prob, see messages 5056 and 5057 in this forum; you're not doing anything wrong, it's just something that can't be done at this time, with any known keyphrase.

Thank you so much, dallymo,

Uh oh-- When I click to open a forum, the menu the right disappears, and I get a "Log Out?" window. Now I'm stuck here in bug stomp- I've tried hitting "back" and nothing happens, and there is no menu to navigate out of here with, so I'll have to log out and back in.

That was happening to me on and off a couple of days ago. Maybe it's a server problem?

When I am chatting with my bot, it says "your bot doesn't want to chat with you anymore". Is it a bug??? Or is it rebellion from his part?

It means that the bot you've triggered too many xnones in a row.

Heres an odd xmath glitch:

Sonora: *pokes head out of hole* Uh-oh! It's me again, Janet666!
Janet666: Is the answer about 6,00?

What is that? Is that 6000 w/o a zero?

In Europe, they use a comma like we would use a decimal. I don't know if that's what's going on there or not, though. *shrugs*

Is that true Ulrike?

In the UK:

6,000 = six thousand
6,000,000 = six million
6.00 = six pounds
6: 00 = six o'clock (had to put the space in to stop the shock face automatically appearing!)

Is it the same there? I think in France, they use

6,00

to mean six Euros.

I don't know about everywhere in Europe, but certainly in Germany and parts of Russia. (I've had students from both places use a comma in place of a decimal)

I have a friend who is a programmer. He used to sell developer's code, specifically VB6 custom controls. Someone reported that one of his controls crashed in German Windows. It turned out this was because the comma and decimal point needed to be reversed.

We (Europeans) use a comma in place of a decimal, therefore 6,00 is 6, and it can be 6 euro but also 6 percent or 6 pancakes
