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.

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. |

 Hi Carldragon The problem could be almost anything - how is the help so far? If you believe it's a Limewire problem, you can send an email to "limenathan". There is a link for this, but I'm sorry I have never used it and don't know how to attach it. Birdy, if you see this message could you please supply the link to Carl. I have a few questions / suggestions. As I don't know your level of experience with PCs, please forgive me if some of what I say is trying to teach you to suck eggs. 1. Did you download Limewire from Limewire's site? There are a few 3rd party sites around illegally marketing inferior versions of Limewire. 2. If you are using the free version try uninstalling completely and downloading it again. Many problems can't be fixed - you just have to start again. 3. If you are having problems with the pro version you should be able to download the registered version again. I never needed to do this with my registered version. 4. The problem could be with your PC's protection systems, e.g. Firewall settings. 5. Try another free P2P application to check the search function. If this works correctly it should eliminate Windows as a potential problem. 6. Reinstalling it each time must be resetting something. I can't think of any user settings in Limewire that blocks searches, so I keep coming back to a faulty installation executable. 7. The installation file could have been damaged during the download or something running on your PC during the installation process could be interfering with it. Try closing everything you can during the install, especially scanners. Hopefully somebody who has had a similar problem will read your post and supply the precise answer you need. Please post the fix to your problem so others can benefit. Thanks. Good luck.  |

Are you using LW Pro? Are you having some problem with not being able to update/download Pro (this thread is about Pro issues)?? If you're a Pro user with current Pro benefits & are having trouble downloading a Pro installer, limenathan may be able to help. But if you're just having connection issues...no point PMing limenathan! Can you please let me know if there's a Pro issue at all? carldragon, do you mean that LW will show search results straight after installation but next time you open it - no results?? Is your LW connected at all (green/blue connection bars in the bottom left corner)?? Does LW open normally, even if it can't connect/serach?? Please give some more info so that we can give you more specific help  If you're using basic (free) LW, try using the offline installer when you install LW. When you click to download LW, cancel the dialog box which pops up. Now use the option to download the offline installer. If LW's not connecting, have a look at this thread for fixes to try. If nothing there helps, please post your system details (see thread for more info). If LW Will Not Connect |

| Hello from Thailand. Just started with this Limewire the last couple days, and enjoying it immensely. I purchased the LimeWire Pro, and after unsuccesfully searching FAQ's for a particular question/answer, I tried that E-mail route which I supposedly have access to, by virtue of this purchase. I was promptly told that my E-mail address was incorrect (or some such thing). My question was, how to download those jpg. entries, the ones with an image of stacked books? |

| The image of the stacked books will show up if WinRar is your default program for opening archive files...so the files with that icon are archive (compressed) files (eg .rar or .zip files). A jpeg file shouldn't show up with an archive icon. I'd stay right away from those files - they may be infected. At the least, right click on the search result > advanced > lookup file with Bitzi. If other users have rated the file, you'll get some idea of it's content & quality. If the file has heaps of sources, but no Bitzi rating then avoid it. If you do decide to download anyway, make sure that you're using a good, up to date AV program & scan all files that you download, before you open them. If you're having problems with Pro support, let us know when you bought Pro, how much you paid for it & which vendor shows up next to the purchase on your credit card statement.
