Message too long" Then if your 429 character line gets picked up as a (key 1). boom message to long.

On the news page (link at the top-right), scroll down a bit and there's a box that says "Set Preferences." The third one down is "Bot Holidays." Note that this will only stop it for chats on your computer. If a guest or other user has holidays turned on, the bot will still participate.
PubDraught, I would like to echo Ulrike's reasons and add a 3rd: For some reason my IM window is half the size of it's contents so I see only the left side of the chat and no send button. I can't adjust the window size. It's probably some quirk or a Greasemoneky addon or something I added to Firefox. I just don't have time to figure it out now.
Bev, thanks for the comment. Who knows why these certain users have turned off their user chat... [sigh]
I was on earlier today at the same time with a user who I had chatted with on numerous occasions, and this user has had chat off for nearly a week. I was hoping the user would see that I was online and derive that I was trying to get hold of the user. I tried talking a few times to one of the user's bots, saying things like "why does so-and-so have their chat off" and "did I offend so-and-so", hoping this user would at least catch it in the transcripts and maybe contact me... but nothing. Ah, it's so frustrating not knowing if I did something or not and being powerless to do nothing but... sit...

Jackie123: Alas, I know of no way to turn that completely off. On the main page there is a place where you can be exempted from bot holidays, but it apparently doesn't always apply.
I know, it's frustrating when you work to give your bot a certain style of speech, only to have it messed up. And it makes it really hard to make revisions based on transcripts when the transcripts are distorted. And I found the "jive" holiday to be in rather bad taste. But in the end, YOU GET TO MAKE BOTS FOR FREE!!!

Happy Birthday Scooter.
And Irina/Jackie: The preference setting for holidays doesn't apply when the conversation is between your bot and another bot on the second bot's owner's computer, since the forge takes the preferences of the host ocmputer when deciding whether or not the holiday applies.

There is a recurring issue in bot-to-bot chat with long responses triggering the error "Message too long" and causing chat to end. The workaround to continue chat is to back out of it, but it would be nice to have a solution- especially since the long responses that trigger the error appear in the chat window but not in the transcript, making it difficult to report in detail, either here on the forum or to the other botmasters. One suggestion would be to limit/reduce the number of characters allowed in the response field of the language center below whatever limit is being exceeded to cause the error, if anyone knows what that limit might be...
