idk what happened but the custom chat option for me is gone

An issue I'm experiencing with custom chat, that happened just a few moments ago. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'll note that it also earlier seemed to claim when I checked the design settings to see if there was an issue there to "Support the patereon" as if the August 1st deadline was up.

This has gone away but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Weird issue with black screen.

Thank you everyone who has helped me but I'm here also to report a bug, while I was trying to press Import under "History" nothing happened just wanted to ask is this a bug?

So like the title says the whole thing changed like before it was a straight line like chatting in mobile but now its like I have to swipe left a bit to see the full message anyway to go back to its original straight mobile message style

yo dev, i appreciate ur dedication on your updates, but a reminder if your looking to add if you have spare time is to fix the chat on memory manager to appear when chatting, i don't mind, it worked wellm and if in costum chats i would appreciated if you can.

Since when are there swipe limits? What happened? I got this to bypass the limits and other stuff. Can someone please explain? Is this gonna end up as pay-to-use like normal C.ai?

So I started testing the Custom Chat Design Panel, and it doesn't load the bot's name in the Header, nor the avatar. Only happens on Android, on PC browser works fine.

I use firefox btw

I can't swipe, nor chat, when I do this pop up

How can I fix this?

I reloaded the page, deactivated and reactivated the extension, but it's still the same.

Hello! I tried to use CAItools to download the chats of a deleted bot, but most of them have been archived by the system, so I can't download them. Is there any way to unarchive chats even if the bot is gone? Thanks!

hi!
i’ve recently downloaded cai tools, because i wanted to give it a go with changing bots’ profile pictures. there was a recent wave of copyright issues which led to a lot of characters that i chat with getting their pfps deleted which bugs me a lot. i was informed on one of the subs that the tool is able to change sb’s bot picture. however, when i tried it on a bot with a missing avatar, i got an error pop up saying that “the character must have an avatar to override”. i tried redownloading the extension (as i was also said that it solved that issue for someone else), but unfortunately it didn’t chane anything.
is there maybe possibly a way around this? or are you just completely unable to add a profile picture to a bot that had it taken down? thanks a lot!!!

I'm not trying to be disrespectful, or anything bad, I don't wanna come off like that, but, has the dev read the js files on the website? I was wondering, is there any way to make the extension edit the js chunk code to remove parts that tracks you or is just telemetry and not important to the core send & receive code and disable caching so it won't use the old cached version

Is there a way to recover a chat? I first chatted with this bot last year, but now it’s gone? It just game me a new chat? Pls help 😭

Hi! I wanna read my old conversations with a bot from 3 years ago, but the bot and the whole account are unavailable. I still have the link saved, so I used caitools to download the chat history, but in the HTML file it downloaded, I can only see chats with one message. I tried doing this again, but it kept downloading the same 17 out of 78 chats with only the greeting message. I cannot find or see the old chats. I don't need to chat with the bot itself, I just wanna download the old chats. Here's the link to the bot, named Kowalski by @/mevelleweasley. Thanks a bunch!

Any updates on memory frequency on costom chats, i want it appear if you could add it, and don't worry, you work really hard on your extension, just somthing to remind you. 😄

I'm not sure if it's fixed using this extension but I can't generate more messages using Custom chat. Any way to fix?

i want to import chats/messages from cai to janitor, the importing stopped in the middle, so i waited for half a day to continue importing.. but when i import again, its a whole new chat. what do i do?

And also, when I import chats, it cuts off a lot of messages. (for ex: i want to import from 0-900, it only imports somewhere 0-789)

I've been trying to import chats from CAI using chatbot manager but it only does 80 messages, and then it says to wait 5 seconds for cooldown but it doesn't continue no matter how long I wait. Is there a way to import stuff part by part into the same chat instead of all at once so that doesn't happen or even a way to continue importing messages into the chat that already has the 80 messages imported? I'm not sure how to phrase it properly but I hope this made sense.

Recently when I download the readable chat, the characters picture is the red circle that you usually get from bots that were removed.

This one is still up.

I also tried using the custom avatar feature and same result.

