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. |

| Do not use add or remove programs to uninstall it. Try to do so by clicking on the start menu. Then scroll to all programs and wait for another column to appear now look for LimeWire it should be on the far right hand side at least that is where it is on my PC. Once you find LimeWire highlight it and wait for yet another column to appear. Once this has happened you should see Uninstall. Click it. This will help you properly uninstall it. Now if LimeWire is already uninstalled and you still can't get it to reinstall properly you may need to reinstall Java using the offline installer before reinstalling LimeWire. |

| Also you can delete your limewire preferences foler. It's located at C: documents and settings/your user name/.limewire and delete that folder. If i'm wrong tell me because i think that's the folder you have to delete. |

| I need help! I've had LimeWire for a while now... and I've lost about 90% of my songs saved in the "share" folder, they've just desapered, this is the second time that this happens. Is this normal becuase I don't use the "PRO" version? Has this has ever happen to any one before? And no... they are not in my "trash" folder. |

| Have you used the computer's search to try & find them? Look for one of the file names & see if they turn up somewhere. Is it possible that you (or maybe somebody else) deleted them by mistake? Delete from the LW library is hard to get around, things don't go to the recycle bin. You'd need a file recovery program to try & retrieve them http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=49851 Good luck  |

| As far as reinstalling LW, download the "Offline" version of LW. Then reboot your computer, then install LW. The reboot should kill any java activity. Reinstalling LW will uninstall any previous versions at the beginning of installation. If same problem, remove your Java using the add/remove control panel & reinstall it. I hope you weren't saving your LW downloads into the LW program folder. That is a fatal mistake if you have. As suggested, search the computer using the search function for the extension of the files. eg: .mp3 |

| I've alredy done serveral searches, but no luck! over 300 songs are GONE! so I can change the default download location "share", to like a folder inside "My Music" folder and it will still download all the files properly? |

| Changing location makes no difference other than if it includes either your video or audio downlds then that directory will create a new incomplete folder for the newer downloads. But will still keep a record of present downloads. ie: most other incomplete files will be moved over afaik. |
