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. |

Windows XP, Firewall through Norton Antivirus (have disabled and tried to open Limewire), DSL connection, Modem Westell DSL2 & Router, Limewire version 4.12.14, Java Web Start, Test worked, don't know about the p2p sharing. Don't know where to check that. Need help desperately! Thank you! |

| Get what fixed Cloud? Your post is SO vague we don't have a clue what you are talking about. We don't know how to fix your problem because you haven't given any details. Did you read the thread from earlier on? Errors due to mistakenly uninstalling LW using Add/Remove control panel - what to try now. Read from here onward! |

| Problems starting Limewire Hi, I downloaded Limewire again after Limewire stopped working. So I deleted it through the User Control Panel and downloaded it again. Everything seemed to go smoothly except for one thing...it doesn't work. When I try to start it, I double click on the icon, the limewire symbol pops up then nothing. I have tried everything from reloading and rebooting to trying it with Norton turned off. Any suggestions? I have tried other mp3 downloader's such as Shareaza. It starts up and everything but it never downloads correctly. Limewire is great and easy to use, just have to get it started. Thanks for the help. |

| Check my post above. The control panel is NOT the way to uninstall LW. That's why you are having problems. |

| So you are using the version from the zip file right? You just unzip & use, no installation necessary? Did you clean your system with Crap Cleaner before hand? BTW you will probably need to reconfigue it with Norton FW again. Norton tends to do that. Also, delete your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) If still issues, remove all java versions, then install this version: Java 1.5 (take the JRE) BTW normally installing LW will uninstall the previous version at beginning of installation, else you can uninstall via start menu > Programs > LW > Uninstall. Considering the population of LW users, no I don't think there's that many. Count how many users with installation issues & see what % of 20+ million that is. Lots of zeros less than 0.1% lol  |

| I need help as soon as possible! The other day I attempted to "update" my limewire. When I went to open it, there was a message saying that the installation was corrupt and that I should re-download. So I uninstalled the program, and I re-downloaded Java, and the download still won't work. The alert message says something like "You do not have privileges to install limewire. Please restart the installer as an asministrator or power user." But I'm the administrator of my computer. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!  |

| One of the biggest problems with people sitting in front of computers is that they don't know how to read _ manuals, that is ! Anyone ever think of reading the 'help' files ??? Most people download the program, install it, and then expect it to work 100%.... _ WRONG! Every program needs to be set up. Every Limewire program I've worked with has similar setups for firewall settings, upload/dopwnload speeds and file limits, etc. People, try 'tweeking' some of these settings until you get a program that works even better than 100%. OH, and remember, you can only download as fast as your ISP connection allows. These stupid internet speeder programs just slow you down, not speed you up ! OH, Yah....and for those who've been having trouble installing Limewire and the program window fails to load, try removing your NVidia video cards and put in an ATI card. I just swapped out 5 different NVidia cards with no luck on Limewire loading....I thru in an ATI pci-e card and the program works perfectly. Some NVidia software doesn't support the newer java !!! Give it a try ! OH, I may be new to this discussion group, BUT I am into my 9th year of computer and software repair ! |