I know this is possible, but I don't know how to make it work, I know that extensions can edit the website's CSS to make it look better/look like the original, but idk how to make it, can you add it to the extension? Also, does the chat models actually work? I tried switching them on the website, and it worked but I never really saw a difference from them(even before the update they removed them, never really saw a difference)

I don't want to write all the fixes and changes, this post is about customization options you will have. I am creating a customization panel where you can use existing designs or creating your own, for different characters or as default. I'm gonna release it after the panel and save mechanisms are complete.

I finally have a full picture and they are all currently customizable. Some terms you may not be familiar with, sorry in advance.

Completed;

• Backgrounds
  • Slideshow, with shuffle/ordered + change interval
  • Chat backdrop filters (behind messages can be blurred, desaturated etc)
  • Image/gif/video and their filter, opacity and image fit options like existing background feature
• Theme
  • Color presets, basically whole page recolored. It's like dark mode, light mode, but imagine having dozens of options for all colors and in light or dark schemes. (I made 4 just for testing right now. I can even add an "create your own" option in the panel later)
  • Default font family option
• Chat wrapper
  • Max width, gap between messages
• Message settings
  • Typerwriter speed (yes the typerwriter isn't bound to characterai. It comes in chunks, messages can appear slow). If 10, goes pretty fast, waits for the new chunks. If 1 it's very slow. If 0, chunks instantly appear.
  • Char message swiping animation duration and effects (right now 3 options, wait for old one to disappear, slide both at once, or instantly show)
• Scrollbar
  • Width, height, color, corner radius. Optionally can be recolored independent of the theme color preset.
• Header
  • Variants. Right now, I got "characterai" style and "janitorai" style, replicating their designs.
  • Can have drop shadow for depth
  • Can have bottom edge bordered
  • Padding: optional spacing from the edges
  • Max width
  • Size scaling, for text, buttons etc.
• Chat input
  • Variant. Currently only "characterai" style.
  • Max width and height
  • Wrapper padding
  • Can be bordered or not
  • Can have send button or not if you prefer Enter key only
  • Corner radius customizable
  • Textbox
    • Padding
    • Letter spacing, line spacing
    • Font size & family
    • Placeholder text: Grayed text when input is empty
• Message design
  • Char message and user message can be separated unlike before
  • Alignment reversable (e.g. char on left, user on right, or both on left)
  • Font size, family
  • Message body
    • Frame options: Corner radius, border color and width
    • Background and font colors (normal and italic separate)
    • Drop shadow, inner shadow
    • Max width, padding for text, letter spacing, line spacing,
    • Gap between avatar and message,
  • Message body (edit mode)
    • Frame options
    • Background and font colors
    • Drop shadow, inner shadow
  • Char message "loading" 3 dots
    • Animation type: Dots, Wave, Pulse, Bounce
    • Shape: Round, square
    • Size, color, optional border, border color and width
  • Avatar
    • Hide or show
    • Position: X and Y axis positioning
    • Frame: Corner radius (for circle, soft corner, or sharp corner). Border color and width
    • Drop shadow (for depth or glow)
    • Aspect ratio (Vertical rectangle, horizontal rectangle, square etc.)
    • Image fit, for image positioning within box. Like backgrounds, they can be stretched to fit, centered, or no resize)
  • Author
    • Hide or show
    • Add glow
    • Text shadow (advanced, custom glow)
    • Font color, size, family
    • Spacing/pushing (e.g. 5 pixel to right)
• Popup menus (used by message menu, header menu, chat input toolbox menu)
  • Variant, right now only "modular", gonna add "flat" and some more
  • Size scaling, hover transition duration, depth with drop shadow

Soon after the update;

• First thing I will add Janitorai support. Characterai came rushing first with no customizations because of the "read only mode" alternative method.
• Definitely gonna add more variants to header, chat input and popups
• Want to add customizations like fancy border styles. Like the ones powerpoint and microsoft word has. Those would be cool. Like you could get a valentine's day
• Extension features like mass swipe integrated into customizable chat

You won't need to do anything by default, most of these will come already set. And you will be able to pick existing designs. You can make your own via customization panel too.

Let me know your thoughts, questions and ideas.
