Problems with uploading character infoFollow

Not sure if there is a workaround I am missing, or it's a current issue in the process of being resolved. Sorry if either of these are the case.

When I manually upload my character info from within the Lucy item collector, my data is NEVER overwritten. A new profile is simply created? I now have two characters with two profiles recorded and a further character with three profiles recorded

Additionally, although the surname is captured and shows on the detailed character profile, it does not show on the listing of all characters (Your characters link on the lefthand menu)

Apologies for bumping this, if it's against forum rules .... but....

This is bugging me and I simply hope to find out if this is an acknowledged issue and it's currently in the development roadmap. I considered this profile updater (as well as giving the site ownership value by uploading database items) a great premium user added value tool; but I'm afraid it's causing nothing but frustration at the moment.

I cannot see any info posted by the developer for the past 2 weeks despite a number of issues being raised on this forum

Thanks for the response.

No I've not changed anything? I am working on the mem-reading method as I have an external alcatel usb modem, which is the only way it would work for me.
I have manually uploaded the profile after a play session and it has duplicated entries in my character lists. What I did do was to make a manual entry into the character to re-enable the info on expansions owned and select 'make public'.

I'll retest again, see if it makes a difference and let you know :)

Sad to say problems are still happening.

I deleted all my characters, loaded and camped them, then uploaded all profiles using the item collector 'upload' buttom in the profiles window.
I then updated each profile to indicate the expansions I owned and made public to alla users. It included this profile:-
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/userinfo.html?char=392278

I then played this character some more and again completed an eq session. I selected this character in the profiles window and once again clicked the upload button (is this wrong?? will it upload automatically after doing this once only??)
It created this profile:-
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/userinfo.html?char=392280

I'm confused, once again all servers have been deselected as well as the make public

I noticed that on the first, the server wasn't correct. Is this why when it recognised it for the second upload, it created a different profile ?

Confused

added with edit
Just reviewed all my profiles uploaded as mentioned above. Every one of them except the last has put my server as 'any' instead of 'Ant Bayle'?

Arghhhhh

Skilled up 2hb, so i could check that the profile had been updated correctly, camped then selected 'upload' from the profile window.

A third profile was created with some gear missing ??
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/userinfo.html?char=392291

It seems that as soon as i change ANY details manually (which I have to do to select the correct expansions and make public), subsequent updates cannot recognise it as the profile to be always used to update further.

Please help

Update: Just logged on again. Zoned a few times, clicked on upload after training some new skills with GM. Second profile updated :- http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/userinfo.html?char=392280 This was the one i'd hoped would have updated when posting this message. hopefully the above was some anomoly.

Thanks Ralea

Working superbly now

My character is on Zebuxoruk and when I use Item collecter it always comes back "Server unknown" under the profile listing.

Because it's unknown, I cannot upload the data to my premium account.

Using WinXP SP1 - tried both memory and pcap modes.

Assuming perhaps there is a spelling error maybe in the Server name and is causing it not to synch?

Thanks in advance.

Lanys is fixed now, and Kael is added. It looks like the downtime on the 21st changed the server id numbers for Zebuxoruk and Ayonae. I'll update the itemcollector within the next day or 2 to fix them.
