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. |

 songs going over to shared folder with ######? Aloha Can anyone tell me why after downloaded, the songs pop over into my share folder, sometimes not with the whole name but with a series of Numbers added to part of the name?? Sometimes the whole title of the song is replaced with a series of numbers.. Can I change my prefs so the name of the song stays instead of being replaced with numbers?? How do I know which songs have downloaded sucessfully without having to open them and listening to each?? thank you Stewart aka csg1000 stewart@winning.com  |

 Hi I have never had the entire tag as an alphanumeric string but there's a first time for everything. Some files downloaded from PCs only have a limited display space for the file tag and so they translate the long version into a shortened coded version which is what you see. Assuming that you have selected iTunes as the default format for your downloads from the internet, it is easy to drop into LW Library and change the tag by clicking on the words, waiting a moment and then clicking again. This will open the box for you to edit. When you have finished, press return to save the edit. I have a routine of editing the tags immediately the download is completed. That way, I never lose track of what each file is. And you always know when the download has been brought to to successful conclusion because it tells you when the file is "Complete" in the downloads box. Hope that helps.  |

| numbers instead of names David Aloha 6/17 thanks for your note!! I will look into the itunes.. When I am downloading 20 songs at a whack, I don't have time to sit in front of the computer and watch as each completes and then change the name immediately .. like watching the grass grow ;-)) thanks again! Sincerely, Stewart@winning.com |

| With mas os 9 i noticed, that long file names were stored in the comments section of the file automatically by some p2p programs, and translated into the bizzare alphanumeric code (is that unicode?) that we've seen. |

| How to avoid? Sadly, it's an automatic function and, unless you are prepared to upgrade, it's not going to go away. I seem to remember the annoyance continuing in OS9.2 but it stopped for OS10.1. Certainly, it never happens on the current OS10.2.6 (although many other annoyances have replaced it so don't feel left out). Even after twenty plus years, life with Macs is still two steps forward and one step back! |

 That Long David91 I've only been playing with Macs for 14 years and it didn't take me all 14 to figure that one out.  I believe with the advent of "X", we may have graduated to the 50/50 phase of two steps foward and two steps back. That's the problem with being decades enriched and an "old" Mac user. Have a nice day David91. |
