Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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 Have an annoying problem with upgrading my LimeWire Pro...

Windows Vista - Lime Wire 5.3.6 – Wi-Fi from a cable

I do not know how to resolve this issue but it is getting annoying. I bought the life time LimeWire pro deal about three months ago. And recently I have been getting messages to update my LimeWire, however when I go to upgrade it asks for my email and none of the three emails I have seem to work. I don’t know if I put it in wrong when I signed up, or if there is a database error of some kind but I can’t do anything with my LimeWire now as far as upgrading it.

Sorry but there is no such thing as a life-time Pro. If you ever saw the words "Lifetime" then you obviously accidentally purchased LW from a Scam site (click on link) .

Check your original payment record (CC receipt, etc.), see which company you paid for the so-called lifetime Pro.

I have limewire pro right now, and all I care about at the moment is how to get it updated when the e-mail I put in when requested is not working. I will deal with w/e else some other time. Getting my limewire updated is what I need help with, nothing more.

you entirely miss the point..

there is no lifetime subscription to LW...this means if you bought one, you were scammed and bought it from a scam site (i.e. NOT Official Website & Free Download - Lime Wire) and there is no way you can update your version without actually paying for a real version which will come with either 6 months of updates or a year of updates....

you see, if you pay thieves for something you can't expect the real owners to supply anything now can you?

You know Peerless,

How many times have we seen scammed novices look for support from the Limewire.Org, they just don't get it that they are not entitled to anything.

Poor arrogant and gullible FofF is not the first and he will definitely not be the last.

For God's sake I am running lime wire pro, I have a subscription for it. I should have never told you what kind I had. I checked the damn bank statement and it all checks out so break you damn typing fingers if you are reading this and plan on typing anything in reply that has nothing to do with helping me.

???

why should you have never mentioned that?

it shows us, since LimeWire Inc. does NOT offer a lifetime subscription, that you were scammed...so you got charged for it...you're point????? you paid thieves apparently, not the real LimeWire and therefor you can expect no updates, as you gave your money away to thieves not the real owners of the software...do you frakking get it, or do I need to pull out a 25 oz. framing hammer and beat it into your skull?

Does the Bank statement say you paid Lime Wire LLC ? Any small variation to that name means it was not the official LW. LW has never offered lifetime subscriptions. You suggesting they do is why we are all suspicious .. sure there is the odd scam site that has a copy of pro.
The official LW site generally has 3 offers .. 12 months of updates & support = $34.95, 6 months of updates & support = $21.95 .. one off payment no updates or support = $13.95.

You never told us how much you paid for Pro.

Unfortunately Guys

FofF still doesn't get it, yes he has got a subscription but it's bogus.

So, he has a bogus copy of LW from a bogus (scamming) company and he paid for a non-existent "Lifetime membership", those bogus shares in this bogus company must be going up.

Seriously FofF, you should be checking your payment details to make sure that the bogus company is not collecting a monthly payment fee for their non-existent "Lifetime membership", then get your details changed so that they cannot charge you again or sell your details onto other criminals.

It may be too late but you should also be trying to get your money back by telling your CC provider (or bank) that you have been scammed by a bogus Internet company.

Now FofF, you have all the advice you need to rescue the situation.

If you guys were polite about it in the first place maybe I wouldn't have been so annoyed. Don't say that some of you weren't being assholes when I was just asking for help, because you were. Thank you for the help though.
