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.

Angry Mouse over graphic issue with FW

Hi all first time here but i do have an issue can you help.

After reading the forum i can see the merit of having the
j2re SE v1.4.2_10 windows-i586-p

i found that all my probelms came when i update to


FrostWire 4.10.3 Beta

in saying that i was using the lastest version of java with the older version of frostwire i have updated FW then the trouble started with slow speed lag like you all know and kow i have some speed response back with an excellent connection but i have well you can see by my pic
the things are all there but not until i mouse over then do they appear very annoying


Is there anyone else having this probelm please look at me pic if you have this you will know i also am suspect about the new version it has agraphic of anew snowflake but i still have the ice cube as my .exe shortcut
What does it all mean????

Try changing your skin to see if that makes any difference. Which was your previous version of FW? If not work, then check out the following ideas.

Try deleting your FW preferences folder whilst FW is closed. How to delete your FrostWire Preferences folder

Other thoughts, see The way to fix the Blank screen on startup

What does it all mean? It looks like a Java issue. But it may be Java interacting with your graphic card or a java bug or ... FW interacting with a graphic card driver. If it's possible, change the resolution setting for your monitor & see if that makes any difference. You may need to re-open FrostWire for it to have an effect. ie: if your monitor is set to 600 x 800 then change it to something different, perhaps a larger setting. See if there's any difference.

Default Same problem with screen refresh/redraw

I'm having this same problem. When starting Frostwire the display is fine, but after minimizing/restoring it to/from the system tray the only thing that shows up is changing info (i.e. counters, percentages, etc...)

If I move the mouse over the tabs / menus they show up. When I select the between the tabs (i.e. "Search", "Monitor") the screen redraws and is readable.

I'm running the latest version of Java and the latest beta version of Frostwire.

Any help is appreciated.

Default my solution

what i did was this
hi hello there firstlt anyway,
i took everything off ok
then i reinstalled for the .34 version on Fw
then i let it look for jave ok did that
and then i went to the firewall exceptions in the security centre blah blah
i founds that i had a binary file java update 6 from the 1.5 version then i added a program to allow
which was picking Fw of course after that for me, it does work good
i do get no internet connection pop up sometimes abit
i think but it might be fixed in next release maybe you should not give up
plus dont forget to play with
the upload download sliders in the options ok buddy
to see where you pick up a better download rate and speed thankyou
thats all i did honest and it works good now
i think it just about getting to know something new and at free you can't beat that for a little hassle
thanks
Bye
Brad
