thricipio is flying high
Default official Limewire Communications warning msg.

I just upgraded to 4.12.8 and . . .

I hate to whine — okay, I know… if I really hated it, I wouldn't post this, right? — but what gives with the ugly orange¹ warning banner at the top of search results tabbed windows? I mean, it's not that I don't appreciate getting the warning, but why keep this banner up on what seems like a permanent basis? Or might I get lucky and discover that after awhile, this banner msg. times out and I won't have to look at it any more?

It just seems like an eyesoar to me, and it unnecessarily takes up screen realestate.

I suspect this is a stupid question, but . . . is there any way to get rid of this banner, short of regressing to 4.12.6?

Thanks.

Could you post a screenshot of the message?

Sounds fishy, especially as the current version is 4.12.6
There's a 4.13.0 Beta version but AKAIK no 4.12.8...did you get your LW from the official site www.limewire.com ?

Hmmm I had another person say something about 4.12.8 and I thought it was a typo when Mick pointed it out...

Hmmm... "Oops" is right… when I go there it says 4.12.8. I suggest you refresh your webpage and report back to us?

Settle down. I have refreshed my page. I see 4.12.6.
WW is downloading the 4.12.8 & she will check it out & let you know what she finds.
