Bug Stomp

I still can’t upload Patty’s language center.
For some reason the Abort button reappeared and I was able to delete my new bot. (Altough it’s name is still blocked as an already used user name)
But I still get the same error message!!!

Total Duplicate Responses: 529/2359 (22 %)
ERROR: Too many Responses here are used in other Bots...

I can’t believe it is Doll-379 who is provoking this because :
1) I never got this message before creating a third bot.
2) There are not many changes in Doll-379 since last upload
3) Trying to restore Patty from the last working backup gives the same error (even a higher number 560/2462 (23 %)
4) I can upload the language center of Doll-379 without problems

isaacc: I can remember having the same problem several months ago. It lasted two or three months and I stayed away from the Forge for a while. Since I'm still using exactly the same browser settings as I did that time (and everything obviously works fine for me), I've never found out what caused these blank windows.

However... I would suggest using an alternative browser for the Forge until the problem is solved.

Isaac:

Sometimes I get blank message screens, but if I wait, they eventually show text. I minimize them and get on with what I was doing, and consult them later.

This was an inappropriate match to (definition), because "Julie's" is possesive, not "Julie is". Is there a work-around for this?

Ulrike: *aims a water gun at Julie's data processing center*
Julie Tinkerbell: Oh, I know you know what 'aims a water gun at Julie' means!

You could probably incorporate "julie is (adjartnoun)" into a few carefully written keyphrases.

at julie is (adjartnoun) should hit for your example, yet there probably wouldn't be many cases where it would trigger otherwise.

Thanks, I'll try that.

I would help you out with these things but, um...

These..... problems... seem to be due to misinterpretations........ haha... um... of your data, and so I would suggest picking up a debugger and working out this faulty data such that the AI engine does not misinterpret it.

Patty is working again, although in an older version. Irina gave me the idea of unblocking Patty by importing a version of the language center where all occurrences of "the", "you" and "your" are replaced with "thex", "youx" and "yourx". Afterwards I imported a backup of her last working Language Center.
Everything worked fine!
Moral of the story: Be careful when creating a new bot based on an existing one. Don’t cut and paste too many responces from one bot to the other at once.

...but before every update I have to re-import the version with the x's added. Some small changes to 4 responses gave Patty a hotness of 17601 !
Brrr. Do ghost-bots exist?

I've ntoiced that seeks after xinitiates don't seem to work. Has anyone else noticed that?

Prof, any progress on the Safari problem? Please keep me posted.

The "Last On" time of bots that aren't on-line seems to be tracking "local time" exactly -- as if each bot had only just hung up.
