. Named it BFU. Doesn't register as an option to make it a viable file for Browsing.

There is not a click to next.

That's as far as I'm gotten. Help.

You can probably use either WinZip or WinRar. The point is, you want the files to be uncompressed. That is, you want to have access to those files without having to use either WinZip or WinRar when you reboot in Safe Mode.

Once you have uncompressed files, just put them into the BFU folder you created. I'm not sure what you mean by 'viable file for browsing'...I suspect that this may mean that the files are not in .zip or .rar form.

Hope this gets you a little closer to a solution

Default Icon Trouble

I turn off the LimeWire icon and it pops back up. The limewire site says that I have to talk to the management so my virus definitions can catch and destroy the worm "Alfreda" or something. What does this mean?

Why are so many files go to Connecting to Need More Sources? The downloads that work take forever to finish and is supported by one user. Am I doing something wrong? I don't think this is trouble from my side.
