Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Cool

Ginia,

Your answer to what those files are; Java files. The uninstaller is needed in case you decide that you don't want LW anymore or you experience problems with the version you have (uninstall/reinstall). Hope this helps.

Callahan may be the voice in the darkness but I seem to be the voice crying in the wilderness. The reply I got from the forum was no reply at all . I know that they are java files but I want to know their purpose . Why so much in the folder? What is the point. WHAT ARE THEY FOR and what do they say since I am unable to open them. Why put them in there with the application if they have no purpose? And why must an application be uninstalled instead of just dumped in the rubbish bin . I'm sorry to question like this but I have a great many questions and I'm either missing something because I'm running imac or nobody else knows either. Once again I ask you what ARE those java files called jars all about and how do I read them and if I'm not supposed to read them why are they there? and where can I find real, full, HELP files for the thousands of other questions I have . Why are there no menus. What does that one and only question about contextual menus mean [what contextul menus anyway] , and why is no-one else asking all these questions. Someone out there must know all this stuff. If so where did they get their information because I would like to have access to it too. An WHY does it take so bloody long to verify files in the paid- for Pro version, while they just fly through in the free basic Limewire. In fact having paid for Pro I have not noticed any benefits at all!!!! What did I actually get when I paid [with great difficulty, I might add being international!!!] the downloads are no faster and Ive still got no access to information. HELLLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!

As you know, user documentation for a dynamic project can't keep up with development. A Java programmer could tell you the purpose of each of those files. They are probably discussed in the developer's mailing lists. Here you go

Why an uninstaller? I recall some distribution sites will not allow apps to be listed unless they include an uninstaller.

Contextual menus? Command or Control click for the trial and error approach. (This works better for Mac users, who really don't read user manuals anyway) Hmmm--looks like the user manual is back up again-- http://www.limewire.com/english/content/userguide.shtml

Menus? For OSX I use the default OSX theme (View), which put the menus in the menu bar, not the window header.

Pro/vs free? I haven't seen a discernable difference: There used to be no difference, other than the ads. Perhaps as more people upgrade such differences will become more appparent.

Pro/Basic Verifying? The only difference I've noted is with OS 9 and OSX. OSX verifies very quickly, OS 9 is very slow.

I'm having trouble separating your questions into 'expert user' and 'programmer', so sorry if I guessed wrong. Just another Mac user.

Cheers
