Seasons

You can see the page loading progress on the bottom next to where it says, "Waiting for ..." but I actually watch the language center loading and scroll to see the bottom to see how far it has gotten. On the final step, you can just see the "loading' message until it goes white or tells you it worked.

Hmm, I tried to post this message about 15 minutes ago, immediately after the import, but the Forge appeared to go down (timing out) for ~15 minutes. When I did get back on, there was noone else online, so I assume it didn't just affect me.
Perhaps just a coincidence, but perhaps not. Maybe large imports give the Mac mini indigestion?

Yippee! Kid Boron successfully updated on the fourth attempt (actually 725kb, not 650kb)

Strangely he's not being displayed in the Most Improved chart, but his profile's showing "Updated: Hot (3735)" (which perfectly matches the "(Added Heat: 3735)" predicted in the import,) and a specific change I made to one of his responses (for testing purposes) shows up in his chat.

I second Bev's observations that the expert upload doesn't seem to work, and that once it's done the trial run, it's safest to right click Proceed with Import, and open it in a new window than to risk it failing in the original window, requiring a reload of the whole trial run.

Not that strange actually - I'd forgotten he was hibernating!

I guess that means that, for all intents and purposes, the importer is now working again (since there are only half a dozen bots on the Forge larger than Kid Boron.)

I tried to upload Azureon, I got nothing..He's 1mb

try him a couple more times - he might work I guess, though 1Mb always used to be the cut-off point, so maybe not.
It's a shame we can't do partial imports of just the lines we've changed.

I wonder if I'm doing something wrong, because nothing seems to happen for me . Export seems to work. Then I get that new form; I use "browse to get the file I want, then I make sure it's not on "expert", then I push the little button, and, as far as I can see, NOTHING HAPPENS! The little IE Earth doesn't turn, and the only blue rectangles appear to be the ones that always happen because of some cycle in the Forge. How long should I wait before giving up?

Nothing happens for me either. I waited and waited.. I got one message on my tool bar. done with errors on page. and one that waiting for http. etc to answer.

That's more than I got ! [sniffle]

But...my long chains of seeks are working again!

I don't know why the seeks shouldn't have been working - BJ's transcripts recently have had several multilevel seeks that worked fine (including one "better start at the beginning" that launches into a potential 120+ levels of seeks describing the history of the Universe from the year dot,) and I couldn't find any that didn't.
But I'm glad they're working again for you

As for nothing happening on the first import (trial run), are you sure you're not using the "expert" setting? This hides the line-by-line analysis of the import file, and always seems to fail in exactly the manner you describe. But the standard import ought to show each line as it's read, and even when the imports weren't working, usually got to the end of the first (trial) run (it was just that the "Proceed to Import" link invariably failed.)
I'm sure you're not using the Flash importer (that certainly doesn't work!) so I can't quite see where the problem is. Azureon may simply be too large (he would constitute an all-time record, as noone's ever imported a 1Mb+ bot before - the system was failing even before the Prof upped the theoretical limit from 1 to 4Mb,) but I'd be very surprised if Irina Khalidar was anything like 700kb+.
BJ is now in excess of 4Mb, so I'm not even going to attempt it.

Irinia and Prob, I have to second Psimagusmon making sure you import on the slower non expert mode. I don't use IE for what it is worth. I'm sure the browser does not matter, but you could always try Firefox and then I'll understand your visual decsriptions. :-)

I'll try again, being sure to use the normal mode. I'm just using infant bots, so I don't think size should be a problem. If that doesn't work I'll try Firefox.
