Thread: Signature not updating crafting

So I know that problems with signatures updating have been thoroughly documented and posted about... And the signatures certainly seem to be updating much more instantaneously than a month or two ago. However, I do have a question... I decided to change the profession of my main to Explorer after previously progressing him through Artisan as a Jeweller. Meanwhile, I created an alt and designated him as my jeweller... Why is the crafting progress on my signature not updating accordingly? Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. I was an explorer and recently switched to a jeweler, but it still shows my explorer skills. How often do the signatures update?

Guys, I am having the same problem. I'm Explorer and it's been many days I reached Grand Master (6 / 6) for all craft, but I do not see my signature update. I'm looking updating my level, but nothing happens to the craft. For Prospector and Forester I became GM at least a few weeks . What can we do now?

My regards to all,

Me too - no updates - nope - nothing - nada.

It's likely something in the myLOTRO data collection. Crafting levels are not updated in the LOTRO Herald iPhone app either, so it's not just a signature image issue.

Aside from this sig being broken (Guild-Kindred Supreme Woodworker), I checked and none of my characters have updated crafting in at least 2 months...I have Kindred-to-Guild Supreme Cook, Supreme Tailor, Supreme Scholar and Supreme Farmer (along with others at 4-5 and at least allied to their guilds). All the sigs are broken in that respect, regardless of getting daily updates on the character's basic level.

Yes, it doesn't make much sense that the character levels are updated when the crafting skills are not.

I know it's been this way for at least two months, something is wonky somewhere in the system HOW WILL PEOPLE TAKE ME SERIOUSLY WHEN I AM 5/6 CRAFTING??????

I actually changed my signature away from the readymade one, they started to annoy me...they're so big and you can't have more than one character included.

I have been asking the same, for like 2 months I have had all my crafting maxed out but yet it still says I havent touched my cooking, weird you would think they would have fixed it by now

Oh well guess there kinda busy now so no way they will fix it any time soon...

I have same issue I am 6 for Weapons and Prospecting and show 4's. My other toons are tiers 4/5 and showing nothing!

C'mon Turbine!

Same here, crafting not updating, while lvl (and kin rank) do... as if anymore examples of the problem or needed. It hasn't updated since my free trial back in July 09, and i've started playing again (with interupts do to a terrible computer) since f2p!

Any updates on this? I'm also noticing my PvP rank and rating are not updating at all... anyone know anything?

Somewhat related to this: if you transfer servers, your crafting experience doesn't come with you as far as your sig is concerned. I hit SM in all three professions shown in my sig* shortly after MoM launched when I was still on Silverlode. Ever since I transferred to Elendilmir, the crafting portion of my sig has been blank.

I'm not terribly put out by it, just thought I'd note it.

Assuming that Turbine sticks with the plan of adding a 7th crafting tier, I'll be interested to see what happens to my sig as I level up the new tier - if anything happens at all.

*Heh. I forgot that it doesn't even show profession names either, sorry. SM WS, WW, and Prospector.

This might be a stupid question, but do you have to be a VIP to get the crafting in the sig? I've never had it and just wondering why, Plus my sig or character stats on mylotro have been updated for a bit too.

Im having the same problem, I've been playinf for a few months and at first when i was on firefoot the crafting never updated at all and then i started playing on laurelin and with my new character it still doesnt update.

Does anyone know what's causing this?

Crafting on my sig is not being updated as well. I've got expert (at least) in farming and cooking but there's nothing to see here. BTW, I'm a free player, don't know if that makes a difference?

he, hope you've solved your problems,
but i can't get it, how you a picture in the signature?
i wanna have the same with the lord of rings image!

same problem with mine....hmmm any solution?

My character stats on this site were updated but still no crafting

I have the same problem, just added signature, also using for my kin site, but crafting is blank

Same problem. From looking at previous posts it seems that the issue is widespread and not only limited to f2p players.

This is still a beta site remember and it isn't surprising to me that problems such as crafting not dynamically updating in signatures exist. It's probably not on the top of their to-do-lists and we'll just have to be patient and wait for the problem to be sorted. If anything it'll be a nice surprise when one day you post and see your sig displaying fully updated information.

Same here. My signature seems to be behind even the migration from Codemasters.
Mine should be 66 65 66. An update after Isengard would be nice.

