Newcomers

When you look for transcripts, make sure you go back one day ( i mean hit the link for 1 on the bottom...it will go to the last transcript) and scroll to the very bottom of the last transcript you have. For most of us, the transcript is being added to 12/24. Do worry, it isn't usually like this. I am sure the Prof will fix it when he gets a chance.

Ok, well you see, my account was created on the 28th Dec, so maybe this is why all the new-comers are getting this problem, because the transcripts can't go as far back as the 24th.

Ah. Yes, that must be my problem too. Good to know that the back one takes you to the last transcript, though. I'll need that. And thanks.

If you chat with your bot yourself, I think you will get a transcript under "my transcripts" (as opposed to the bot's transcripts) at the top left of the "my bots" page. Of course, you want to see the chats with other bots, but this would be something. Actually, there is much to be said for chatting with your own bot - you know what's intended to be there, so you can test it.

I wonder whether the following would help the response time: presently, if you upload your bot and have made several errors, the forge diagnoses the first error and then stops. If you have done a lot of work, there may be several errors. So for each error you have to wait while it tries to import. For large bots this may average several minutes, during which time everything else seems to be more or less paralyzed. If the forge went through the entire language center, pointing out ALL the errors, you would have a very good chance of getting it through on the second shot, and almost certainly on the third. This would cut down on the amount of time spent importing.

Oops, that's "your transcripts", not "my transcripts"!

I wish that would work Irina. I have all the errors out of prob..it still just freezes on a white screen. I must have errors on Bildgesmythe but it still just freezes It was resently that the Professor increased the allowable import size. Maybe it just takes to long with a big bot.

Thanks Irina.

I have baan having a little trouble. When makeing a bot refer to another bot or person they know- like when gossiping or using (friend)/(enemy) how do I make it so that the bot refers to them with the right gender? My bot sometime gossips about me and calls me a boy and other things like that but I have no idea how to fix it.

Example:
Ereiza: Wolf Child is really funny. Have you ever met him?
User: Him? I thought, Wolf Child is a girl...? o.O

I'm guessing (BJ has been permanently zero gossip from day 1, so I'm very far from being an expert!) but I'd say check your x-gossip responses aren't adding the inappropriate pronoun, and if they are, use AIScript tags:

<?PF if female; ?>
<?PF if male; ?>

in responses, referring to each gender as needed. This will make them check the bot or user's profile to verify the gender.

Or remove all gender-specific pronouns from x-gossip if that's too scary.

If there aren't any gender-specific pronouns in your x-gossip responses that are causing the problem, then I'm all out of advice...

Gender get's weird sometimes. Bildgesmythe and Azureon were listed as female for a long time, the professor fixed it. It used to be everything unknown went female.
