Is it true that skillport no longer counts as promotion points and that the only correspondence courses you can take towards promotion points is in ALMS? My erb hasn't updated my hours in a week from the courses I took on skillport.

Yes, they all count toward points. Some of them count for college as well when you complete the whole course.

I tell logisticians to go there to prepare for their Lean Six Sigma all the time. It seems helpful, much more than the SOLE cert.

Heck yeah they still count. If you do the Microsoft Excel or Microsoft desktop certifications, and six sigma courses they can count as college credits as well... I always keep hard copies of the certificates. You could try talking to your s1 with the certificates, and do an erb update maybe?

PFC Thurston,
Check your ATTRS record:
https://www.atrrs.army.mil/selfdevctr/login/loginSDC.aspx?nexturl=student/TrainingRecord.aspx
If the Skillport Courses you have completed are on your ATTRS record you can bring them to your HR to have your correspondence hours updated. Make sure you are actually completing the Skillport classes by taking (and passing) the TestPrep module at the end of some of the courses.
I would also recommend looking into JKO courses. Many of them are eligible to be counted toward your correspondence hours.

I have not seen an message saying that Skillport no longer counting for promotion points. However ensure that you are completing all tasks in the skillport class you have taken too ensure you will receive the credit you deserve.

As of April 2015, they still count. It takes a little while for them to show up, but I've never had any issues. They are always there after a week or two.

SPC Elijah J. Henry, MBA & SGT (Join to see), the Skillport courses update based on a queue. If you do courses more often, your record will update faster.

PFC Thornton, the skillport classes take FOREVER to update to your ATRRS transcript. I don't remember how long it took mine, but I remember randomly getting emails like a week or more later saying I had completed them and then they were added to my ATRRS transcript.

JKO has point-worthy courses too. Just sort them by “DL” and those count for points.