That's not a stupid question at all... I am a VIP. I have alts that were Kindred with their guilds prior to Rise Of Isengard launch and to this day, all their signatures show NO sign of crafting progress at all.

I have not seen a crafting update in a long while. On my sight that shows crafting via the xml feeds, no updates have been made since the Euro-merge. Levels have updated though.

Same problem it should say 66 36 66. However the Sig. always says 10 00 20. My guess was because of RoI new crafting tier, but apperently people have had this problem says spring of 2011. W T F

Hmmm, yeah my signature shows zero for crafting but my character is at least Supreme in Prospector and Forester for Explorer.
/shrug

According to my character log I advanced Scholar to 3 2 on the 18^th of March 2011. Since then there has been no updates to crafting levels and should now be showing 7 7. The Level & PvMP rank icon updates correctly why not the crafting?

Please Devs fix this!!! It's been over 7 months and I would like my signature to auto update correctly for all toons.

Kind regards,

Last post was in Oct, and many, many more beofre that...and it STILL isn't fixed? I'm 7/7 6/6 7/7 (Metalsmith/Tailor/Prospector)...but check out the sig...

Innocent Questions: Do the Dev's read and reply here? Is the forum the only place to request things here in the site be fixed?

Between this, Kim Avatar, Kin journals, Blog pages, etc... there must be another way to get their attention on these "beta" issues for the Kin and personal pages.

I am still meandering around getting some footing while learning the beta site. Forgive me if these questions were already asked and answered.

Read yes. Reply - If they feel like it. Which is not often

Pretty much.

The problem is that there is no commitment from Turbine management to allocate the dollars to get the staff and resources to fix the problems. Hence the Beta logo which means the services were launched to live with known defects that are considered acceptable for all time.

That being said Turbine has a too small staff dedicated to adding new features and fixing things that break. There is more work that the staff can ever do. It reminds me of of car repair business that has 100 broken cars in the storage area. They are getting 8-12 more each day. They have enough staff to do the daily cars. The 100 broken ones need a lot of work. They do not have the hours to make much progress on them. The owner keeps saying fix the ones that come in each day. Do not work about the ones in the back lot too much.

Thanks Yula!

Does anyone know if they are writing their own code, (creating the board from scratch) or using a premade board from another source?

EDIT: Never mind found my own answer - its a premade vBulletin board using Ajax. Don't think they need to pay a host of us nerdy types to fix it then.

What they should do is disable all things that do not work, and then fix them on their own time or find alternative different plugins.

I say this as someone who runs a similar style network.

I don't think this is a signature specific issue. If I am right, the signatures rely on the data.lotro.com api. This api _should_ be able to deliver information about the crafting skills of any chraracter, but at some point in the past, this information was removed. This is the reason, why no information about crafting is updated, or displayed at all.

So, the real quesion is not why the signatures don't update, it is: Why was this information removed from the API?

Fussed around with my signature tonight to see if I could nudge it to update my hunter's "cook" crafting status. The short of it is... /tantrum, /shakefist nope. I'll work on it t'morrow during downtime. Got more crafting to do.

Been awhile since the issue happened on the forums and I'm sorry to say I too am having the signature crafting issue. I look so pathetic and lopsided as a player this way. My real stats are...



Tailor: 5/3

Forester: 5/4

Prospector: 4/4


-I mean those levels aren't ideal but it's still better than what's displayed.

~Bump

Been Westfold for a few months now. Still blank.

Boo!

Nope, no crafting updates. I'm working on guild membership for cook, but pfffft. Apart from the fact that my toon is lvl 72 by now (has been for several days) and joined a different kinship in the meantime, but apparently that's not updating anymore either, along with the lottery recognition.

I see it's still broken. My displayed values must refer at least to 8 months ago. No changes at all. Well, nevermind, as long as I can still craft everything in game. :P

Hello all,
First time Post .... but i see that the sigs are still not updating oh well.


Gunman

The sigs have updated (I'm no longer 69, and the level-up to 73 was almost instantaneous, which was a nice surprise!), but my crafting is still blank. Hum.

Same with me, I'm giving the devs patience because they're currently working on important stuff like bouncing weapons... (sarcasm intended). Cmon turbine this has been an issue for how long. Fix your stuff........ Or at least have a dev reply to the thread for crying out loud.
