    • Please post here if there is a problem with the scanners. Be sure to check for any existing Live issues here before posting.

    • You can see how the scanners are running by viewing this page TA Scanner Feed, you can find out which scanner you are on by hovering over the blue (i) next to your played games total on your homepage.

    • In the various times that Live is having achievement issues please check that the GamerScore/Achievement totals on TA and xbox.com do not match before posting here.

    • If you have unlocked achievements in a 0G game like Xbox LIVE Labs and Quake II please post here so that a full scan can be requested to pick them up for you.

    • Before posting that you're not being scanned please check that your profile is not displaying this icon where your TA score should be as that indicates your Xbox profile has privacy settings on for your Game History, click the icon for details on how to fix them.

    For me, the scanner doesn't like to update my gamerpic. I changed it over a week ago and have clicked the update gamerpic button almost every day, but it still hasn't changed. This happened the last time I changed it too.
    EDIT: and literally 10 seconds after posting this, it updates. wtf.
    Still, it took over a week, could you take a look at it?

    Sometimes the site updates the pic but you don't see it because your browser cashe needs refreshing. You can do that by pressing Ctrl-F5.

    TA Scanner 3 reports my gamertag as invalid all of the sudden. What's up?

    The problem lies with Xbox.com, we just have to wait until they fix whatever problems they are having.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    I was under the impression that you can request a scan twice a day, correct?

    Well if that is so, then the scanners must be acting up. Because I haven't requested a scan in about a week. I earned some achievements last night around 9pm eastern. I requested a scan, it updated my page like it should. But the scan button was greyed out like I had used two scans.

    As I type this, it is still greyed out. But technically I should have two scans available to use since its the next day. Any ideas?

    Are you hitting refresh after you request a scan? That will actually use another scan.

    After you request a scan, and you're ready to refresh, click on your name instead.

    Thanks NORVY! I didn't know that. I'll be sure to do that from now on.

    Scanner 2 has been acting up. I've twice forced an update today and twice I have gotten the message of the scan failing (in the area where it says when I was last scanned). I've noticed it picking up my new gamerscore but being pretty slow in posting in my mini-feed / updating TA score.
    I mean it's working fine, just not as it normally works for me.

    TA scanner 1, after a recent site crash/malfunction, decided to stop scanning at around 12:00

    Just so yakno and all.


    Seems like it finally decided to start scanning again although its looking pretty sketchy..Don't think its working properly.

    Odd problem with the scanners... I was updated at about 1230 UTC yesterday... except that I'd earned the Vidmaster 7 on 7 achievement several hours before, and the scanner didn't pick it up. About 10 minutes later I was looking for it, saw the Donator Scanner hadn't caught it, so I requested a scan. This time it picked it up, but I don't know why it hadn't before. I'm assuming the timestamp on the earlier scan was correct.

    I think it happened earlier in the week, too.

    A normal timed scan wont pick up a 0G achievement. (if thats the only new achievement, of course)

    The scanners (usually #3 or 4) get the achievements that I've earned, but I've had an issue over the past week or so where it will just keep displaying my status from the previous scan or just a hyphen.

    The donator scanner seems to have gotten locked up a few hours ago. Also, is it common to have to check the same user several times in a row? That seems to be happening often lately.

    Or is this an xbox.com issue?
