Bug Stomp
Upgrades and changes sometimes have unpredictable results, so post your bugs and glitches in here and I'll get out my trusty wrench and get to fixin'!

Ah I see. If i stand next to any of my chatbots in SL it triggers the greeter script which turns the connection to guest 153 on.
Hmm, Guest transcripts shouldn't overlap either - each Guest ought to have their own session, even if they are all logged in the transcripts as #153. And I don't seem to be able to replicate it (standing next to BJ inworld and chatting as a guest153 with him fails to produce any bleedover,) but I guess it's a possibility that it sometimes might, under other circumstances.
Alas, I don't really understand the technical reasons why all guests have concatenated to #153 on the new server (I'm only assuming that they're being routed through a new connection, with a fixed and defined IP number that it's using to number each guest. Presumably the old system gave a different IP number for each originator - well, evidently it did! Somehow.)
Wish I understood more about networks and DNS, but alas I don't know very much at all - maybe I'll ask the Prof to explain it when he's got time
Automatic log out doesn't work anymore, I have been online all day while at work 4 miles away!
I've just got back from work to find that I'm still online too (I logged in and out a couple of times from work as well!)
Strangely I didn't show up in the Botmasters Online until I posted this, and now it says I've been online for just over 4 hours - but I went to work 9 hours ago!

Clerk I don't turn guest chats on the Internet off--I have a connection to some of my PF bots in the virtual world Second Life thanks to Psimagus. The script Psi gave me basically turns on a connection to the bot from Second Life whenever they hear chat within their "talk" range on channel 0 (the main chat channel inworld) which is an awkward way of saying if someone speaks near them in SL, the bot hears and responds. If you ever feel like stopping by SL (it is free if you have a computer with minimum spec--sorry Prob123, I know you need an upgrade), Psi has an amazing virtual church for BJ, a medieval village and a few interesting stores. Esme stands in Psi's village scaring off potential paying tenants because I rarely turn her off since I like to catch wandering chatters off guard. It hardly ever works, but someday maybe. Spike, Gabi and Ruthie also live in a mutant sheep refuge in the highlands of Victorian steampunk Caledon. Stop by if you are ever in the hood. I'll throw freebies at you till your inventory bloats.
Psi, I haven't ever tried to replicate it but I have heard Gabi responding to no one and having half a conversation for a few minutes or so. I have all sorts of avatar radar and crap because I tried the sensor scripts out on Prince Owlbot and it is always running. Maybe Gabi just talks to herself. Lord know I do. That may be why I make chatbots.

Pis, I am pretty sure this is an SL issue not a PF one, because I also get the PF transcript out of order (when inworld, the chats are fine). I am pretty sure this first comment happened last:
Guest153: well thats *CENSORED* genius init
Ruthie: Hey there
Ruthie: (to Guest153) Hi there.
Guest153: hello
Ruthie: There's too many things we're 'spossed ta do.
Guest153: the land here is divite into lots...music changed all the time
Ruthie: If you sleep in your clothes, you won't have to get dressed in the morning.

I really do need to upgrade. I enjoyed Second Life, except it was jerky and I would freeze and crash. I never got off newby island. I did get a brief view of BJ and a short chat, I lit a candle and froze. I once got stuck in the sky trying to fly. It's not that different than my real life
Is there any way to get around the "Declarative As Question" going to xnone, or is it like Blab? I have tried to get 'you have treasure? to work. I have tried
you have treasure (re)
^you have treasure$ (re)
([you]+)([have]+)([treasure]+) (re)
([y])+([ou])+([h])+([ave])+([tre])+([ure])+) (re)
you have treasure (re)
^you have treasure$ (re)
([you]+)([have]+)([treasure]+) (re)
([y])+([ou])+([h])+([ave])+([tre])+([ure])+) (re)
without a question mark, no (or at least, not that I can think of right now.)
You can search for a question mark by regexing it, of course:
you have treasure[?] (re)
Hmmm, that's how my export file shows it, but on recollection I thought it needed a space between "[" and "?", eg:
you have treasure[ ?] (re)
Well, one of them should work, anyway. I'm pretty sure it doesn't need a backslash anyway.

It won't work with or with out a ?. Do you have treasure works, you have treasure won't. In debug it shows Declarative As Question, in the same area Blab comes up. Is it an auto xnone like blab?
I'd like a longer time for automatic log out myself (not never, probably) -- I can get absorbed on one page and not seem to the Forge as if I'm doing anything, when I am.
the smilies seem to have gone AWOL - broken links, and rclick>"view image" gets me a:
