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. |

 .sit files not working I also have the same problem with .sit files. The renaming solution, however, does not work, as on a mac, the system doesn't care what the name of the file is as long as its under 32 characters. You don't need PC traditional xxxxx.xxx formats. So, does anyone know what the answer is?  |

 I am having the same problem but my files are .img and .dmg and stuffit won't open them automatically or manually. I tried using resedit and was told they have no resource fork and asked if I wanted to add one. I said yes and found ???? in the Type box and OG c in the Creator box. is there something I can put in those boxes so the files will open? Thank You |

 nice if this bug was documented I went for days downloading over and over again, only to keep getting files that won't open. Silly me, I tossed all of them and kept downloading. Only on day 3 did I bother to check these forums. What a waste of time! Being such a common occurance, it would be nice if this was noted in the FAQ section instead of the drivil that's there. I'm a 17-year mac veteran, consultant and advisor to firms like Adobe and Macromedia (and creative). I'm tired of these sorts of bugs. Macs aren't so few that we should be told "gee, we didn't think about macs" just so we can waste our time doing something so simple (like downloading) that it ought to work. |

 Opening LimeWire Files on a MAC I had the same, problem... drove me crazy... clicking wouldn't open the files. Some downloaded as .sit, .sea, .hqx in the file names but didn't show up with the Stuffit Exander icon. I have Stuffit Deluxe 5.5 and it recognized and opened them all from within the program. Stuffit Expander didn't seem to work as well. Willy DynaMixTech@Mad.Scientist.Com |

 okey, my problem is very similar to everyone elses......... im using limewire17 and when i download mp3s theyre usually in quicktime format which is fine and dandy because i can still use them in itunes. but recently theyve been downloading as "general documents" with the .mp3 extension attached (and i swear i didnt chang any settings!!!). the only way i can use them is to convert them into itunes documents, which is getting really tedious. how do i get them to download as quicktime documents again??? i have no problem with movies, theyre still in quciktime format. its only with the mp3s. ive tryed changing the file name manually but they still stay as general documents. please help me!!!! niki0619@yahoo.com |

| I havn't had any trouble with mp3s ...soooo...2 thoughts: 1) I am using Limewire 1.8 and 2) I use Macast 1.0 (which I am very happy with in and of itself) When I download mp3s from limewire, they show up in the shared folder as limewire docs. However, when I select them and drag them into the macast playlist window, they are automatically turned to mp3 files as each song plays. Hope this helps cheers, G |
