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. |

 Limewire crashes my connection at any random time!! This is so annoying! I have Mac OS X 10.1.5, newest version of Limewire (although all the previous versions I've had with OS X have done it, too), and at any random time while I'm using Limewire, my internet connection will just die. I have a crappy modem connection, but nothing else I run seems to have a problem with it. I don't have a firewall. And yes, I have read lots of other posts and searched for this problem, but the only thing I found is that people have a similar problem when they start or quit limewire, and that doesn't happen to me. It only happens at random times while I'm running it. I've tried lots of different things to make it stop, nothing works. What's wrong? I like Limewire...but this is just really annoying and frustrating! If anyone can help, thanks a lot. Nicole  |

 Check to make sure you have the most recent Java. Have you checked with your ip provider about whether you can use p2p software. I've heard some providers try to block it. Is that a dialup service? |

| I used to think that I had the same problem: Limewire (or other p2p apps such as BitTorrent) crashed my connection at seeminlgy random times. Well, I've figured out my 'problem'. Turns out my stupid ISP automatically shuts off connections that are active for a precise 24 hours. Can you believe it? Why would they do that. To my knowledge, no other ISP (at least in France) does this and mine happens to be one of the most expensive, if not the most expensive of them all. You'd figure that with the money they take from us they wouldn't do that to us.

Yes it is a dialup serice. For the other person who who replied...It happens at ANY random time..not just every 24 hours or whatever. Totally random. |

| Oh, and I checked...my isp (Telus) doesn't block p2p. |

| In your Utilities folder (within the Aplications folder) there should be a folder entitled Java. There should be a file in there called Java 1.x.x Plugin Settings. The most recent version is Java 1.4.2. Use your software update utility (from Sys Prefs) to update Java if needed. Glad to know I'm not the only one on a dialup modem! Is that the internal modem that came with your computer or an external one? Hope it's not an external usb modem. Have you had any difficulties with other net apps? In your Sys Prefs & Network, click open the modem section, have you set it for Enable Error Correction & compression? It sounds like a modem problem to me. Hopefully when murasame gets back (joke  from his temporary 'lost in Olympics' or dog paddling (drowning) in the sea. He will have some other ideas. |

I use the internal modem that came with my computer. My Enable error correction & compression is checked. I don't have trouble with any other applications EXCEPT msn messenger, (I can no longer receive files, although I can still send them). For msn, though, I was lead to believe that the reason for this was because my version of msn is outdated and I can't upgrade it because the new version requires at least system 10.2. Oh well, I'll upgrade eventually... Maybe I have the wrong modem listed? Would that be it? Anyways, thanx for your help! |

| What is the modem setting you have (as in which type & version is selected; what v.# in brackets)? Also can you go to the apple icon at top LH of menu bar & select About this Mac & press the more info button. Then under hardware select modems. What type & specification is it? I've heard they have different ones for diff countries (I don't know if that's right or not.) If it's not a modem issue, then it could be Java. I know on a g3 here LW had issues with java & also did with some browsers. As time went on it got worse (actually the browsers were not initially affected but then one by one it caught up with them.) |
