I'm really glad that Mark Twain's old adage applied to SHS once more. Well done on whoever made sure this repository of knowledge was preserved, when so many other forums with years of posting history have vanished for good in similar circumstances. Which leads me to ask - could someone assuage my feeble heart and confirm that there is indeed an offline backup of the entire site safely stored away on someone's HDD? Just for future eventualities... the Wayback Machine alas isn't really a feasible archiving options for forums.

By the sounds of it, SConrad restored the forums this time using just such a backup. Alas, there are some things broken with the forums now that weren't broken before we went down. The admins/staff have started something of a list, but unfortunately the couple of us who may have the knowledge/skill to attempt a fix (I'm not one of them) haven't gotten to it yet.
"Ok, I've just about had my FILL of riddle asking, quest assigning, insult throwing, pun hurling, hostage taking, iron mongering, smart-arsed fools, freaks, and felons that continually test my will, mettle, strength, intelligence, and most of all, patience! If you've got a straight answer ANYWHERE in that bent little head of yours, I want to hear it pretty damn quick or I'm going to take a large blunt object roughly the size of Elminster AND his hat, and stuff it lengthwise into a crevice of your being so seldom seen that even the denizens of the nine hells themselves wouldn't touch it with a twenty-foot rusty halberd! Have I MADE myself perfectly CLEAR?!"

I am glad to see that SHS is back. Thanks to all who made this possible!
In the Downloads section I am not able to upload a new version of my files. I searched my file an clicked the button "Attach File" as usual but nothing happens. Instead after a few seconds there displays the error message "No file was selected for upload".

The file uploader currently doesn't work; possibly because it expects working spellholdstudios.net subdomains, which we've lost. The server admin will attempt to fix issues like that as soon as possible.

Welcome back SHS among the living! It was pretty surreal for me to finalize my BWP install on the same day the site died, but fortunately it didn't turn out to be an omen. Not one of permanent woes at least.

If you need help getting HTTPS (using Let's Encrypt, so at zero cost) set up and are open to accept outside help, I'd be happy to make that happen

Some screenshots are missing, eg: Reveal Hidden Gameplay Options - Spellhold Studios (shsforums.net)
Project Infinity public BETA - mod manager for Infinity Engine games
Infinity Auto Packager - automatically generate and adds mod packages to GitHub release
Modder's Guide to GitHub - you cannot have progress without committing changes

I have a request to the admins - could you please help with providing access to the GitHub account https://github.com/S...s_for_SoA_-_ToB so that I can upload files and accept pull requests there? I am an official maintainer of the "BG1 NPCs for SoA & ToB" mod, but I do not have the necessary rights to update files on the GitHub account, which causes a lot of difficulties and I always have to contact Jastey or someone else to update

Just wanted to let you know that sometime in the last few days all downloads from SHS are popping up with insecure downloads on browsers forcing you to manually approve it and looking sketchy for no apparent reason.
Cheers!

Welcome back after summer vacation, everyone!
The past couple of years haven't been kind to us with the prolonged downtime. While some of the server-side technical issues persist beyond our reach, rest assured the forum Staff hasn't been idle; we've taken measures to allow our community to continue to grow. We'll have more information about that in the coming weeks. Hopefully, we'll get back on track!
Check back soon for more updates
