Due to upcoming changes the feature to upload playthrough demo files will be removed. It was never used much and the online world has changed a lot since it was added. People seem to prefer to watch video captures to demo files. I will remove the uploading form in the coming days. The demo files will of course stay available at [https://www.quaddicted.com/files/demos/](https://www.quaddicted.com/files/demos/) and I will add a dump of their metadata in that directory. ---

I’d rather you didn’t remove the feature. I look for demos at times and find it a handy thing sometimes. ---

That’s a shame. ---

As long as they are still available to download that’s completely understandable. But… I wonder what the “upcoming changes are”? Intrigued. ---

It is quite seldomly used: 18 2013 76 2014 16 2015 13 2016 13 2017 34 2018 22 2019 43 2020 13 2021 23 2022 Some info on the rebuild progress: [https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=7504#p7504](https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=7504#p7504) Once running fully, demos could just be uploaded anywhere, added as files with appropriate metadata and map/mod pages could list them again. ---

This is great news. I wish i could help code but happy to help in other ways: financially, promotion or testing when the time comes. ---

There I go, trying to help someone in lunchtime 23 okt 2022. Making a demo to help adding some light on a map question. These a tragic bandwidth urges. /P
