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

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.
In xgossip, with (gossipname) you can use (heshe) and the AI-Engine will supply the matching gender for the selected (gossipname). This does not work with (friend) or (enemy).....as I found out the hard way when I first started. 
There, I often put in (he|she) and hope for the best!
I can't think of any simple way to make sure you get the correct one outside of xgossip. *shrugs*

Thank you Ulrike- didnt know about (heshe) I've been using (he|she) 
. As for <?PF if female; ?> - that ought to be handy- I could put that to use in several situations that get... weird.. so thanks psimagus for that too.

Thats a current bug the forge has been having. No transcripts have been showing up until the server reboots- and that only happens when The Professor does. Everyones transcripts have been stuck building on one page- mostly Dec. 12 so if you made one after that I have no idea what to tell you.
Prob 123:
You might try doing it when things are a little less busy. I go crazy trying to import IK at GMT 25
0, but it is merely tedious at GMT 10.
Also, I have known that blank screen to sit there for a very long time, with no blue rectangle, turning world, or any other sign that something is happening, and then give way to that blessed message, "If everything is like you want it to be ...". You know it's still chugging if you or one of your bots is chatting, and NOTHING HAPPENS.
The only other thing I can suggest (other than pleading your case to the Professor) is this: IK tends to grow by accretion, and so every now and then it becomes clear that she can be significantly abbreviated without any harm. I see a systematic way to do something that had been done with a patchwork up until then. This allows her to be shortened a bit.
Good luck!
