I don't know if this is the right board to be writing this in, but here we go.

I've downloaded and used Wowreader with great success, but now I've hit a brick wall. Problem is this. My account here on Allakhazam is Mazra (duh), but so is my character's name in WoW and my account name too.

Because of this, I think, I can't upload stats on my Mazra character. I've had other chars in WoW with other names and there were no problems there. Any solution (that doesn't involve deleting account, char or Allakhazam-account) would be great.

That's a lot of questions, but here we go...

When I try to upload it does nothing, says there's nothing to upload.

Doesn't give any errors except it says nothing's there.

I'm 99.999% sure I typed in the right account name.

It doesn't appear to upload, simply says that there's nothing to upload.

I've had several other characters with different names than Mazra and they uploaded perfectly.

The characters are on the same server.

I tried fiddling with the Login preferences.

I'm not quite sure what to write as account and password at login (Wowreader login), but I've been using the name and password for Alla and it apparently worked out fine.

I'm guessing Wowreader can't upload the profile because the profile has the same name as the account it is supposed to upload it to.

So, well..

Err.. I don't know who did it, but my character profile just appeared..

Well, thanks I guess.. :S

Wow, the wonders of Allakhazam.

Update: Found the problem/solution.

WowReader will not load your profile if you merely log in, click you name or log on to your character.

It will however load your profile if you log in, choose your character, log on into the game, log out and then refresh WowReader.

The wonders of technology.

So you noticed too, huh?

You have to do something to 'update' your character or WowReader can't see it.

In my case I put Shadow Word: Pain and Entangling Roots on some squirrels, problem solved.

Thanks.

I seem to be having this issue, I have 3 characters that I try to keep updated. I havent been able to update my Pally for 4 levels. It has been a few weeks since I was able to update my main which is level 60.

I try only updating 1 character per login session where I have actaully playes for a while and yet it will not update. It shows there is data to upload but for the profile is shows nothing. See Below:

Login: Karelek, Profile: none waiting

Any ideas?

Have a new one....

WoW Reader been working like a champ... then since this last patch... (1300) it says it uploads, I *see* it upload, but my character doesn't change.....

its now 2 levels behind, old gear, etc etc etc. I don't know if this is a reader problem or something with the db backend....

Just curious if someone else has seen this ???

Tried that with the Pally no change, then logged on the main and went on a Raid. After I was done for he night, same thing. It shows data to upload, but no profile to update...

Login: Karelek, Profile: none waiting

Mine's been working fine ever since I posted here.

I just run WowReader in the background while playing and it updates the stuff on a regular basis (every time I log out I think).

It even works with the new patch.
