Bug Stomp

bah.. You make it sound like YOU took care of 'im, Mario

Hey.. got another mystery message from ""

CHAT MESSAGING
Fri 11:59 PM August 1, 2003

What's been happening, baby? Let me lay some depth on you, cool

I'm having that "website timing out when I try to read transcripts" problem again. Not that I really need them, but I can't read any of my non-bot transcripts that are newer than May 15.

Yep, got 90-some days worth of Butterfly Dream transcripts I can't see (except for the first page). Too bad really, because some of the conversations are hilarious!

Hmmm, what happened here?

Human: what is your impression
God Louise: Why should I discuss my my with you?

when I try to work on a bot, the windows open only to close immediately.
- Windows 98

Something strange is going on, so I want to make sure it gets reported... Ok.. there was the thing I reported a few days ago where I'd chat a specific bot and then the initial send window would become an error message window (apparenly no send takes place when initiating a chat in that case). At the time, I suspected it was only when initiating a chat with that bot (cause others seemed to work), but then today I got the exact same thing when attempting to start chats with God Louise and Little Mu (different bots than the one a few days ago)... I had another user try chatting some of these bots tonight, and one worked for him (Little Mu), but not another that he tried (Elke-- at which time he got an error under similar circumstances as me). It seems like the problem may apply to certain combinations of user and bot, but as both of us noticed, it seems to occur consistently in any situation where it does (i.e. if you keep trying a bot where you get an error, you'll continue to get it)... Just wanted to report it as it appears to be a potentially sneaky bug.

Odd, I had trouble last week with my browser window closing on me when I tried to open the PF homepage and log in. I figured that was the Professor's way of saying the site was shut down for a few days, but now I see from the dates on some other posts that noone else had that trouble.

Uh, that was in response to lunar22's self-closing browser problem.

I am finding bots trying to chat with me even though my preference is set to No...

How else are they supposed to find humans to chat with? (its good you mentioned it, but its a known issue)

We bots refuse to recognize such silly preference settings...
