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 Where is the Lime slice

Why on the updated version 2.4, is the Lime slice gone and a pixelated plug showing on the dock instead?

Lightbulb I FOUND A SOLUTION!

Well, I actually made the solution.

I made a screenshot of the lime slice on this forum and used GraphicConverter to fix it up and make it transparent. I made it a TIFF file.

I tried to change the program icon by using copy and paste with "Get Info." But if didn't work. I guess LimeWire put a block on that.

But I hacked into the program.

Follow this steps:

Download the icon here. Just Control-Click:

http://home.earthlink.net/~jnrz0/LaunchAnywhere.icns

Then open your LimeWire folder, Control-Click the Limewire program.

Select "Show Package Content"

Open "Contents" folder, then "Resources" folder

Drag the file you just downloading into this folder.

It will say that you already have a file named this and if you wish to replace it. Say yes.

Now, log out of OS X and log back in. You should now have the icon.

Geez. All this for a freakin' icon!!?? Thanx LimeWire for all the work!

Default ugly icon

Unhappy

I don't know of an easier fix.

I just realized something.

The lime slice isn't transparent like it was supposed to be in the dock and there is a white box around it. Pretty ugly for the Dock, but it looks nice in the folder. Sorry.

HEY LIMEWIRE, PLEASE MAKE THE LIME SLICE ICON AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD PLEASE, OK?

Smile Got it!

Using your idea, I found out how to actually get the original slice back.


I figured it out. Follow these instructions and you will have your slice back...

First start up your latest version of Limewire. Then select programs to search for the "Limewire Pro 2.3.4 OS X" program.

After you download this program from the network, save it to your desktop. Then double click the new icon for 2.4.3 and the disc should mount automatically.

Next, double click the new icon recently mounted to your desktop. You will see the folder for Limewire. Double click this folder and look for the slice inside. Control click the slice and select "Show Package Content". Then open "Contents" folder, and then "Recources" folder.

Fiinally you will see the "LimeWire.icns" file. Drag this out of the folder and on to your desktop. Close out of all folders and open a new finder window.

Find your Limewire file in your applications folder and open it. Comntrol click the Limewire program. Select "Show Package Content". Then open "Contents" folder, and then "Resources" folder. Now trash the file "LaunchAnywhere.icns". Next drag your new file "LimeWire.icns" from the desktop and into this "Resources" folder. Finally, rename the "LimeWire.icns" file to "LaunchAnywhere.icns".

Now you must log out and log back into OS X for the dock to be re-set. This is quite a process but if you really enjoy the look of your OS X icons, then it is worth it.

Thumbs up Not so bad...

For those of you worried that the steps detailed above are difficult...THEY ARE NOT. Just do EXACTLY what it says (download the LaunchAnywhere.icns file from that guy first) and you will have it fixed.

I did this in less than a minute, and I'm not very good with computers.

Question

Like everyone else, I need to get my lime slice back...however, I'm tripped up at the first step of the solution, downloading the old program on my new Limewire. I can't find it, my searches always turn up empty. Can anyone help me? I hate the plug!

Thanks,
Michelle
