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. |

| Cannot open Limewire on my Mac after months of OK. This is my first message and I would appreciate any light on this subject. For some reason, Limewire has disapeared off my desk top. Then when trying to reinstall, it won't open. Limewire doesn't recognize any of my 3 e-mail addresses when I go to submit for a new download. I have a customer numbr that was given to me when I purchase Limewire many months ago. What next? A message I sent to info@limewire.com comes back as undeliverable.Thanks. SilverWings |

| SilverWings, I'm a bit confused by your post...do you have a LW installer or not? If you have no installer (I guess Pro since you paid for it!): How long ago did you buy Pro? Remember, you'll get updates & email support for 6 months...if you purchased more than 6 months ago, your email address won't be in the database any more. If that's the case, you can either download the free basic version or buy Pro again. LW doesn't keep old installers for download...it's up to the user to save & back up installers  Last edited by Lord of the Rings; December 31st, 2006 at 03:47 AM. |

| I see Hell Fire has triple-posted. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...002#post249002 Perhaps can also see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...035#post249035 SilverWings should check exactly how far back they purchased LW Pro, since updates are only available for 6 months. |

 Purchase PRO over 6 months ago I did purchase PRO over 6 months ago. I guess I still thought it was a one-time payment. Anyway, I downloaded the Basic and am still having the same problem with the icon bouncing in the MAC OS 10.4 dock. I've followed the other suggestions about re installing JAva after traching one file and also did the BSD package suggestion. The directions were very clear (even though I don't have a clue what it's for), but still not working. I'm going to see if I can go back and re-install Mac OS 10.3. Too many problems with 10.4 it seems. |

| Did you make sure you were using Java 1.5? Setting up Java 1.5. Did you do a safe boot & repair permissions? Also, try one of Jum's nightly builds. His builds sometimes overcome the issue you're having ... http://www1.mager.org/LimeWire/ |

 LW is back working with JUM build and new Java file I tried both ideas and one of them (or both!) did it. Limewire is now no longer bouncing in the dock and stays on. Also, I'd followed another idea which entailed dealing with a firewall and port. I'm totally out of my league here and jut hope I'm not doing any fatal !?!! things for later on. Thanks for all the detailed help. |

| Limewire is on -- my Mac G5 fan is spinning like crazy! Maybe a silly point. But since I got Limewire back on with the great ideas and fixes, the fan in my Mac G5 is spinning like crazy and not slowing down. Should I be concerned?? |

| Not sure why that should be the case. If it is due to LW, then perhaps use this tip Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! & also keep shared files less than 2,000 for OSX. BTW did you end up doing the SAFE Boot & Repair permissions? 1st do a safe boot & repair permissions; (1) Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode; & then (2) Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions. Then reboot normally. |

| Did Safe Boot and some permission repairs Yes, I did one of these tasks completely, the safe Boot. Then with Cocktail or jackrabbit (??? - sorry, but I've been on this for a couple of days and have lost track) I did a repair permission set of tasks. However, whatever application I was using kept going and going (maybe over 15 - 20 minutes) and after quite a while I quit the program. Should I have kept going? |
