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.

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.

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. |

 Lost all files Can they be found?? Sorry in advance if i am in the wrong part of the site posting this. A quick question if anyone can help me out there. I was opening limewire on my pc when there was a quick blackout/power supply cut to the house. This has resulted in me losing all my music/video files. Is there a way of getting these back. Tried a systems restore on pc all to no avail, as it wouldnt let me restore to prior date. Pretty much program/systems ignorant when it comes to these sort of things, so if anyone can help, i will need you to pretty much walk me through each stage of the process in simple terms. Hope someone can help, thanks in advance all, Eddie  |

| Hi Eddie, Are you sure that the files have been lost? Maybe LW's settings have reverted to default after the power went out - then saving/sharing locations might have changed. Check out the thread here for possible locations (don't worry that the thread refers to after an update  ): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...downloads.htmlOtherwise, use your computer's search to look for some of the mising file names or file extensions (eg .mp3, .wma etc). If the files really are gone then the thread above also has links to file recovery advice  If you're still stuck then you need to let us know what OS you're using & also what version of LW. |

| Hey Eddie, Them folders you noted are the default folders for LimeWire, they make them when LW is installed. There is no need to worry, ONLY if you use a custom folder to save your files. |

| If you're having more luck with a general search for files (rather than looking in the default saving/sharing locations for your LW version) - look for whatever video formats you might have. For eg .avi, .mpeg, .H264, .wmv, .mov, .mkv or search for the video titles And for photos, have a search for .jpeg or .jpg, .gif, .png, .tif, .tiff & see whether your files show up PS We're having your kind of weather here today & it's horrible (still only 12º at half past 1 & it's been hailing all day)  |

| I was more referring to the temps We're not used to these cold days. Depending where you are in Vic, you might be used to much colder weather than we are. Perth's a windy place, so we're pretty used to that (don't have to like it though - I hate the wind).Friends came over from Melbourne a couple of months ago & said how dry it is there now. I lived in Vic in the 90s & can't imagine it dry - it was all so green then & there was no such thing as water restrictions. Hopefully some of the rain (& no hail) we're getting here makes it into Vic. It's been our wettest winter for quite a while. Here's hoping the drought breaks for you guys |
