If you want to submit a replay to File Universe, just click the Upload File link on the tool bar. Remember, to keep Storm and Gnome happy, you have to include the Version number of Spring, the Map you played on, and the Mod you were playing with in the title. If you dont do this, your replay will be deleted with out furthewr notice, as the people at File Universe are sick of un-named replays.
Replays can be uploaded to [http://replays.springrts.com/ replays.springrts.com]. Uploaded replays can be commented. The uploader can edit the description and tags. To upload or comment a Spring lobby login is needed.


A good example on labelling replays:
If you wish to discuss a match with other players, just give them the link to the uploaded replay.


'''{{CurrentVersion}} AA 4FFA The Cold Place'''
A testing site is available at [http://replays.springrts.com/ replays-test.springrts.com].


This is pretty simple to decipher.
SPADS autohost owners can configure SPADS to automatically upload all matches. For instructions read [https://github.com/dansan/spring-replay-site/raw/master/README.replay-upload README.replay-upload].
*'''{{CurrentVersion}}''' means that it was from version {{CurrentVersion}}.
*'''AA''' is the mod. In this case, it is Absolute Annihilation.
*'''4FFA''' is the number of players, and the team configuration. In this case, it is a 4 way Free For All. Other common names are:
**'''1v1''' A One versus One game. These can be quite good.
**'''3v3''' A Three versus Three. Two teams of three players battling it out.
**'''2v2v2''' A Two versus Two versus Two. Three teams of two players battling it out.
**'''3v2''' A Two versus Three. A team of two players battling a team of three players
*'''The Cold Place''' is the map. In this case it is, logically, The Cold Place. Some maps are typed out in full, while other maps are abbreviated. '''CPIA''' is '''C'''ore '''P'''rime '''I'''ndustrial '''A'''rea is a commonly seen abbreviation.


This gives sufficient information to read and decide whether to download it or not, yet its small enough not to clutter things up. You can provide a more detailed description in the description section if you so desire.
If you have trouble with the replays website please contact Dansan at the [http://springrts.com/phpbb/ Spring forums].
