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.

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. |

 Valid & invalid upgrade options Hi All I have a first generation, 17-inch Macbook Pro (Intel) running OS X (10.5.8). I currently have installed Limewire 4.18.8 Pro (Java 1.5.0_19) and I'm generally happy with its performance. When I launch Limewire I am being strongly encouraged to upgrade to Limewire 5.2. There is no obvious indication as to whether this is a Basic or a Pro version. It is my understanding that Limewire 5.2 is not a valid upgrade option for my old Macbook Pro. If this is true, is there anyway I can disable to reminder? REGARDS Phil  |

| Unfortunately no way to disable either the update messages. Chances are your macbook would not be compatible (being an earlier intel generation.) Easiest way to check is go to your Java preferences & see if Java 1.6 (Java 6) is listed; Setting up Java for Leopard (see 2nd image). BTW when you click on the update link on the LW program, it leads you to the LW Basic download page, not Pro. |

| LW 5.2 Basic not for older Macbook Pros Hi Lord of the Rings You answer was precisely what I expected. I will henceforth ignore the update reminder. I anticipated that such and upgrade, even if possible, would lead to problems on my older Macbook Pro. If I had a 64-bit, Intel Macbook Pro upon which LW 4.18.8 Pro was installed, what would be the point of updating to LW 5.2 Basic? That is, from Pro-to-Basic. I tend to think the only sensible upgrade options are from LW Basic-to-Pro and from LW Pro-to-Pro (next higher version). If true, and assuming I had a 64-bit Macbook Pro, would I be better off waiting for a Pro version of LW 5.2 and give the Basic version a miss? REGARDS Phil |

| LW 5 is still developing. LW 5.0 was released start of year with very basic functions/tools. LW 5.1 added a few more. LW 5.2 finally added some old & new tools including an improved junk file recognition. However, I think it would still be best waiting until LW 5 develops a little more before updating / upgrading. The Pro/Basic argument is not an easy one. At least for now I'd suggest LW 4 Pro would be a better option for an 'experienced' user. (Many more tools.) Personally I'm a person who uses most of LW 4's tools. LW 5's less tools is not inviting to me to use LW 5 on a full-time basis. |

| When to Upgrade Hi Phil & LOTR As a windows XP & PC user I would just like to make a very basic comment and that is not all upgrades are beneficial or in the best interest of the end user  I have found that I can get the things I need done using my ancient (7 years old) PC running even older software, e.g. MS Word 97. And I am not the least bit tempted to upgrade to the latest software loaded with features I will never use, or even worse minus features that I do use  In short, I now will only upgrade an application if there are clear benefits for me, the end user, and not because the makers want me to  UK Bob PS. I do not include security upgrades/patches in my personal "cautious upgrade" policy  |

 Please help me - same problem with Limewire PRO Hello, I am new here. I hope you can help me. I paid for Limewire Extended PRO and I am not sure if I installed the right version or if I am truly enjoying the features. So.. when I clicked a link that allows me to download the PRO version, I see this statement: "The latest stable release of LimeWire PRO is 5.2.13. For more information, see the release notes." I checked my version and it is indeed "5.2.13" although it does not say if it's PRO or BASIC. However, every time I start Limewire, a message always pops up saying "Upgrade to PRO". I am confused.. Pls. help. Thanks!! |

| When you purchase pro you should receive an email from sales/customer support with a link to your personal pro download page. That's the page you download from. |

| PM sent. May I ask which OSX version you are running and what type of mac computer & how old it is? If you don't like LW 5, you can always downgrade back to LW 4 Pro. The option is on the pro download page in a special link. LW 4 has more tools & options, however LW 5.2 has some new features & improvements.  |
