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.

(To kill 2 birds with one stone.) Also can you tell us about your connection setup? Just in case of potential issues: What brand name & model number of modem & router do you use? Do you use a firewall? Are you connecting from work/home? Some dsl/adsl modems/routers use NAT (as does Apple's airport) which blocks most incoming ports in a similar fashion to a firewall. If you use such a modem we can forward a port for it. A quick check is if you visit this site (ignore the text in the red box) & tell us what it says in the grey box underneath 'The Applet': All I need to know is what's probably on the 4rth line & it says about NAT (eg: It would appear that your machine does use NAT.) [/B]
I am using cogeco cable high speed internet..how would i check the model number on my modem? that all came with the computer.
The router is a RCA digital|BROADBAND the model number is dcm305.

no firewalls, i checked.
i am connecting from home.
im not sure what website you are referring to, however i do have another filesharing program (acquisition) and i dont have this problem with that program. i dont know if that helps any.

i'll try the other ideas now! thanks a bunch for the quick reply, im really stoked on trying out limewire. Moreso now that's i've been putting such an effort into just opening it up! haha.

edit:
-i dont remember installing mac os...i think my mom might of done it, or it came installed.

-that's how i updated java, so i don't think that's the problem...

Smile LW crahing on Mac OS

I'm runing Mac OS X 10.3.8.
My problems began when I wanted to update LW.
I made the mistake of dumping the old LW app including my copy of the installing software.
I downloaded the new version and installed.
All I got was a bouncing and crashing LW.
Apparently what I was doing was loading an UPDATE. It even said as much on the installer button.
Without an application to update, LW would just crash.
The LW website only offered the update, same with downloads.com.
Very frustrating!

Following what I found on these boards,
the advice that worked was installing an older version of LW.
I found it at this URL:
http://www9.limewire.com:82/download/backup/
I got:
LimeWireOSX.dmg 30-Jul-2004 12:12 4.7M
It wouldn't let me install beacuse it detected LW already installed. (I got (null) warnings.)
I trashed everything LW on my hard drive after doing a Command-F search.
I did the install of the above download.
IT'S WORKING GREAT!!
THANKS EVERYBODY!!!

They are not updaters. They are only refered to updates. They are in fact the main program. If problems installing then follow the above suggestions or go to OSX>Library>Receipts folder & view in list mode. Then delete any old LW versions listed. Then try to install. This same principle also applies to the Standalone Java installer. Sometimes the OS says it's already up to date ... so you dump the Java from the receipts folder.

Question Can't launch LW

I'm pretty sure I did those steps of dumping reciepts. And still I crashed installing the latest version.
All I can say is by dumping everything I could fiind of LW, then installing the older version mentioned, it worked.

OK. Not sure the reason for your issue. But sometimes having the receipts package of the same file & version of file will stop installation. As you mentioned a Null error.

Reinstalling Java or OS Combo often fixes the bouncing in dock problem.
