You can start a thread here, as well as post in The SE4 Mod archive.

To actually upload the files, just below your password box is the Attachment field.
Click "Upload your files", and the attachment field will be filled in automatically.

Be sure to compress it in a common format, such as ZIP. Otherwise, it will take forever for modem Users to download.

-<P&N V2 AI patch>- (V2 only, for the AIs included in ZIPs from v2.0 to v2.3, prevents rare RCEs)
-<Download P&N Classic>- (The final release of P&N v1.x, just extract to your SE4 folder)

Ok, I tried that again, but I kept on getting an Invalid attachment message. When I hit upload now, a "bunch of numbers.txt" file shows up in the attachment field, even though I'm loading a .zip file. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

That's what happened to me, and it worked. Try posting with that in the field, see what happens.

The "bunch of numbers" attachment is for the cases where you upload multiple files.
The bunch of numbers just points to which of your files you are attaching, and its perfectly normal.

"Invalid attachment" probably means your upload got corrupted.

Just to check: you are uploading a nice .ZIP or some similar archive, rather than individual files, right?

I don't see that your upload worked, thubar2000. Please make sure that you're not hitting "Close" on the upload window - it might take a while to close on its own, but if you close it, it won't go though. However, it does work...

About the upload manager:

for me, I upload my files, and when they are done, it changes to a blank white window. I "X" it and my files usually work.

Before, it would change to a "upload successful" message with close as the only option.

The close button! I'm hitting close, because I didn't know that it was supposed to close on its own. Doh!
