Actually, the forum software is making that change to that 3-letter word for insect, because we have specifically instructed it to do that (via the censor). Since we use the forums for beta tests, we frequently need to search for the word '_bug_' in the beta forum, and the new forum software that was installed at the end of last year is not set up to allow 3-character searches like the old software was. So, every time someone uses that particular word, it changes to _bug_ so that we can search on it. Maybe we should add this answer to the FAQ, since it gets asked about so often?

that's a great idea!!

thought:
can the censor be told to change the word bbug to bug and that way if someone wants to write about the "insect kind" of bug they can use bbug and it will be converted to bug? and if someone is filing a bug report they still use the word bug which gets converted to _bug_ ?

Unfortunately, that won't work. The censor is not very smart and censors itself.

Okay, got a question Borg. Define "start clicking until it flies away" Does that mean click once before it's gone, or click repeatedly until it leaves the screen? I can tell I don't have it set right yet because a _bug_ just flew in and wasn't ackowledged. And just before that a butterfly flew in and came on the collector as a different butterfly.
I'm sure the problem lies in my setting the Offsets, so I wondered if by clicking repeatedly if I was doing something that messed it up.

you are doing it right. the program doesn't seem to work right for everyone. not yet anyway

Oh, okay, I'll keep trying. BTW, I didn't say, but that's on my work PC-Windows XP 32bit. You already know that worked for someone else with that system. So it's definately me.<BG>

Ref: Borg:
Yes I am 32 bit ans windows xp prof. my pot have no soil or water i did down load lates one i like the idea of not having to put soil and water. thanks just wont find my pots


revised the routine to find the current _bug_ to look in more places. please download new version from same link,
http://www.box.net/shared/65o9t9lbl9
and see if it can find your current _bug_

lucas - if it can't find your pots are you filling them with enough water (all 15) and also are you on windows xp with a 32 bit processor

Lucas, first you click on Tool, Then Find Pots Offset.
Follow the directions on the screen that comes up, especially making sure that the water is ABOVE the A in WATER. That should do it.

i have been trying this out but can not get the alarm to sound when _bug_ appears and i have it set to all bugs
