After performing the census, i exited the game came to the main page of this site. I clicked the upload your data button; then I clicked the browse button on the site, and used the CensusPlus.lua file from the following path:

C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\<Login ID>\Khaz Modan\<alliance char name>\SavedVariables

I then clicked process file and got the error i submitted in my previous post.

I really think it's because i am behind a firewall router. In fact i am alomst 90% sure it's the reason, because i had trouble downloading the patches and went to the official WoW site where i read an article about how to set up my router firewall so i could download the patches easier. After i set the parameters given in the intrustions, i haven't had a problem.

this is the wrong path..

use this path: World of Warcraft/WTF/Accounts/<name>/SavedVariables/CensusPlus.lua

P.S. I just tried logging into the game and submitting the file with the same result:

File appears to be valid, checking your version number.

Checking your file

I was unable to determine what version of CensusPlus you are using. The latest version is 3.2. Please download the latest version and rerun CensusPlus. Your data will not be accepted unless submitted using the latest version of CensusPlus. You can get the latest version here :

Thank you for your contribution!

I have mulitple char under the same login id on multiple servers - so my path only varies slightly from yours - i am trying to upload from a specific char on a specific sever - so my path should be fine

i have also mutiple char, but the path is the same.
open the lua file with an editor and u will see what happens

Kind strage that i only did a census on one server - why wouldn't it save the data under that servername\charname?

I try not to mess around with stuff i don;t really understand - UI coding with .lua and xml file is one of those things i really don;t understand - so i usually stick to the rule "if it doesn't work delete it, and see if there is an up to date version"

It is exactly what you are supposed to get.

The saved variables under your specific character directory pertain to your interface settings.

The saved variables files under your account directory contain data from your addons. All characters on all servers write to those files. If you do a census on another character, or another server, you'll still upload the same file.

This is why it is recommended that you purge or prune your censuses. Otherwise, the files will become un manageable.

I purge the census on all servers that I don't actually play on, and I keep the census on the servers that I play on. That helps keep my file size down, but it allows me to see the census information in game if I want it.

No, the only way to reload the UI is:

Log out and back in (logging back in is not necessary for saving the file)
Issue a /console reloadui command
Issue a script command of ReloadUI()
