It seems the website is not working now: I tried to publish a new mod. When I clicked “submit”, the progress circle showed for a second and disappeared. Nothing was published.

@DodoNotDoDo could you take a look?

This might be completely unrelated, but when I attempted to play CBA (a mod) in AoE4 today, I realized that all mods I had downloaded were nonfunctional, and the search menu wasn’t working.

That should also be fixed now.

Make sure to always check all your files format. I had an issue on my mod where the thumbnail was a **.JPEG** instead of a **.JPG** and that prevented the entire mod to be published.
