PureBasic Forums - English

I know it's about the PB code... but SED for Windows:

I am clueless to how that typo ended up there. But yes, that works. In ChatGPT web client itself, still a no can't do. So back to zero. It can retrieve content from my own domain. So maybe it is careful about phpBB forums with a lot of user content or whatever. But it does work with a random other ...

We were basically under ddos attack by AI bots, so I added such user agent checks. It seems to be back to normal, so it's removed for now, but I will put them back if it occurs again.

User-agent (or any kind of blocking) still is active. ChatGPT and Claude and... can't process user requests for ...

Any update? User-agent blocks are still in place for sure.

Claude.ai also can't access any topic. Worse that none of this was communicated and I blamed the other party because of a incomplete previous answer 'no robots.txt blocking' is in place.

After some research I figured out the commands ChatGPT uses when you ask a question like "What is https://www.purebasic.fr/french/viewtopic.php?t=19404 about?"

However, it cannot retrieve the information. Fred says he does not block ChatGPT, but I have proof that somewhere it is indeed blocked ...

No all is similar between the forums

I know, but do you have IP ranges blocked or user-agents?

MS messed up big time with their GUI framework. Apple knows how to update and maintain its UI and keep it consistent across the OS and apps. MS? Nope. Every modern framework is an over-engineered inefficient mess. WinUI3 also goes nowhere and is not even usable from plain C.

Update
ChatGPT user browsertool can accesss

The Robots.txt needs adjustment, that is for sure. ChatGPT can't access it:

I couldn’t fetch purebasic.com directly here (blocked by robots.txt)

Too bad, because it is the main resource of PB syntax rules and solutions. @Fred!

I ran this code and now all ATM's nearby in a 6km radius stopped working. How to fix?

I would be interested to see where and how to start with building an editor without external editor building blocks. Agree that Scintilla is complex and has buildin limitations too.

Yes please, low hanging fruit.. which already fell down and rotten away.
ps it would be nice if Fred would just mark stuff as DISAGREE or AGREE and add to public flexible roadmap.

Any way to get this into v6.21? PM if needed.
ps forum is extremely slow. (edit: reboot? everything speedy again for now)
