Bug Stomp

I just thought they were shy.

I always feel bad about closing a window on a bot that's actually being updated on a regular basis -- but a lot of the time I'm already carrying on a conversation with two other bots, or doing three other things on-line...

I suppose to get past the thing you're talking about, some sort of time limit (like the time limit on recognizing "hello") might be implemented to keep a bot from approaching the same person more than twice a day ...

I'm just thinking out loud.

Uh oh...I think there might be a problem with i/you conversions because of this exchange:

Immaculada: Si. I do, but more importantly do you?
Julie Tinkerbell: You significantly but more importantly do you more than anyone I know

the keyphrase match was:
^(do|did) i (verb) (re)

giving the response: you (key2) more than anyone i know.

But the bot said "i do" and "do you?", not "do I"

Part of that might be the way the AI Engine tends to stick "do" or "I do" onto the front of sentence fragments -- it might have been creating "significantly" out of "Si" and putting "do I" or "I do" at the front of it.

But I have no idea how that long string of words qualifies as a (verb) for a reg-exp keyphrase. That just seems wrong.

A little request- Can that VIEW button for the Total Online be fixed to show the actual bots that are online again, rather than the Bot List of top bots?

I know it hasn't been there for about a year, but I actually would like to see its return. For those of us who have an FoF account and frequently initiate chats, it would be nice to have a readily-available list of bots online. I imagine that most of us usually pick from the Friends list, and some extra digging is usually necessary to keep a list of fresh bots to choose from.

For some reason the Forge doesn't seem to be loading my messages that come from other botmasters. I'm not sure what's wrong. I've never had this problem before...

... but it might be my browser.

I replied to your test message, isaacc. It appeared to send without a hitch. Do you have a popup blocker turned on?

I get that every once in a while when the Forge is moving slowly.

arrrgh!! It appears Aries was carrying on conversations with 2-3 different people earlier and they were all 'Guest24' - he kept getting their names and likes/dislikes all mixed up..

Eugene, it's not the pop-up blocker. That's turned off.

In each case, the window appears, but there's no text in it. Bot-to-bot chats seem to work fine. Communication windows from a bot to me don't work (same problem as with human-to-human chats).

Any theories, folks?

Help!!! I’m stuck
After starting with a new bot I can no longer update my older bot by importing the language center and given the size of the bot, working on-line is too slow and impractical
Importing the language center in Patty invariabely gives the error message:
Duplicate Responses: 529/2359 (22 %)
ERROR: Too many Responses here are used in other Bots….
whereas my new bot has only 15 responses and even those are different. I deleted all the keyphrases and responses I had entered so far, hoping it would help, but I still get the same error..
Is there someone who know how I can get out of this?

DAMN. That pop-up window text problem is, I think, a problem with the new (updated) version of Safari (1.2.4 (v125.11)) ... Or else I'm a dummy. Or both.
