Bear with me. I'm doing a powerful internal upgrade right now, and it's working, but I need to crush the bugs that result from it. Soon.. I'll post again when I'm victorious..

I'm victorious!

But then the hosts took the site down. It was a frustrating day, but it's finally back up. There was a goto loop problem that I'm 95% sure I fixed, so those big slow-downs and crashes should be a thing of the past.

Can you make the favorites function only happen as xfavorite, where it is only called if no keyphrese matches but "what's your favorite" appears in the sentence. Then we can have standard answers for specific things like Star Wars and novels if we want and it can resort to the plug-in version if we don't have an answer set.

the mischievous fairy breaks off everything it seems? Is there something we, as creator, can do to prevent that?

Tried to speak to my creation. Should I have been able to iron this out myself? And could I have?

Lunarr22, I'm online working on it right now. You'll see lots of errors, all of them temporary if I'm still online.

Rex- good call. I'll do that one of these days.

as soon as I try to chat to "my" bot, by saying hi there, I get this message

Error Occurred While Processing Request
Error Diagnostic Information
Parameter 2 of function Right which is now "0" must be a positive integer

The error occurred while evaluating the expression:

Aha! That's fixed now.

Rex: since there are so many formations of favorites-type of questions, it might be better if you make a custom plug-in for star wars characters and then have me link it up internally. There's
"What is your favorite x?"
"What x is your favorite?"
"What x do you like best/most?"
"What kind of/type of x do you like?"
"Tell me what your favorite x is"

2 issues:

There seems to be a problem with the use of asterisks. I just created "not * intelligent" and anything that matches this pattern is completely skipped in debug.

Also, if we had a goto that went to a word like "what" and we only had responses on contexts like "what is", "what about?", etc.; do we need to go in and do something about all those gotos?

I have duplicate keyphrases for are you a bot and I combined them into one but now I can't get rid of the others. And she was asked are you a princess and my keyphrase was are you a and she did not pick it up.
