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.

Default Font size selection.

I just just upgraded to a 20" high-rez monitor and the text in Limewire is so small, it's almost unreadible.

It should be easy to allow users to increase the font size.

I'm not a PC person, but on a Mac, in Safari, you go under view/make text larger and WOW it happens!
maybe there is a view option in your browser too!

have fun sharing!

Lyssa &JuliasMom, I don't see how changing the settings on Safari would affect the settings on Limewire. You may be right (I don't really know) or you may be partially right, in that you have to change the settings on all applications.

Bubba, there must be something that you can twitch in the Control Panel.

Hey Murasame!
Sorry, what a dip! I thought he was talking about reading the limewire forum! (since that was where I read his post!) I tend to make all text bigger but I didn't notice it needing it in Limewire program-- but any option to that would probably benefit someone out there!
Good luck with it!

Font sizes are controled by the selected skin. So you can easily patch a skin, which is just a ZIPped archive containing a simple text file that specifies the font sizes explicitly.

But may be we should be able to set the font size in the skins according to the display resolution (in dots per inch).

But most probably, you have not set your system with the correct value in dpi used by your display mode, so fonts are too little also in other apps as well (the file Explorer, the standard menus, the font size of icon titles on the desktop, etc...)

In skins, font sizes are not given in pixels, but in points, and this normally adujsts automatically to the correct number of pixels if your display mode is correctly setup.

Try to set your display to 96dpi if it's incorrectly set at 72dpi for high display resolutions. Or try setting it at 120 dpi if you need larger fonts in very high resolution (1280x1024 or more). Visit the Display Control panel of your OS to do those settings.

Note that some skins will not be very readable if you use some Asian or Semitic characters. Notably Han ideographs, Korean Hangûl, Thai, Traditional Arabic, or pointed Hebrew.

For Thai, there's a known issue because it requires taller linespacing for the same point size.

Also some skins are activated with Bold characters, and won't work well with complex scripts. You need to choose a skin that does not use bold characters (for example for button labels).

The OS native skins for windows and MacOS should mimic the metrics of the OS desktop. So it's still the best choice (as it does not use bold if the OS specifies that bold should not be used).
