Well, as we can read on the page http://www.personalityforge.com/newsall.php, the Prof set the session timeout up to 40 minutes on May 24, 2012, but it seems to have gone down to 10 minutes or so since.

Tester323, depending on your browser, it might help to log in in a different window, and then use the Back function of your browser in the window where you worked on your bot. Or, you open a PF page in a different brwoser window (and log in there, if you aren't any longer).

There is also the way to export your bot's mindfile and work on it offline, then re-import the modified file. (I personally use Notepad++ for this.) Working offline has at least one further advantage (additionally to no more problems with session timeouts): you don't have to double every backslash in the keyphrase you're working on and in every single response to that keyphrase.

Hey ya'll just started and I don't know how to chat with my cousin using this. Know how???

Well..... the intended way here at the Personality Forge would be, you create a bot that is as much like you as possible and send your cousin the link to it, and/or your cousin creates a bot that is as much like him/her as possible and let him/her send the link to that bot to you.

If one of you encountered issues with a bot, you could address each other by the built-in chat function, just like you'd talk to a bot here.

If you want a direct online chat from human to human, I'd recommend any human-to-human chatroom on the web, or download your own chat software and run your own server.

Hey guys! I have some basic questions that I might of mis-read in the FAQs or book of A.I. Sorry about this!

1. Does clearing cookies, cache, etc., have an effect on me or my bot? I feel like everything is hardwired into the Personality Forge's database, but I'm just asking this JUST IN CASE.

2. Is there a way to back up your bot? Another JUST IN CASE question. I probably overlooked this too, sorry!

You should download your bots language center often. There was a server failure once that lost a lot of info.
Cleaning cookies cache etc won't effect your bot.

Hi everyone! I'm new here, but quite ambitious nevertheless
I have 2 questions today:
1) Is there any way to search existing forum posts to see if my question has already been asked/answered?
2) The "Book of AI" section says that I can enter
tags into my responses and the HTML will be rendered. I tried this in my "Seek" response; but after I enter the text, all HTML tags disappear and no breaks are rendered. Is this a known bug, or is there some other trick to it? Thanks!!

Ha... funny... in my post above, I actually typed the break tag < br > and it became a new line there. Yet it doesn't seem to be working in my Seek response...

@prob123
Oh, that's scary to know. Based on how much time and effort I'm putting into mine, I'll probably be doing it everyday now.

Thanks!

Maverick Martin try importing the < br > sometimes that will work.

Ok. I haven't tried importing yet, but I will give it a shot. Thanks, Prob!

Hmm... ok, I tried importing with the < br > tags. Unfortunately, to no avail. After I imported, my tags were again stripped out of the text. I also tried anchor < a > (link) tags; these were removed, too.
It's not a big deal; just kind of annoying. I wanted to create a menu with one entry/link per line.

If you chat with Korrolan and trigger his xnone, he will eventually ask you if you want to see a menu of characters. Answer yes and he will show you the [unsatisfying] result
