Nice 1, thi would be a great added bonus...
It might wake up some of the members

Update: It only happens (the doubling of posts), if the same user talks again to Hubert. If another user talks to Hubert it works fine. But if the same user "answers" to Hubert, he will double his "pre-post".


Another strange thing: If Hubert answers, of course he is at least for a moment the last poster in the thread. On the searchresult-page (getnew/getdaily) it shows up correct Hubert as the last poster. But on the frontside-overview it shows the last human poster.

In fact i like it much more this way ... with the last human poster shown on frontside. But it looks a little bit inconsistant.

But this is a small problem. The double-post-problem hurts more.

Another update: The double-post problem is not a real problem. It's virtual. It only happens when the same user answers again and uses the quick-reply-window.

But when the user refreshes the page the doubled post disappears and everything looks fine. It's just a little bit irritating.

(Voted this hack as hack of the month. Just because there is no "hack of the year"-Link.)

it doesnt seem to be making the database on mine? yet the loader is working but i get this

DONE LOADING
Inserted 0 categories into database

but no database etc any ideaS?

Same Problem here,tried again and again
BTW i am on shared hosting (timeouts or something ???)

Oops, apparently uploading ewt_talkerbot.php does help. My problems are gone now, as well.

eXtremeTim, you might want to include that in the installation guide. :)

This looks like a lot of fun.
I am at the point of installing the data and get this error:

Loading startup.xml

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\inetpub\bloodbanktalk\forum\alice\src\admin\bot loaderfuncs.php on line 305


Is this a host issue, and if so, am I stuck?

it is impossible to populate the database on a shared hosting

Ugh

Impossible, or difficult?
Instead of running everything at the same time, can I do a few at a time?
