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. |

 File Or Files Get Misplaced I realize I have and am sharing the old files in LW the thing is the first of one so far download file went to Individually Shared.. How can I move it to the Shared Library? Would any drag it to there do it, if it as it may be the case of a another Shared file Library of LW when I have successfully gotten LW to run... again.. Though the old files upload to the blank library took some time. Mystic  |

| When you are sharing some but not all files out of a particular folder, they show up in the Individually shared folder. Check your Saved files folder instead & see if it's listed there. Part of your problem 'might' be related to this If you updated LimeWire & cannot find your Downloads. Don't forget you can use the Explore button to open particular folders onto your desktop. You may wish to move some files across from old to new shared location.  You'd need to Refresh LW for it to fully see the status of the different files. |

| Two options I can think of. (1) Share files immediately (share finished downloads) option at bottom of Share option in Tools > Options > Sharing. (2) Add 'Shared' folder as a sharing folder. |

| Sharing Uploads/ Downloads Well I have the sharing folder that everyone is getting to.. and downloading is fine so everything is alright with the world. The thing is that the new downloads do go to saved folder and they are not useful until I share file.. I usually need to see if the file is legit that I downloaded.. or is it trash.. as I am a music savy person with knowledge of what an artist would or wouldn't have done. Like when someone posts that let's say the Rolling Stones are posted as them doing Paranoid .. you woule downright know that Black Sabbath is the song that you will get.. Anyway back to the point at hand is though what I have had to do in getting to my saved folder is opening my computer then user name folder.. to limewire then to saved... then drag files into shared.. I don't know if there is much of a better way to it then what LW will let me do..then say it can't find shared file if say the saved folder gets moved to desktop as folder or as a copy.. cause LW tells me it can't find folder unless it is in where it's at right now.

| Have you tried making your saved folder your shared folder? By that I mean make the location (within LW's tools > options > saving and tools > options > sharing) the same for both saved & shared files. What you can do in that case is download a file & then go to LW's library > Saved Files > right click on the file you've just downloaded > stop sharing file. Then open your saved folder & scan the file for viruses, check that it sounds ok & that you're happy to share it. Once you've done that, you can go back to the file within LW's library > right click > share file. IDK if it's going to be any more painless for you to do it this way |

| Thats exactly how we have ours and it keeps everything nicely in one Folder. Then I've made a shortcut to the Shared Folder on our Desktop so it's easily accessible. This is the only way I would have it set up.

| Hi Mystic, The only thing is with the way I have mine set up, there is NO Dragging and Dropping. After a download, I simply Open the Shared Folder from the Desktop. Right Click on the File and pick one of four or all of the Scanners that I use to Check the File and then I'm Done.

| File Misplacement Thanks... for the insight.. Though the files while are in the LW saved folder they wouldn't be in the shared.. so usually have to open the saved.. for the drag and drop to the shared on desktop.. and the filesif they show the are in RED they are not shared until I right click to save.. Mystic. |
