Bug Stomp

Ok, this is weird. I have a "what is new" keyphrase which just goes to "what is up", and one of my "what is up" responses goes to "how are you"...and when someone asks my bot what's new, she just says "goto how are you" (I have several other nested goto thingies like that, and none of them seem to mess up.)

I it just me, or has Sage the Mischievous Fairy been rampant these last couple of days? I haven't seen a two-bot conversation go past just a couple of phrases before she rears her ugly head. And that's from among 20+ conversations.

I think it's all related to the EndIndex bug I've been ranting about lately. Just a guess. There are certain phrases that almost guarantee Sage to pop up with my bot, including any time another bot gives her the "just born" line.

I'm getting frustrated because some very nice conversation beginnings are being cut short.

Sage has been showing up a lot with me too, but not usually after just a few messages. It usually takes 10 or so. And it's hard to tell if a specific phrase causes it cuz sometimes it's my bot's chat not getting through to the other bot & sometimes it's the other bot's chat not getting through. And of course I can't rememember all of that and looking at the transcript does no good since if it was my bot's fault the last message the other bot sent isn't on it anyway.

Onyx, our two bots were chatting about 10 minutes before you posted that. Each had one phrase, followed by Sage. Did you see the same?

I saw 1 message from your bot, sandwiched in between 2 messages from my bot.

Very bad quote mark bug:

If you use quote marks in a response, then save the response, then come back later to edit it, it can mess up the HTML in the edit page, making it impossible to edit the response further.

The input tag will have value="response with "quotes" inside"> and the string will be improperly terminated before the word "quotes." This can totally break the tag, and make it impossible to submit the form.

Is it just me or is every bot on twice again?

my bot was on 3 times yesterday

This is giving me de-je-vu all over again.

Kinda creeeeeepy!

NotKirby's not on twice, he just found my cloning machine.

Skysaw, apparently you can't use double quote marks at all. There is an explanation as to why, but it's back about 200-300 messages ago. Just use single quotes.
