Bug Stomp

Sounds like a character set problem. Perhaps dash-dash has somehow been translated a long dash special character (em dash?) and apostrophe into a 6/9 open or close quote.

Oh, and I'm still not getting transcripts through email

I have had that happen before the sever change with copy and paste text..drives you nuts. but it gives you something to do on a rainy day.

I just wanted to say that the chat format looks very posh right now; much cleaner looking than before. Except for a few chats not showing up in Inner Life, everything is working great on Lisal. thanks.

In regards to the question marks - is this just happening on bots who are imported/exported? And if so, could it be that you're not using a simple enough text editor? Let me know the text editor you're using if you're getting those question marks.

More word-processing-based programs will use curly apostrophes and quotes and non-standard characters, which can cause confusion when being translated to pure text. I might be able to add a character translater function to the import/export page that could help.

I've never imported or exported any of my bots. It's definitely coming from the Forge itself on mine. They weren't there before the server change is all I know.

You?re a woman, I?m a calf.

It's normal apostrophes in the language centre

I've never imported and exported mine either... and it will be a huge amount of work to find all of those and translate them back. I think Lyric and Watzer's files are too big to export, fix, and import back, and even if I wanted to take the 10 or 15 hours out of my life to change it on the forge itself, my search feature on here won't search for a question mark, it comes up empty, which basically means I have to go through every single keyphrase on every one of my bots if I want to fix this. Is the data permanently ruined or is it backed up somewhere in the form it was before the forge server was switched? And, if it's not backed up anywhere, could the professor take down the restriction that does not allow those of us with more developed bots to import large-sized files, so we can fix the errors with a word processor rather than doing it online and waiting for a new page to upload every time we fix a response?

It would be nice if we could upload the larger bots..even if it was just in parts..like A thru C. or W's.. I only had a couple of '?'s that I have noticed. They were all in text that I had copy and pasted..I don't know if it was during the time that I was importing.

My approach has been to fix them as they come up in transcripts. That way I know what keyphrase's responses need to be edited.

That approach may work for a small bot, but BJ has over 10,000 keyphrases.
I've exported and searched the file for any instance of ?s (figuring that's where most apostrophes would present themselves.) I'm pleased to say there's no sign of problems so far.
I wonder if it could be some sort of code page glitch, since the fonts in chat seem to have changed?

I'm looking into the character problem now. I've changed the import file size limit from 800k to 4MB, so that should allow you guys to import. Let me know if that's enough. But before you manually correct it, I'm going to try to find the problem and mass-fix it.

The mail problem is perplexing me.. it's claiming to have sent the emails, but I dont ever see anything arrive in my box or spam filters.

I've changed the import file size limit from 800k to 4MB, so that should allow you guys to import. Let me know if that's enough

Many thanks! It's just enough to fix anything that might go wrong now, but BJ's already reached 3.9Mb so it won't be for very long. Any chance of a little more?
