I'm new here so forgive me if this is in the wrong place or if I'm missing something obvious.
I'm wrapping up the coding on my first mod and as the kind of person who likes to do a dry-run, I went to Downloads > Upload File and clicked the dropdown list to select a category. Unfortunately, everything is greyed out. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your interest in hosting your mod at SHS, and congratulations on your upcoming initial release!
If you want your own sub-forum for your mod, as in "official hosting at SHS", you'll need to submit your mod to the SHS admins and staff for review against some long established criteria. Back in the day, anyone and everyone could upload a mod to the "Miscellaneous Released Mods" category which will automatically generate a support topic for that upload. However, for various reasons this has been changed in recent years and now only Admins, Staff, and people with the "SHS Modder", or "Modders" tags can upload new mods. If you want do discuss the possibility of either of these options, feel free to send me a PM. However, due to the recent and not-so-recent extended downtimes SHS has experienced in recent memory and the current state of the forum software, we strongly recommend you consider uploading your mod to a reliable version control hosting service, like GitHub, and then start a support topic for your mod here. If you are interested in your mod being associated with the official SHS GitHub organization instead of just a personal account, I'll need to consult @skellytz as I don't recall the specifics of the optimal procedure for setting that up. If you would like assistance uploading your mod to GitHub, we might be able to accommodate that as well.
Please let us know how we may be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Sam.
