We may have a Hacker trying to hack the site.

I've had a problem making maps load as well.

The extensions seem to be affected.

Looks like Hawk's site is down.

You seem to have done what was needed to load a map.

You are having a problem downloading files from the forum or from the website?

Has anyone downloaded a map from either the forum or the map pages and found that the map cound not be seen when you tried to open it for a game?

I had this happen to me with maps from the forum.  This problem may have nothing to do with the forum and be a problem with only my computer.

Gwizz, I just downloaded your RT3 "5 Great Lakes" map and it opened fine.

Thanks John.

I think the problem could be with my computer, although everything else seems to work fine on it.  If the site did have a problem, Jesse may have done some work on the site.  He is the expert in these matters.

Hmm... well I did upgrade the forum software to a new version but that was early last week I think. Might have had something to do with that maybe. Looks like it is working now though, might have just been a temporary glitch.

Gwizz, I read on the other forum how you are downloading/installing your maps. You did not mention anywhere that you also had to unzip some of those files. I had to do it with your map. Perhaps you are doing it but you forgot to mention it?

[Gwizz]

JSS,  I didn't mention unzipping. I should have.

Jesse,  It looked like the hack on hawks site was timed at least a week earler to also hack a backup.  So your upgrade may have been timed perfectly to kill the hackers program if it was set up here as well.

I've just updated the attachments so there is now enough room for more uploads.

Also, does anyone have a list of the maps that have been posted here on the forum but not on the website?
