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. |

 Forgets Prefs Well knorr, I just bougth the pro version 2.7 and experience this annoying problem, so I don't have the eariler version. I think what's worse is when companies like LimeWire send you to BBS's for support with no other way to contact them when you have a problem like this forgetting prefs thing. It wouldn't be so bad if the LimeWire had representation on this board, but we're left to fend for ourselves. I think I will ask for a refund until they fix the problem.  |

| No refunds Oh yeah, I forgot. No refunds for LimeWire. So I will say this: LIMEWIRE - GET YOUR ****ING **** TOGETHER AND PROVIDE SOME REAL SUPPORT AND SOFTWARE FIXES! At least monitor this bulletin board and respond, even if it's a lame "we're working on it"! |

 I found an answer for me! I was having the pref forgeting problem too, soooo I read all the stuff on the forum. not too much help but I did see something in a post about a dir, that was named the same as the pref file needed to be named, so, I started mucking around in the hidden stuff and I seemed to get it to work, NOW I haven't restarted my machine (an ibook) so it still may forget my settings on restart, but since I usually only put it to sleep it works for now even if i still have to do the wizard only after restarts, which remains to be seen, heres how I did it (Its not my fault if you muck up your own system, try at your own risk) 1. I used a program called tinker tool (can be found at, www.apple.com the osx downloads section, versiontracker.com, tucows.com, etc.) to enable me to see hidden files, 2. I went to ~/library/preferences/.limeware (~ means your home dir) 3. I deleted the limeware.props directory (you may want to move it to say the desktop at first to see if it works on your system) 4. I started up limewire and it created a limeware.props FILE in that location and its been ok since, like I said I haven't restarted my mac yet though I alls read of someone trying to use limeware for multiple users with this problem, my install is in my home app dir but for multiy user installs I'd guess that you would have to apply this "fix" to each users home library dir, and possably create a .limeware dir in the system library dir. I dunno but its worth trying if you need multiple people to use it, I don't, so once again try it at your own risk, hope this helps someone btw machine/software ibook (late 2001) 600mhz 256mb ram os x 10.1.5 limeware 2.7.3 |

| I just posted this as a bug on http://gui.limewire.org/project/www/bug.html. It took some patience, but I believe the bug has now been registered. I gave this url as a reference, so if you can, please provide specifics on the problem, your system, etc. For example, are you running multiple users? Did you start on an earlier version of OS X and then upgrade? I am on OS X 10.2.1, Started on X 10.0. I have had other users set up on this computer but currently am the only one configured. If anyone reading this thread does NOT encounter this problem, please chime in. Thanks. |

| I had this problem for saving prefs. on OSX till I discovered that closing windows with the upper left button solve my problem. When I was Quitting Limewire at the menu level it didn't saved prefs. Now I don't have problem because I deleted the version I had (all folder and invisible one in pref) and till that all installer of various version of LimeWire stall at tree quarter of the starting process. Till someone help me I will used other programms like Drumbeat, x-nap or Neo. |
