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 Microsoft's Virtual Machine and Limewire

Whew, I am not a happy camper tonight. I downloaded the new version of Limewire and started the installation. It told me I needed java console versionsion whatever it is (My old 2.55 version of limewire worked without no problem and YES it was installed on my system) so I clicked on yes install it again.

All installation works fine and I get the new version set up. I now go to my own java enabled website to check out a few things and I am told that I do not have Microsoft's Virtual Machine anymore and my own website will not run properly. What the HECK! Limewire and Java Console deleted my VM! (or at the least rendered it useless) I do not like using java console for my web browser. Its sloppy, my java applets are not smooth and and my photo slide show is jerky with the console.

I want my VM back. I go to microsoft website and they say its only available in the new service pack 1. Alright, I download the service pack and still no VM. What do I do now?

Limewire and or Java Console has deleted my VM so now how do I get it back and or if I actually have it, start it running again? I am clueless here, and pretty mad.

Well, Black Sheep I know what I saw. What transpired happened in this sequence and only minutes apart.

1) I downloaded the new program, and it told me that I did not have the Java plugin installed (I did, because the old version of Limewire would not run with out it and I installed it while I installed 2.5.5 version) The old version ran just fine.

2) After installing (minutes after installing) I went to "add/remove programs" to check if I still had an old version of Limewire listed on my system. I did, and I uninstalled the old version.

3) After assuming everything was done to my satisfaction I started surfing the web (like 10 minutes from installation to this point) and the first page I went to was my own webpage since I have updated news that I wanted to read and BOOM the IE browser reported that I had to download VM because I was not java enabled.

I had been on the internet literally 5 hours yesterday with no problems and in a matter of 10 minutes from installing Limewire to the problems leaves no other way that this could have happened. No other program was installed in that 24 hour time period, and no changes in configuration. I have been using computers sine 1985 and I have a degree in computer science. I am not some fruit cake that assumptions without proof.

I know what happened and the actions that were taken.

Black Sheep,
I had checked to make sure that the java plugin was not operating with IE Explorer when it was downladed and installed. Verified that by going into the Java Console after installation. I had to change that setting to get any java enabled for the browser.

Update: It must have been some screwy config problem. I did not solve it myself, but I noticed an update to IE Explorer 6.0 and downloaded and installed. The update solved the problem and I was able to use VM again instead of the Java plugin.

Thanks for you concern and attempts to help me out, its appreciated, since I did not have a clue how to solve this problem.
