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 Hi, new member here, with a question...(moving music)

I am trying to figure out how to pull music from other programs (BearShare, for example) to my LimeWire library, so that I can then delete BearShare. I have tried copy-and paste, copying songs to desktop, then dragging and dropping them into ZLimeWire saved file, but nothing seems to work. I have some songs that I don't want to lose, but I REALLY want to get rid of BearShare now that I have grown comfortable with LimeWire.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Lloyd

Hii and welcome !

? 1... Are you talking about trying to move 'partial' (incomplete) downloaded files, or..
Simply wishing to copy and/or move existing completed downloads ?
(Copy and then Paste is NOT the correct procedure.)

? 2... What Operating System are you using ?

Don't panic... This is going to be an easy one for you !

There is only one reason that you could ever 'need' to move files 'from' BearShare 'to' LimeWire... That would be so that LW would have a definitive list of those files that you have already successfully downloaded.

Neither BearShare nor LimeWire should have anything to do with the 'final' storage folder on your machine.

Best thing that you can do is to create a new folder - probably in your 'My Documents' folder - and Copy or Move your files to this appropriately named new folder... doing the Copy and or Move functions with Windows Explorer...
You could create a main music folder called, maybe MUSIC BANK... Create another called something like MY SHARED FILES... Copy some of the stuff from 'the BANK' to 'the SHARED' folder...
Main thing is to start out in the beginning with a fairly clear idea so that you can manage your files as they grow in number... Lots more on this subject for the future...

The storage of your completed files should be independent of any p2p application folder.

Let us know how you get on... !

p.s. Please do not automatically allow sharing of your DownLoads or Incomplete folders... Reason is that if you ever share un-checked (tested and proven) files, you have no right to complain about D/Ling bad files from other ! Right ?

at the risk of being a pain in the aXX, I am new to VISTA, and can't even FIND Windows Explorer. I klnow it's a lot to ask, but could you provide step-by-step instructions?
Once I have them all in one folder, will LimeWire still find them, or will I have to use Windows Media Player or some other program?

Thanks in advance,

Lloyd

Well...
(btw... NEVER start a sentence with, "Well,..." !)

1st, my every condolence for your sentence with Vista... Don't worry, parole is available... It's not for life !

'Explorer' is just the thing you use to drive around inside Windows... NOT Internet Explorer... That's different.

When you double-click (if you have Desktop Icons showing on your screen) on My Computer or My Documents you will be using Windows Explorer to 'navigate' around your folders and files...

Best thing to do (no offense) is to STOP internet activity for a while... This will be safer for you... Learning how to 'drive' your Windows Operating System NOW will save you years of pain later !

Another btw... Probably best for you to post general questions in the Tips & Tricks Forum here in these Gnutella Forums...
You'll get a bit more attention and it will be from all the various 'p2p client' users... Not only the LimeWire folks !

As far as listening/viewing is concerned, FORGET LimeWire's so-called built-in player... In fact, forget ALL built-in players in ALL p2p client programs !!!
They're ... er... garbage.

Use Windows Media Player or WinAmp or numerous others...
And, read here, in Tips & Tricks, about CODECs and other amusing things you need to know !

¡ luego !

Default Thanks for the help....

so, if I understand you correctly, i should only use Limewire for downloading music, not for playing it? Use windows media player instead?

another problem has crept up today---every few minutes a new web site pops up in a new tab---all are advertizing and nothing I'm interested in; how is tis happening and how can I stop it????

Thanks,

Lloyd

Yes.
Or, WinAMP - the free version is more than enough !

Virus(es) or just basic garbage 'popups'...

Popups are fairly easy to deal with... Many programs available out there but the Popup Blocker that comes with the GOOGLE TOOLBAR is amazingly effective.

For virus and intrusion protection the 'current' best seems to be a program called Nod32... It is very good.

You can try a free scan AND removal process by clicking here >

Free Virus Scan: Use ESET's Online Antivirus Scanner

It is safe and powerful. Be prepared for probably at least a 30 minute run unless your computer has an small number of files to scan. Nod32 removes viruses, 'spyware', dialers, malicious cookies... The works.

They also offer a limited trial of the full version.
