I'm lost???

from WinCustomize Forums
I'm trying to upload a Sins of a Solar Empire Galaxy Map (.galaxy) file and the upload option takes me here. I can fill out all the info accurately and all except for the Skins input box. I downloaded a couple skins to just get one that I thought was most appropriate but you can't "browse" them from your HD and I notice I have no skins in my profile?!? What is the skins thing all about. Why do I have to have this to upload and share a Sins Galaxy?!? Someone please help - also figuring out where other user submitted galaxies are would be nice. I only see the one that was made for the walkthru. Thanks, ~JO

Sorry, I realize I'm being a newb, but if the skins input box is just a title, why do I keep getting an error message that my map wasn't uploaded because the skin was not the right type (not the exact message). Says something about checking the extension, etc. That's the part that is throwing me for a loop too because there is no Browse to files?!?

Thanks,
~JO

Ahh . . the problem sounds like you are not uploadign a zip file.

First field is title.
Second is Catagory (your only option is "General")
Third is a jpg (a screenshot of your map)
Fourth is the zip file of your .galaxy
Fifth is your description.
Sixth is tags.

Make sure you are filling in every field.

What browser are you using?  There should be a Browse button after fields three and four.
