Hey again Smile.

You just need to find a free filehosting site that supports hotlinking (direct links to the file download). You can use www.hotlinkfiles.com or www.fileden.com if you don't mind the heavy advertising.

Just upload the file and then put the direct link to it into the custom url. You can also use a site called www.tinyurl.com to make a much shorter link to your file which makes entering the address easier.

Alternatively you can just attach the map to a non-stickied topic as the map list will not detect it. You then just need to enter the link to the file and sticky the topic when you're done testing.

Files downloaded through this method are private so its a very good way to test your work before releasing it to the public.

It should be in the download list as 'Add-On Mission Pack'. You can remove it as you would any other mission pack.
Also, if you re-upload a different version with the same filename and URL, downloading it will replace the old one so you dont have to keep deleting them after every test.

Does the mapsize happen to be above 5.25kb? There's a very common issue in which large maps don't install properly... You can try to reduce the mapsize by deleting any stacked galaxite etc, but as of yet there doesn't seem to be any way of getting around this bug.

Can I ask if you're using a new generation iPhone/Touch? Theres a chance that it could be a device-related problem...
