I have enabled chat in preferences, but cannot access the chat feature. I am a "babe in the woods" here, so any constructive help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Belle

Can only initiate Chat with those others who have chat also enabled. So ... if you see the chat smiley icon in the search results or download window or uploads window, you can try then. To get that column showing, contol-click the top column bar where the headings are & you will see a menu of options, choose to show Chat column. Warning the chat in LW is not super reliable. Also many people leave their LW running overnight or whilst they're at work or school or whilst they are doing other things on computer so they may not see the message until it goes stale.

To initiate chat, select the one that shows the smiley icon under the chat column, then press Chat button or else, control click and choose chat from sub menu.

When I look at income searches and check to see who is downloading my files, I have noticed that unless a host has the chat feature enabled, I cannot browse their files. It does not seem fair that someone can download my files, yet I cannot download theirs. Other than killing their downloads, how do I stop that from happening?

*nods* I agree it is more difficult from the Monitor window; those uploading from you are even 'much' harder to browse. It's a simple fact we have to accept unfortunately. Also Browse using LW has never been a perfect tool, sometimes giving results, sometimes not from same host.

BTW Jordan2, hey I feel a connection to you having joined the forums & made my first post in same thread as you with same problem.

Send me a PM, I have something to say if you wish.

Thank you for your reply! The next time I use Limewire I will follow your advice. Peace to you.

I have nothing Mac-ky or LW to ask; I just wanted to know if the video clip of the penguin pushing over the other penguin is real. I never think of penguins as practical jokers, except in cartoons. If real, it is a great clip. I just saw Madagascar II and the penguins were killer again.

Real penguins, but not sure about the clip. It's my guess it was adjusted. I received it as a joke in an email being passed around the family. I reduced the size & converted to GiF to use as my avatar. It's not easy to say, but looks a little like the penguin accidentally fell thru a hole in the ice or something.
