Similar error trying to do any "next day"s to Monday on all my bots transcripts:

All the same error, and I saw what was wrong and it should be fixed now. Thanks for letting me know.

If someone sees "me" misused, such as "Me are happy to see you", let me know- I now have an easy way of correcting those. Right now it's correcting "me are", "me am", and "me would".

You know those double pop-up windows? Not the ones between two bots, just the duplicate "Message from so-n-so" windows. Well, they seem to occur in Netscape and iCab as well. I get the impression it happens when we submit a chat message to a bot at the same time as the status frame (on the right) reloads. Perhaps the same javascript is being called by both actions? If this is the case, maybe just having the chat windows pop-up as the right frame reloads would be sufficient. Let me know prof.
I haven't tested this with Explorer since it sucks (in general, but) on this site especially because it hangs like crazy as I'm typing into chat windows. Other than the pop-ups, iCab seems to be very stable and is super-fast! All this on a Mac.

Explorer for OS X is awful with the hanging. I cant use it here.

As for the double-message error, I've tried and tried to fix that but to no avail. The right frame sometimes stopped reloading, so I cant have it based solely on that. It really should not be happening, but it still finds a way to do so. I'll give it another go, but not before doing something more fun.

By all means prof, concentrate on the fun stuff! I figured those double pop-ups were somehow related to those everlasting browser idiosyncrasies... especially if you've already wasted energy on 'em. There no biggy anywayz.

I just got an idea though prof! How about if you keep the pop-up JavaScript in the right frame and then just get that frame to reload when you submit a chat message. If it had by chance stopped reloading, submitting the chat message would then get it going again. Just a thought though, I wouldn't be surprised if you've tried that already too.

That could work. When I jump on that one, I'll give it a try.

Any time I try to move to another page in a forum I get logged out.

My bot won't use his Seek responses in the x-initiate keyword. (He seems to Seek fine in other key words). It's hard to test because my bot doesn't initiate with me very often. But when he does, I try to trigger the Seek words, and he just ignores them and goes to an x-none response.

I've noticed a similar attitude when watching my bot chat, I often end up dissapointed when I'm expecting my bot to pick up on a seek at the beginning of the conversation...
