I'm getting ready to release my first mission, and after reading all this I still don't know who to email to get my mission hosted. Please add that information to this thread.

FM authors (and beta testers) should be aware of the graphical mods that exist because they can cause some odd effects. For example, EP2 has new crate models, with some indentations in their faces. If an author has replaced the crate texture only, it's quite likely the texture won't match the shape:

There can also be problems if an FM has replaced the water texture. Eshaktaar's texture has 19 frames. NewDark has increased the frame limit, so the water in EP2 has 39 frames. The consequence is that some of us will see the frames that come with the FM, and then we'll see the remaining frames from EP2. At the end of the cycle we'll then see the FM's water again, and so on. It looks awful.
Those are just examples, and similar things could occur with the NecroAge and HDMod.
FM authors should also remember to unload NVDebug. When I start playing a mission it's annoying to get the 'no difficulty defined' message.
