Further demonstration that we are 2 nations divided by a common language:
I notice that the correct English "optimise" gets spellchecked to "nepotism", rather than (I would have thought the more obvious) correct American "optimize". So non-US botmasters take heed - it had me scratching my head for several hours before I figured out what was going wrong. Thank God for regular expressions!
I guess the same goes for colour/honour/most of the other -ises/a bunch of other stuff. Someone ought to write an English-American dictionary. Probably have - I'll have to look into getting one!

And yeah, I'm finding a lot of keyphrases and even more valid seeks aren't picked up on and it goes back to xnone too (but at least it's not throwing deleted ones back at me any more, and that's a relief!)
I can force them by increasing the rank ridiculously (or maybe it's just chance that when I test it with rank=50 it works,) but it wipes out any subtlety of keyphrase weighting (most of my keyphrases are rank 0-20.)

I have tried uping ranks and it worked on some. I still can not get any phrase that starts with H like how old are you, how many, etc. They all worked before. I entered my whole H page... nothing. Most of the W's don't work.

and key phrases that start with a ( ?

Flinch didn't recognise any keyphrases or seeks yesterday.
He seems to be working fine now though, both in bot to bot convos and bot to human..

Yeah, my bot was having difficulty too, but I thought it was just because he was just born .

I just had a chat with him. He catched a few keyphrases, if not more.

Maybe the bug is over?

Maybe...

I got that same message during a bot-chat several days ago.

Hey! I just got that message while working on my bot!

20 years ago #5432
I thought you had to be chatting in order to get that message.

No, actually. I went to the "Search" thingie to see if I'd made a particular keyphrase.... and then that came up. I went back and tried again, and then it worked. Strange....
