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.

Angry Upgrading Pro 4.9.30 BUG!!

I was happily running 4.9.28 Pro .....

When a message appeared inviting me to upgrade to 4.9.30 .... which I did ....

And it installed 4.9.30 standard (non pro) and kept invitin me to upgrade to Pro ... which I did as I had only recently paid to upgrade to 4.9.28 Pro and could get the new Pro version without further payment.....

This then installed 4.9.29 Pro .... which constantly tells me there's a newer version available ......

You've guessed it..... which provides 4.9.30 standard - non pro - which constantly invites me to upgrade to Pro .....

I'm now running 4.9.29 Pro, - with constant invites to upgrade to newer version .....

A cyclical frustration!!!!!!!!

Have you tried changing your update settings to only include service releases or major releses. It might be set to Beta considering 4.3.0 is a beta release.

Thanks for the advice, - but have checked and it's only ever been set to service releases - not Beta.

Not a major problem, - just a little frustrating!.

I'll put up with being told there's a newer version for the time being!

Cheers for the reply

Hmm the past couple of updates have been both beta & official releases. That doesn't happen too often.

nabrepan ist sounds to me like you installed your program into a different account or did something with your LW settings. I'm sure if you use your computer's search engine you should be able to find your shared files.

Offline installers have the advantage of being able to reinstall anytime. Just keep a backup somewhere (off the computer is wiser.)

Sometimes if an update plays up, it's better to delete your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire This sometimes seems to refresh LW. However, before you do that, make a note of any important settings such as where your downld folder is, where your shared folders are, filter settings, etc. etc. Copy them into notepad or something. However if you use default settings then it isn't important to make a note. (And no! deleting your LW preferences won't make any difference to your incomplete files so long as you choose the same downld location.)

I am not sure how I would have installed to a different account, I only have one account and I updated like I did every other time...is there anyway to go back to a previous version of limewire? So what your telling me these files are lost forever? and I need to start downloading these 60+ some files over? Thanks again...

I reported the problem of notification and Pro versions to LW devs. It is now fixed (in-network notification pulled back for Pro version), shouldn't happen again.

Ciao

They'll be on your computer somewhere. What's happened I don't know. Did you uninstall the previous version of LW or install over the top? Or did you manually move the program folder to the recycle bin by yourself? If you can't find them, & you use XP then try a system restore back to before the update.

Where was your LW downld folder? Was it situated within the LW program folder?
Personally I use iTunes so I end up with 2 copies of all my music & simply use those within the LW downld folder for double-checking. I also keep my LW downld folder totally separate from my LW program folder. On a different partition/hard disk drive actually for both windows & mac.
