Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

Well, there is another new beta version out today. 2.7.4

Don't bother as it now has installer problems.
After installing I would get a Java error, something about not finding the main script when trying to run the application.

Had to re-install 2.7.3 to get things working again.

Geez, don't these guys do preliminary testing before they release things?

Guess we'll have to wait and see if 2.7.5 works.

Lightbulb Partial Workaround for Set-up at launch problem

There is a workaround for the Set-up That Won't Die problem. It worked for a misbehaving LimeWire Pro v2.7.3 on my G4 Mac running OS 9.2.2, and if you're missing a limewire.props file in your Preferences folder it might work for you.

But you need to have your previous LimeWire version's "limewire.props" file still available. I got mine from my last systemwide backup; it came from LimeWire Pro v2.6.5. Put a copy of the old limewire.props file inside the new ".limewire" folder located in the System Preferences folder. Make sure the copy has the original filename "limewire.props". After that you should be good to go. You can even change your preferences now and have them stick. Apparently all you need is one good existing limewire.props file in the .limewire folder to get over the hump.

Anyway, I hope this workaround also works for you. Good Luck.

Wink Partial Workaround for Set-up at launch problem Part II

Oops. Forgot to add one necessary instruction in the last post. The LimeWire Pro v2.7.3 installer and the Set-up procedure that followed left an empty folder inside the ".limewire" system preferences folder named curiously enough "limewire.props". I trashed this empty FOLDER and REPLACED it with a copy of my previously existing preferences FILE "limewire.props" that I retrieved from a backed up system file. Sorry for any confusion...

Thumbs down Here we go again!

Well just downloaded and installed beta 2.7.5 a short time ago.
11-13-2002 @ 6PM EST.

Still the same old same old. Installer says no errors but when I try to run it ta da same old ****.

Unable to locate the application's 'main' class. The class 'com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main' must be public and have a 'public static void main(String[])' method. (LAX)


O.S. = 9.1

Something tells me this don't get tested on older machines before release!

Maybe it's time to change to something else, this is getting boring.

Lightbulb simple fix...

Try this, until they come out with an official fix. It worked for me (g3 imac, OS 9.2)

1. Go to your system folder..preferences
2. Open the .limewire folder
3. trash the limewire.props folder (it's empty anyway)
4. create a new document and name it limewire.props

(to do this I duplicated the gnutella.net document and renamed the resulting copy limewire.props. But you can probably start with any old generic icon)

After launching Limewire again my new phony limewire.props file became 4k in size. The setup options appeared set to default choices. Now you can go to the Options menu and change them to what you want and they will "stick". Limewire quit going through setup each time.

Hope this works for you!
