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. |

 strange folders in shared files/saved I stopped using Limewire a while back when I found some folders that alarmed me. They are still there. When I open preferences, I see Shared Files, then Saved but in that Saved folder. there are some strange folders, beginning with .BAH47r9, then MSDE2000 and a lot more subfolders. When I do a search for these folders by name, I get nothing so that makes it even more strange. Anyone know what this is?  |

| Hi Jordan2  Can you be a little more specific about where you found these files. Do you mean in the preferences folder or in your LW download folder?Which exact version of LW are you using? Normally folders starting with a dot are invisible to view on computer. So I guess you are seeing them via browsing with shared or saved option in preferences? |

| Wow. What a quick reply. Guess you still spend a lot of time here. Happy Holidays. I see these files when I open Library. Does that explain? Limewire 4.18.8 Pro Java 1.5.1_19 Imac Intel Core 2 Duo, 20", 2.16 GHz, 2.5GB of RAM, OS10.4.11 |

| Is it possible to use the Explore button on these folders? I'd be curious to know if these folders are visible on desktop. I'd also like to know what the directory is. Which folders are the parent directories to these strange folders. (ie: what folders are they within.) It's my guess these folders are not needed. You can of course unshare them via control-clicking them & choose from menu. |

| I cannot find them using any searches. Apparently, they are "invisible." There are dozens of subfolders and appear to be Windows stuff. Some of folders contain .exe files. At any rate, I am looking for a solution to delete them. |

| Select & delete from LW's Library window. However .. you will need to 'unshare' them first. ie: Control-click them & choose Stop Sharing File/Folder from the menu that appears. I'd suggest you do these steps from the upper folder level so it affects all the sub-folders underneath (inside) .. of course depending on how they are layed out. You didn't mention earlier there were .exe files so .. yes you have definitely come across something belonging to windows (probably a virus .. especially if it is invisible to view normally!) |

| Cannot delete them via LW? If they were visible in your shared folder, they should still be visible in your Library (unshared files). They'd show up as Red files instead of black if unshared. oh dash .. perhaps need to reshare that main folder they are in. But unshare each file within then delete. |

| But you remember which folder directory it was in right? So you could re-add it. Then try deleting. Alternative: Showing Hidden files & folders: Search - VersionTracker Mac 4 Ever : Le bit de l'invisibilité Below I have attached the InVisibles utility I used on my G4 with OSX 10.4 & earlier (you may wish to get a later version). If you run the utility once it makes all hidden files visible, run it again & it hides those that had their visibility changed. This will allow you to deal with the files & folders in question. Above I listed alternate programs at Version Tracker that do similar kind of thing. I have no idea how good they are. |
