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.

Cool

I am also having the same problem with mine. I can download any mpg one's that I find and they work ok but when it comes to avi's I can't. I've been to my help section and my computer DOES support avi's.....but I don't think it supports the codec the file uses. Now here's the thing I've downloaded DivX DVD decrypter and XVid but it still continues to not be able to play. DO you have to activate it or something. Also how do you find out what kind of codec a file is using? Really still dumb with computers and I don't know what to do? I've seen LORD OF THE RINGS post on sites with downloadable codecs any idea on which one's I should try? Thks in advance. Peace to you all

The file icons do not display the windows media player symbol as it used to on a older edition of limewire i once had. For some reason no video files which have been downloaded from itunes will play on my windows media player, when they used to! its so annoying. Is there any setting which can be changed to allow video files to be played on media player? Cheers.

To be perfectly honest with you I'm not sure I don't know jack about computers and I only go by what I read. I've never had a computer before this one so I don't know how the "old" versions work but I just tried DL'ing one of each kind and mpg worked. Let me look and if I find something I will post it. By the way what kind of windows do you have and media player?

ok as far as I know I didn't have to set up anything but I DID have to change planes on my media player. I had to click on Library then you'll see a list of Music Pictures, etc. Click on movies then it should give you a list of your movies. There's another way you can try to do it and that's by going on LW and going to your library and click play on the movie and when you do it automatically turns on your media player and starts the movie. Hope this helps.

First off I would get rid of WMP. It's nothing but trouble. Try VLC media player. It's free and has codecs built in. I don't use it but is highly recommended on this forum. I understand it will play vid & aud. Make it your default player. As far as burning an AVI file goes you will have to convert the avi to dvd. If you want to spend a little money which is well worth it check this out AVS Video Tools, Video Converter, Audio Tools, Video Editor, DVD Player, DVD Copy, TV Box.. It will do just about everything you'll need. I have it and would'nt use anything else. Hope this helps
