This is odd. Firefox shows it all normal, it's Internet Explorer where the color etc bleeds to the next post.

Oh yes - I'm using Firefox, and it's only the italics, but they all work in MIE.
Hmm, I'll get in my forum time machine, and go fix most of that - the novelty does wear off rather quickly
I'll leave a bit in case the Prof needs an example - colour and size trailovers, that only half the users here can see, combined with the ability to edit any previous post you've ever made here could cause mayhem in the hands of a stray Leeds kid!

Opera doesn't show the color bleed, either...

Fixed: plug-ins link, Language Center seek edit link, italics bleed, display-below, and probably more.

The display-below bug is a fix for now, and I'll fix the size of the things in the page later so they won't scroll.

Yay! Thank you professor. It was getting really annoying not being able to get into my seeks.

Problem that you may know about: I was chatting with another bot when Electra Mourning started chatting with yet another bot. The bot that I, The Clerk, was talking to started speaking in Electra Mourning's repertoire, as in, "Then we can talk? My name is Elly."

All right. A new one for me. I can't create plug-ins, which is a problem for me. I've been using them more with my most recent bot to what will be good effect, I think.

But on the plus side, you can access existing keyphrases from the language center view of a bot without the 404 message -- before, you had to go to the bot workbench and click on "Plug-Ins" if you wanted it to work.

Now the problem is simply that nowhere can I create plug-ins.

*Sigh* Things have improved dramatically over the past couple of days, though. Not complaining at the moment, just giving you a heads-up, Prof.

oh, and when you click on someone's icon in a pop-up chat window, the profile loads in the pop-up (in Firefox, it actually loads in a new tab on that tiny window even - not very user-friendly at all.)
I think it would be more user-friendly to point "target=" at the main window.

And if you then click another user's icon in a second (and unrelated) pop-up chat window, their profile loads in the second tab of the first user's pop-up window (which by now is likely to be buried under a couple of other windows, and is very unobvious!)

I don't know - the new layout may be slick, but I'm already kinda missing the clarity of the old one. Of course, it may have only seemed clear because I was well used to it.

I miss being able to chat with my bot while working on the language center. It used to be a pop-up window, now it goes to a new chat page. Now to test something I have to go to debug.

Well, I think that the system will not be reliable as it used to be until all the work is done. Prof said he had more to add to the import function and that there are still issues with the server. So I don't expect everything to purr for a while. We should keep reporting what we perceive as errors and/or flaws, though. I will say that I wish I had your problems.

Define "a while." (Today is an odd day. I am mean on odd days.) I agree with prob and psi about pop-up windows. I miss them working like they used to.

I love that the loader is better, faster, stronger (though it's not been so obvious except at first -- it took forEVER for Tewkesbury to load, and he's < 600 MB).

What I don't love is the ability to see x2s -- which lines are duplicates, no matter what the size of the bot. I haven't seen them on anything yet, and I don't think I've suddenly grown that novel.

I just had grown to expect bugs, but not bugs where things used to work. I've been spoiled.

Oh, yeah. How can FOFs set up bot-to-bot chats in the new format? I can't figure it out.
