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. |

 Problems At Startup!! Ok I've had Limewire Basic for about 4 months and when the new version (4.8.1) came out I downloaded it. It has been working fine until I tried to run it again today (I haven't run it for 9 days). I open Limewire and it starts to go through the normal startup procedure until it gets to "Loading User Interface," whereupon it freezes. I've tried waiting for about 15 minutes (and it had made no progress), and also reinstalling Limewire about 3 times. I'm on a Mac G4 and I'd really appreciate a fast response (I'm going on a trip to Pennsylvania the day after tomorrow and I NEED my music)!!  |

| Try deleting your LW preferences whilst LW is closed & found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire Also try this: Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! It will make LW start up faster. You could try it whilst LW is closed by going to the incomplete folder & arranging it by size & then deleting those at 0 KB. |

| Ok I tried deleting my preferences and LW itself, but when I tried to reinstall it and run it again it got all the way to loading status window and then froze. I've been waiting about 1 minute and nothing new has happened. BTW theres nothing in my incomplete folder. |

| There's nothing in your incomplete folder b/c you've chosen a different location to save your files. Search your computer for the older location you saved your files & your older incomplete folder are. They will both be at the same directory level. eg: /Users/your_username ... if that was where your older save folder was then that's where your older incomplete folder will be. So reset the save location to where it was before. I don't know which version of Mac OSX you have but might I suggest you reinstall Java using the standalone Java installer. See Fixes for LW (click on link) You haven't given us any clue as to which OSX version you're using. |

| O crap I just remembered this: When I first got LW it was an older version that I had to use Classic to run (Mac OS 9). So after I got that earlier version it I set my download destination to a different file. So when the new update (4.8.1) came out and I downloaded it, I replaced the old LW with the new one. The preferences were already set on the new version (possibly because I hadn't deleted the preferences folder in my library that you told me about earlier), so I didn't have to change anything. As it turns out the old DL destination file was in the folder for the earlier version of LW (and I seem to remember my incomplete folder being there as well) and this folder I deleted. Because the preferences were already set for the new version (which as I said has been working fine for months) IDK where the old DL destination would be other than in the old versions folder!! |

| 1 other thing: I have 512 Megs of total RAM so I doubt that's a problem. Unless I don't have enough RAM allotted to LW in which case I would need to know how to transfer more (I used to know on my old machine but never looked into it on my new 1). |

| On mac osx it's not an issue so much. afaik osx allocates as much ram as required at the time. But also remember that all osx programs use virtual memory so you need to have lots of sufficient HDD space. There's ways of reducing ram usage but not until you get LW to open. Also see this:http://www.limewire.com/english/content/support.shtml re: osx issues So how much ram & spare HDD space do you have? Last edited by Lord of the Rings; May 18th, 2005 at 08:19 PM. |
