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.

Question Limewire window not responding to mouse

A strange thing just happened. I haven't done anything to alter the PC and it was running fine just the day before. I opened limewire and clicked "file" to connect and no drop-down menu. In fact, although the various boxes show they have recognised that the curser is over them, clicking the mouse does nothing. The mouse is working fine with everything else - just that limewire won't respond. I have checked for virus etc and the PC is clean. I have tried re-installing and that makes no difference.
The only thing I did was to run Limewire and WinMx at the same time (which I have done benore without problems) and updated by TrendMicro virus pattern file and read my e-mails. No response to a right or left click at all.
Can anyone suggest what could have happened. As I say, the mouse is fine with all other programs.
Very confusing.

Have you checked your java. LimeWire uses Java.

Well it was working two days ago because I was using Limewire fine BUT on looking at the java icon in cotrol panel and opening it, that doesn't respond either so you may have something there. I'll re-download the Java and see what happens. Can't think what could have altered anything but that's PCs for you.
I'll let you know.

Sorry, missed the second reply whilst responding to the first. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Limewire and also deleting the .limewire folder but no change. I have also made no changes to anything and have the latest version of Java installed (Sun v1.5.0._02) - installed just a few weeks ago and Limewire was running ok.
As I sad in my last reply, the java window isn't responding to the mouse either (yes, I have tried another mouse just in case).

close LimeWire

In control panel>add or remove programs. Remove J2SE Runtime Envirment then d/l to desktop and install from there

then restart limewire and check your mouse

Thumbs up

Well I found the java in the add/remove (update 1 and update 2) so I clicked on the first one and it asked if I wanted to modify or remove. Oops I clicked "modify" instead. Anyway, it ran through its paces so I though I would try the java console again and, blow me down, it responded. I tried Limewire and that's working again too
I think I will leave it alone now. Obviously something had damaged the Java installation as you thought
I have kept your instructions in case it happens again.
Thanks, I would never have suspected the Java.
