There's always been word substitiution. The results often prove very amusing.

word substitution has usually been toned down, maybe to 1 in every 1-5000 possible occurences

Weird! A few minutes ago I tried to log in but couldn't, so I started doing a guest chat with LinBot. That went just fine, but I was surprised to see a popup from MondoBot!

Hi, everyone. People were talking about xfavorite a while back, and I'm also unhappy about my bots picking random favorites instead of the ones that suit their personalities. So I have a question:

Corwin said, "The system checks for xfavorite triggers before it looks at keyphrases. if it finds one, it goes straight to an xfavorite response without looking at your keyphrases. There is no way around getting random responses unless the order that things happen is changed. "

If that is true, what would happen if you just deleted the response from xfavorite? If it didn't have any responses to choose from, would it then let your keyphrases take over or would it futz things up?

Question with regard to (definition)...
How come "what is a ray gun" worked, but "what is a dragon" didn't? The second case just gave (definition).
I also saw hillside and some other words work... Is it because Dragons don't exist? ;-)

Maybe prof was workin on the system at the time? I know there was one pount when all the bots were just saying things with the (whatever) in it, not actually substituting them

Thanks Shady, think Bedawyn's idea works?

Another question -- not sure if this is the place to ask, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere else to ask. I have two bots, and one is working fine. But the other won't let me access transcripts. I know she's talked to me and to other bots both last night and today, but when I click on transcripts I get an empty page with "Forward 1 7 15" links. Clicking on any of those links just gets me another empty page. Any idea what's up?

I still say that keywords are triggered before xfavorites...

Trouble with transcripts happens regularly... it is somewhere, so keep searching.

And shadyman.. I think so too.. witness... search for keyphrase... nothing? xnone...

Bedawyn, is your other bot less than a week old? The transcripts page often doesn't get started for the first week or so.
