Back again with a small issue, the code below prints two messages, the first is supposed to add “marker” to the end of the message, the second prints the username of the sender and the message together. But as I said, the first is “supposed to”, it doesn’t.
it prints the following if I send “hello world” in chat:
markerworld
leviporton: hello world
instead of adding “marker” at the end of the message, it replaces the first six characters of the string. But why? Previous versions of my code (that couldn’t handle : s in the middle of messages, including D:) didn’t have this problem, and it’s causing checks further down to return False when they shouldn’t either. Please help.
