Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

lol @ the timing. I answered your question a minute before you even posted back.

Birdy already posted you what the download page looks like. I get the feeling you do not even read responses in this thread. I'm outta this thread; unsubscribing to spend time with members who actually 'read'. Good luck!

Umm, no. While I certainly appreciate Birdy's help, his image was not the download page at limewire.com.

Umm, do *you* actually read? If you did, you'd have noticed that *I* took the trouble to post what the limewire.com download page looks like.

I appreciated your earlier help, but your attitude negates it now.

Let's recap the LW installation process, as it might stand for a couple million PPC users:

1) Go to limewire.com
2) Click DL link
3) Install from the DLed disk image
4) Launch LW5 and see that it fails
5) Plus- your old Limewire installation is nuked
6) Search on Google
7) Find Gnutella forums
8) Register for Gnutella forums
9) Post question
10) Get advice from helpful person, which unfortunately fails, too
11) Wait overnight for further advice
12) Remove receipt file from obscure directory
13) Catch attitude on the forum

Not impressed.

And BEFORE you get to the download page, you select which you want, pro or Basic. Once selected you get to the page Birdy showed. Or didn't you even get that far.

ciao my last reply to 'you'

I told you what to do & you are STILL COMPLAINING like someone who wants to FLAME the people here who 'do' give others help. Go back & read Post #9

Did you forget to read that ! It tells you exactly what to do. WHat's more it's the same advice I've given many times over past few weeks. Did you consider that each question gets answered many times on the forums. We have a search button for members to find answers easily. Some are simply too lazy & think their self important issues demand personal attention.

Whatever LW.org does is their business. I contacted them to get them to put more information on the page for Mac users. WHich they have done in limited fashion. I'm still waiting for more notifications.

Wrong again.

The screen I posted earlier is the only thing you see after clicking the non-pro DL link on the limewire.com homepage.

You're the only one I criticized, because you're the only one with the nasty attitude.

Ummm- how exactly do you think I found this thread? The first thing I did was search. I searched for the verbiage in LW5's Java error dialog. No results. I tried another search with no good answer. Next I added a question to an *existing* thread -- this thread -- rather than start a new one.

And some older members start flaming new members for no good reason. Grow up.

You left out half the page, your image posted is only showing the top half of the page. Birdy's image shows the bottom half. lol
(Oh & the Older Versions link is to the right side of the page, which Birdy's image doesn't show. But this one does: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...0-5-later.html.)

Have a great day Kim777

Here's the whole screen from limewire.com (not .org):



Nothing is left out.

If you go to the limewire.com homepage & click on the big, non-pro DL link, you will never see that screen.

It does when I click the Get Basic button. I am using Safari. Firefox seems to look same too.

You're displaying: Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

I never see that URL. From the LW homepage, my Safari links directly to:

Lime Wire » Thank You for Downloading LimeWire

There is *no* warning there about versions there (I posted the screenshot earlier).

Regardless- the fact that the LW OS X installer doesn't even try to look at the OS version is inexcusable.
