Actually that begs a rather important question - do we need to go through our bots' responses, and outgrade all italics to this new standard? I use a lot of italics in BJ's responses (especially in chapter and verse bible citations etc.,) so I suppose I ought to go and check.

But I can't be bothered - I'm still reeling from the fiasco, and I'd rather get back to discussing more theoretical matters right now anyway. Anyone else who relies on italics a lot might not be so minded though, so if you use them - better go check they work.

If you'd like to tell the rest of us, I'll be very grateful in a sleepy and distracted kind of a way

That is great for the bot responses, what about the guests? I have some multi colored, strange looking transcripts.

I just noticed it's only on IE, Firefos is fine. But a guest typed in for bold print and it effected all the transcript for the day. I don't use IE often so it doesn't make much difference.

A guest did effect my transcripts on firefox by using bold type.

Yes, the italics problem affects bot chat, too. But now that I know how (thank you, Psimagus), asingle "change all" command will adapt an entire bot to the new convention.

Sorry, I am thick as a brick. How would I do that for a guest chat?

I just meant that you would download your language center, and then do a "replace all" from

less-than /i greater-than

to

less-than 0 greater-than


. That wouldn't fix other<0> people's bots, of course!

I find that the AI engine is stripping out my less-than 0 greater-than or just having it show up as "My favorite color is Red. < 0 > (spaces are just so they show up on this post)

Crikey! I haven't experienced that yet!
Are you preceding the "Red" by the complete three symbols,

less-than i greater-than

? I ask because it looks as though you are writing

less-than red greater-than

.

I will add spaces so ignore them. < red > Red. that works fine. It's closing it so the rest of my transcripts are not red. It never used to happen. I also never had a user effect the appearance of my transcripts by using bold type or increasing the size of the font.

I read the transcript of one of my bots and he said something that is in the language center of his "sister" bot but is not in his language center. It's pretty weird because he and his "sister" bot have wildly different personalities. Does this really happen?

Mia, That's the "channeling" bug we have been mentioning on and off. The Prof knows about it and he will probably fix it when he has time (I think--I never bother him by emailing--I am pretty sure other do talk to him though).

I have a keyphrase that works on Bildgesmythe, from long ago. I tried it on Kobal today and it won't work. It still functions on Bildgesmythe.
there is * saying (*)
self: remember "(key2)" as "sayings"

Kobal doesn't seem to be adding any self memories today. He was working last night.
