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 Downloading Limewire Pro

I'm curious to see if anyone out there has had this problem. I had Limewire Basic, and decided to upgrade to Pro. After I put in my email address, the screen comes up for me to choose my operating system, which is Windows XP. When I choose this I get the following message:

File Download - Security Warning
Name: LimeWire Win.1.2 DOD 17.efw
Type: UmxAttachmentFile, 6.99MB

I follow the instructions and nothing happens! I went so far as to uninstalling my basic version of Limewire and starting over by trying to download the Pro version. Still nothing! But if I choose to download Limewire Basic, I have no problems at all. I just don't understand why I can easily download the Basic version, but not the Pro version, for which I paid for.

Sytem Info:
OS: Windows_XP_home_edition

LW VERSION: 4.18.8

CONNECTION: CABLE

JAVA VERSION: I_dont_know

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you Perhaps have CA Antivirus Software Installed ??
If so, Try disabling the CA Firewall. D/L LW Pro and then Enable the Firewall.
Hope this Helps.

Talking Downloading Limewire Pro

Thanks Remoc! You were right! I do have CA Antivirus, and I disabled my firewall and was able to Download Limewire Pro without any problems. I'm glad it was a simple fix, once again thanks.

What happens if you save the file, rather than running it?

Try clearing your browser cache, or try using a different browser. Does that help?

Default Downloading Lime Pro

Although I have CA Security, what worked for me was to disable the firewall completely, download Limewire Pro, and enable the firewall again. Give it a try, I hope it works for you.

Exclamation Had to redo download - I'm unrecognised!

So there I was - I'd handed over the cash for Limeware PRO, feeling sure the extra service support was just what I needed. Yep, it was - but although I managed to download I couldn't play any music. I saw the Firewall sign was there so disabled my McAfee firewall. Still no good - the firewall sign remained.

OK, so let's head for plan B - uninstall everything Limeware and then turn off to then redownload. Did all that, then found that I had to put in again my email address. No good, never heard of me... 'Who are you?? Try another email address!' Fine, but I don't have one.

And yet, oddly enough I had at least 3 emails concerned with my recent and now, it seems, useless, purchase. Still, it passses an hour or two, I suppose...

Good luck everyone - I'm sure a fair few of you will need it!

And any advice from the Tech Support people (who I emailed - still no response) will be most welcome

For starters, none of the helpers here work for LW. We're volunteers who help out in our spare time... so you won't get a reply from LW's tech support here

When did you download Pro & did you download from Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

Do you have your CC statement for that time? Who appears as the vendor for your Pro payment? If you don't have your CC statement, did you get a receipt after buying Pro? If so, who is the receipt from?

After you buy Pro from the official site, you should recieve an email from LW with a link to your Pro personal download page. Do you have that email?
If you paid the official site for Pro, I don't know why you would get at least 3 emails about your purchase. Check your emails & tell us who those emails were sent by.

Where did you send your tech support email (which address)?

Which Pro did you buy (6 months worth of free updates & support for $21.95, 12 months of free updates & support for $34.95 or the one-off payment of $13.95 which has no free updates & no support)??
