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.

Are you getting this message when you're playing the songs with something other than the LW player? Sounds like you might not have added the music files to your player's library properly.
Within LW tools > options > saving & you'll see the location of your saved folder. This is where you have to add songs from. If you go to your LW library, click on Saved Files then Explore, your saved folder will open - you can probably drag & drop to your music player's library!

If this isn't the problem, you'll have to give a bit more info.

What player are you using??
Did you try changing your default player???
Are the songs showing up in your LW library or your player's library????

I know I have Media Player on my PC, I am not sure how to change my default player b/c I am not sure how to access this saved folder outside of LW that you are talking about.

Yes, the songs are showing up in in my LW Library but, not in my WMP!

Go to your LW library. Click on Saved Files then Explore... your saved folder will open up for you. Or, within LW go tools > options > saving & this will show you the location of your saved folder (by default it's C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Shared). This is the folder that you have to add from when adding songs to the WMP library.

To add the songs to WMP library, open the WMP library, click on ADD (green +) > by searching computer > browse until you find your saved folder > ok > search. Now you'll see the songs being added to WMP.

Thank you very much Birdy, that worked for me. I just don't understand why they songs will not lauch for me in LW. MY friend had LW and he was able to do lauch the songs and preview them before the DL was finished...Wierd.

My PC is also telling me that I am having a problem w/my sound device. That is may not be installed or inuse in another program or it's just not functioning properly... I have the sepakers connected to the hard drive so now I am not sure what is happening...any suggestions...Thanks again

I don't know why your songs wouldn't launch in LW either! If you've made sure that WMP is your default player, disabled the LW player (just double check that it's disabled... tools > options > player) one thing you could try is making sure that WMP knows what file types it's supposed to associate with.

Within WMP go tools > options > file types. Make sure that all the formats you download (like mp3, wma or whatever you prefer to download) with LW are ticked > apply > ok.

Really sorry but I don't have a clue about sound device problems. Keep an eye on your thread here, someone else might know. If nobody's answered in a day or so, bump the thread. Or try looking on Google... you never know, there might be some good info to help
