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.

Guess we have to clear something my friend. You posted into the thread of Western Moon who said:

any help would be apprectiated. i really wanna get some songs off of there!

So I assumed that you also have a problem to get LW opening the same as Western Moon's problem. Now you post this here:

Thank you
As I understand it, you can open LW just fine, but you have a small brickwall in front of the globe and you cannot connect to the network, right ??????
If this is the case, read here how to configur the firewall properly (connection problems -click first):

I can conect to the web.
My problem is when I start Limewire for the first time, the configuration assistant starts and ask me my language , my conection, ... and at one moment it says that if I have firewall alerts I have to configure my firewall. But I don't have any alerts and my firewall autorizes Limewire.
I have also a window that says that limewire is conecting to the server and it seems to load. But it doesn't stop to load and nothing happen.

Does Limewire open completely and if yes, do you see a small brickwall in front of the globe in the left bottom corner of the LW window??

Could you make a screeshot of the window and post it here?
(Press the button "Print Screen SysRq", which is right above the Enter button of your keyboard, when the LimeWire window gets stuck). Then open MS Paint and click edit>paste. Cut the LW window out of the picture using the rectangle. Then open a new MS Paint document and go to edit>paste. Then save it as a gif or jpg file and then post here agin attaching the picture to your post.

But before, try two other things. First, close LW completely and then right click the LW icon on your desktop. Go to Properties>Compatibility and change the Compatibility Mode to Windows NT or Windows 2000. Then try to open LW again.

If that doesn't work, uninstall LW via START>Programs>LimeWire>Uninstall. Then download the installer exe for LW that you will find via this link:
http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther

Install it and see whether that will solve the problem.....

Default Still not working

Umm, I did everything you said, to a "T", but it still didn't work. On the site it also says Windows Offline Installer, so when the first one didn't work, I used that one, but it still didn't work. If LW doesn't work, would you recommend any other music downloaders?
This might also be useful information, I'm not sure, but when I go to download it, it says that I have to save it to disk. I don't know why that happens, but whenever I download anything on the computer it says that, even if I don't have a disk in the drive. Don't know if that might help or not!
Thanks again.

With disk it means your Hard Disk Drive (also refered to as HDD).
For me it is not comprehendable why you should not be able to download the offline installer onto your HDD.........because that's exactly what you should do. It is always better to install any program using the offline installers rather than the online installation process.....
Is there any error message appearing when you try to do so?? If so, could you tell us what it says ??

There isn't an error message that comes up. It just goes to the window where it says to take down the firewalls on your computer, but there is no button or anything to press to go beyond that screen and LW doesn't finish loading. I really don't know what the problem is either.
