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.

fairlaneking is flying high
Default Why can't I re-name some songs, after d'loding?

I get an ERROR message to the effect of the file is being used s/where else....like WHAZZUP ?

I can re-name some files, but some I cannot. I know I should re-name them at the point of d/loding, but s-times forget...then when I want to ORGANIZE my files with the same Bold & hyphens, etc... some files, it won't let me do it..

So, again, Q: how do I make the file NOT in USE s-where else in my computer? Thx!

Does it stop doing that when LimeWire is not running?

Actually I was talking about restarting your computer, but try shutting down LimeWire, then find the files on your hard drive and rename them there.

trevor.... computer-illiterate idiot here... "locate it on your hard drive" ? ... i can't even get 2 socks the same color in the morning.

When I turn off my computer at nite, I assume Limewire goes off, too. When trying to rename a file, the error message says s-thing like

"Unable to rename the file "_________(ie. corey hart)_____.....It may be in use in another application" . In this particular case all's I wanted to do was Caps-lock & MAke it "Corey Hart"...same goes for dire straits ...DIRE STRAITS...u get the idea...

I don't get it. Why would it, & a few other files I cannot rename, be in use in another application, when all's I've done is d'lode them? (nothing else) Then, with other files I can rename them as easy as pie. I am baffled. I have even thought of just making a list of those files that pi## me off & just deleting them & d'lode the ones with the correct naming system I want ir "rename as...."

Let's take a shortcut. This gizmo cuts through that problem directly: Unlocker

Once you get it installed right click your stuck files, unlock them and do whatever
you want. While you're at it, tell us what program had locked those music files. ;]

If it's not a program but a process, your file might be seriously messed up and you should think about replacing them.

Tried that a few times with videofiles. Play fine but after watching them PC is sloooow. Need to restart. Using Unlocker it says if there are any processes connected to the file. If that's the case then there is more than the movie on the file. Haven't seen it yet with music but who knows what the misfits try next.

In my case not always Explorer. Sometimes there was a process which name resembled the title of the file
