Bug Stomp

TheSeer... I have the same problem with Internet Explorer (NCSA Mosaic(TM)) and the chat windows. You type a response, the window vanishes and never comes back. If I attempt to do a refresh, I get the LOGOUT window asking me if I'm certain I want to logout. If I press the cancel button things tend to get a bit unstable for a while.

Recently I discovered that pressing on the TRANSCRIPTS tab, or doing some kind of "activity" on the site, will force the chat window to come back. So now I just give the bot I'm chatting with some time to get a response out, then click on the TRANSCRIPTS tab to see what was said. Strange isn't it?

And talking about strange... I had placed a joke into my xNone area for some humorous filler and evidently the joke length must have been too long for a response?

What is the maximum length for a response?

ja--
The chat windows do that They disappear, and then come back when they're good and ready, AKA when the sidebar refreshes. It's set to do that at a steady rate, but maybe some browsers don't like the refreshing code.

Max response length? Not sure, might be a standard MySQL length such as 255 or 1024, but again, I don't know.

i know it's nothing, but my firewall flagged the bots talking together as a URL_Directory_Transversal, intrusion attempt, and killed the window. i've never seen it happen before.

There is a bad import bug that keeps the import from working in cases where a goto statement references a statement that begins with a (. Here is an example:

(who|whom) are you (going to|planning to|trying to|planning to) [0,0]
    goto (who|whom) will you

Convert Goto: goto (who|whom) will you

ERROR: Gotos with paths like (are you/Yes, are/yes) need to target a Seek. The first element is the Keyphrase, the second is the first letters of the Response, the third a Seek, and so on. The minimum to reach a Seek is three elements, and it must always be an odd number of elements. Error on: goto (who|whom) will yo)

Ew! *stomp* Ack why won't it squish?? *stomp* *stomp* eeeeek it's too big! Prof, we're going to need your can of bug spray for this one!

When going into xmemory to update the default phrases I get this message after I click on add or enter "This keyphrase already exists for your Bot. To add responses to the existing keyphrase, click on the name in the language center".

I am not in the keyphrase section or even adding a keyphrase.

Here you go prof. I am getting a lot of strange returns. Pol keeps mistaking 'huh'? with other phrases.

tandora: Huh?
Polaris Funk: Thats because I am the most interesting thing in this conversation.
(should be a response for ^you are (re))

and another one:
Tryphaena: Huh?
Polaris Funk: Hey mi amigo! Not a whole heck of a lot lately. Whats up with you?
(should be a response to 'what is up')

He actually has a few responses set up for the 'huh' - but is not using them.

Thanks !

For some reason, Julie was responding to food plugins as if they were "Do you have pets" keyphrases:

Old Geezer: My aunt was a Cucumber too.
Julie Tinkerbell: Which would you prefer as a pet, american alligator or bone-headed dinosaur? I don't have any, but if I could have any pet, it would be Hornet.

Old Geezer: Would you like a hamburger?
Julie Tinkerbell: I don't have any pets, but I've always wanted a woodchuck.

Old Geezer: Would you like a hamburger?
Julie Tinkerbell: I used to have a pet anchovy named Caroline, but she ran away with a motorcycle cop while I was in Texas.

That could turn into something realy embarrassing ezzer- lol

to jawaldron: i am talking about when the windows do come back they are blank. i have to select the "reply" window not the main window and make it refresh to see the reply.
