I would like to change the icon on my bot as it is a human and not a monster. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks
Bob

If you want a custom picture, first it has to be a cartoon style image and eaxctly 40 by 40 pixels. Jpg or gif format is best. Then you e-mail it to the professor, along with you're forge I.D., you're password and you're bots name.
Oh and it may take a while coz the proff is a buissy fella. LOL.

Not really what I was asking for. I just wanted to change it to one of the other standard options. Oh well, I'll just say it was a TRansmorgrifer accident

If you click on the new bot button, you'll see all the icons available on the Forge. Right click on the one you want and go as if to save it - you'll find out the name of the picture. Then email the Prof and ask him very nicely if he could change your bot's picture to that image (if you want to be sure, you can actually save the picture and send it to him with the email so he knows for certain which one you mean). Don't forget, as Mortuus says, your username, your bot's name and your password. If the Prof's in a good mood, he might just change it for you.

hi people whats goin on?

Hay there everybody. How you all doin'??

I think it would be nice to have, prominently displayed wherever a guest might go to chat with a bot, two facts:

1. The fact that if he repeats an answer immediately, he will get what amounts to an error message, and the conversation will probably be disrupted; and,
2.The fact that if he uses non-standard spelling or grammar, the bot will probably misunderstand him.

It is frustrating to see, in a transcript, the flow of the conversation distorted because of a repetition. Yes, they eventually figure it out, provided they keep trying.
It is also frustrating to see, in a transcript, the flow of the conversation distorted because of a misspelling. Sometimes the guest clearly does not see what happened, and blames it on the bot. Yes, there are some guests who will never learn the difference between "there" and "their," and so on, but there are also cases where it is clearly just sloppiness.

Alan:

Yes, I have actually written into 'Irina Khalidar' a warning about repeated responses, for just that reason, and I am probably going to add a warning about spelling and grammar.

Is there a way to search the forums?

not that I know of aside from manually

Alright their seems to me that my poor little bot needs alot of work. I would like to know what my bot needs for just the basics.

I would talk to your bot and advise you, but you don't appear to be claiming it.
