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.

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. |

 Incoming searches but no hits I have some files I'm eager to share but for some reason they are not being hit by incoming searches. I enable incoming searches and I can see incoming searches that match what I have but when I look in the library pane that shows hits and upload attempts it doesn't show any hits on my shared files. The only files that seem to get hits are files I've downloaded. Nothing that was in my shared folder on startup gets any hits. Any one know why that is? Also Mac OS9.2.2 has a limit to how long of a name I can give a file so I can't be as specific as I'd like as to what it is and the annotate button is greyed. How do I get the annotate button to work so that I can enter more specific information so my files will be found easier? (once I solve the above problem any way) Wow, I just searched this forum for annotate and out of all these posts the word is only mentioned in passing in four of them (including this thread). I must cunclude that no one has had ant questions about the annotate button either because they don't use it and don't care or every one knows all about it or no one knows anything about it and it's a big mystery to every one. hmmm... It did work for me once and I found it a nice feature for adding extra info to help people find my files but I have no idea what causes the button to go grey. If any one knows what event or criterea have to be met for the button to function, I'd sure like to know. Please.  Last edited by Matt38; June 4th, 2004 at 09:02 AM.  |

| Try the following: go to LW's Library (by clicking the Library tab) and click the Shared Folder. There, look for the files that you want to share and see if they are the same as the ones that you have inputed them in the Finder. You can also try going to LW's preferences and see if uploading is enabled.

| been there, done that Yes, files are the same and uploading is enabled and in fact the bandwidth for uploading is set to max. I've also noticed in the bottom left corner of the LimeWire window where it shows how many files are being shared that that is represented by to numbers seperated by a slash and that the first number corresponds to the number of files in the library window that have had hits and are shown in black text and the second number corresponds to the total number of files in my shared folder mostly shown in red text if they haven't had any hits. I haven't seen anything in the documentation that elaberates on what the red and black text or the 2 sets of numbers for the number of files shared means. Any thoughts?

| Umm, yeah, someone told me what the red ones were but I forgot, sorry. Btw, don't put the upload bandwidth to max: your Mac will only try to use bandwidth it doesn't have. Decrease it to a little less than what your connection's upload bandwidth is. Also, I'm in no way an expert, but it might be firewall issues (not necessarily your's) that are keeping others from dlding your files. I think, if you wait, you'll eventually see someone dlding them.

| Gnutella Resources section I looked through the user's guide and this was all the text that covered the annotate button and I could not find hide nor hair of the gnutella resources section. Doesn't seem to exist. >The Annotate button will open a window where you can adjust the meta-data tag for a file. This tag contains information about the file that can be used to organize files, or help searches narrow their search criteria. To read more about this, check "MetaSearches" in the Gnutella Resources section of our website. Correct me if I'm wrong but since LimeWire's website points users looking for support to here then shouldn't there bee some people on LimeWire's payrole here to answer these types of questions? Or is this just where they dump us to fend for our selves? I'm confused.  |

| Well, this is basically a forum where you can get help from either more experienced people (who might have had the same problem as you and migh have figured out a solution) or from the software developers themselves (but, I'm quite sure they're very busy people, what with having to develop new versions of LW for us, so that they can't really afford to come and answer posts everyday). This is indeed where they "dump us" (if you will) but we are far from left to fend for ourselves. You just have to be patient and the right person will eventually come and post. And sorry for annoying you with posts that bring no solutions to your problems whatsoever.
