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.

Is anybody of you running Limewire via SocksCap? V1.2 worked fine on my machine (Win98SE), even when I didn't use the "Force IP" option, but V1.3 only works if I run it for the first time OR without SocksCap (I can do this for troubleshooting, although I really >should< use the SocksProxy)... When trying to connect via SocksCap ZoneAlarm only asks whether it should allow the program to connect to the internet, but not if it may run as a server. So my theory is that Limewire1.3 tries to connect to a server, waits for an answer and then quits for some strange reason. But why? Because it can't get any reply?
Reinstalled V1.2 and it seems to work OK... (TIP: Always keep copies of your old installation files and change the name so that you can see which version it belongs to!)

Well, still don't have it working every time but have a little more info.

1)it is not neccessary to uninstall Limewire before reinstalling it.

2)once you have installed Limewire 1.3 it is possible to correct this problem by going back to version 1.2. Just make sure in this case to uninstall 1.3 first...

just my 2 cents.....

good luck

Thumbs up

I wrote a really long answer to the problem addressed in this thread, but unfortunately I left one field blank that was required and when using my back button, the entire message was deleted. I am not going to retype the entire post, but I believe that the problem here is a firewall issue. First off, if you are not using ZoneAlarm or ZoneAlarm Pro as your firewall, then you need to run, run, run to www.zonelabs.com and download it. ZoneAlarm is free. It is the best application firewall you can get, and it is FREE! If you don't believe me, go to www.grc.com and read until your heart wrenches at how vunerable you are using an opposing firewall. If any of you have additional firewall questions, or would like me to rewrite my looooong post that was erased, e-Mail me at trajik210@lycos.com

Thanks,

IMHO, it's not a firewall problem. I've tried several different firewalls,icluding Zone Alarm, Norton and no firewall and get the same results. Limewire only loads once, then I have to download it again. This only started about 3 months into using it, now it won't work at all.

And LIme wire people; I've sent e-mails and asked for help.Does this company not respond to help people out?

I've gotten this hang/freeze thing going on as well, and as with others, it was okay for a while, and then this started happening when no other changes had been made to the system, or the firewall. Uninstall/reinstall has been no help (not even the 'run once then crash' kind of help) installing the recommended Sun Java 1.4 (I had 1.3 before) had no effect, either. I can't figure anything out.

I'm using Windows 2000.
