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. |

 another crash on startup I'm on OS X 10.3 or whatever the latest version of Panther is. I've been using the newest version of limewire for a few weeks now. Today I went to start it up and every time it crashes. I did the whole safe start-up (holding shift key down), erased anything Limewire, repaired permissions, and re-downloaded Limewire again. Still, the almighty crash. I liked the last version of Limewire. Can I get that again. The new version is less convenient. The interface is confusing and I don't like that the search box disappears once you've searched for something. Then you have to go back a page to search again. Bring back the old interface.  |

| Too many files in your incomplete folder? 4.0.5 fixed some problems with earlier versions http://www.limewire.com/english/cont..._history.shtml older versions (cringe) are here http://www3.limewire.com/download/ If you've found a new bug, did you send it in? |

| what is it? I only had two files in my incomplete folder, so it can't be that. And for whatever reason, I can't install anything but that damn 4.0.5 that doesn't work. Bah. I'm frustrated, and stuck inside with a lame foot while everyone else is waterskiing. I'm not happy right now. |

| Sorry to hear about your foot  Well, sounds like time for a clean install. btw--"Install LimeWire.pkg" is probably what is stopping installing an older version. Panther's Find won't look in the Library unless told, so you'll have to set up the find like in the screenshot. Delete all the old limewire stuff (including the incomplete folder) and try 4.0.5 again--that should fix your problem. You will have to reset all your preferences, but this is probably a good thing. |

| Thanks for your kind reply. Like my grandma always said, "a little kindness goes a long way." Unfortunately, I did everything you said, and still.....nothing. I'm a big fan of Limewire. I'm usually a big fan of Macintosh. But why is this happening? I'm a good person. I do good things. I'll share my cupcakes if asked. So why??????? |

| LOL! (I mean, ahem--yes . . . well . . . .) No idea without more info, like the crash report (Applications/Utilities/Console). Easiest way to see if it's a user prefs problem is to create a new Admin user and install in that account. If that crashes too, then it's not something in your usual user's home folder (I'd reinstall java in that case). Still, I just saw that the latest CVS build is updated, thanks to jum. It uses a different installer and includes some of the latest (not fully tested) changes: try http://www.mager.org/LimeWire/LimeWire.html I'm off to give it a try. Don't hurt your other foot  |

| Okay. I may have to return to this issue tomorrow. While everyone else was out on the boat basking in the sunshine and revelling in horsepower, I decided to make myself feel better with the power of Tarantino. An hour into Pulp Fiction and a couple gimlets I really don't care about Limewire right now. In the morning, of course I will. You're my almost hero. |

| I tried the new download. Same crash on startup. I'll include the console log. Maybe you can make some sense out of that. In the meantime I'll try creating a new administrator and see what happens. How do I reinstall java if I have to? I'm not geek enough to know about all of this stuff. Though I aspire to be more geek.

| Okay. I created a new admistrator account and installed the new program from the link. The installation went fine, no crashes. But it won't let me connect! Bah. Now what? |
|
June 13th, 2004

| Well, now I'm connected (cross fingers). So what's the problem with my original administrator account if the new one works and the old one doesn't? Can I fix it or do I have to keep connecting to Limewire using the new one? Thanks for all the help, by the way. |
