I'm trying to upload a set of fake staircases, and I have a couple of issues.

The first is Step 7 - Category. The staircases use the double-repository method (i.e. the original mesh is referenced, as well as the recolours). I've put them in the Maxis - recolour category, is that okay?
Then is Step 9 - compatibility. The step covers require any EP other than UNI. What is the usual way of showing that?

Finally, I'm stuck on Step 6 - Custom Content of the Upload Wizard. It can only see one package, no matter how many times I refresh. It finds all the packages in the final step (Preview), but obviously the descriptions are unreadable:

By the way, is there a guide to the BB codes? I read the "formatting tiptorial", but as I can't reply to the thread, I can't see what codes have been used to create the headlines. I like the way they look, and I'd like to use them.

Sorry, I'm aware that's a lot of questions... I would have a weird upload for my first one, wouldn't I?

7 - yeah, Maxis recolour is fine since it's a Maxis mesh that's being used.
9 - Don't tick any of the boxes and explain the requirements in the text. If you pick a random EP to tick, then downloaders who would be able to use the stairs won't see them because they don't have the EP you ticked, so it's better to just explain in words in that situation.
6 - Don't worry. The unreadable descriptions are unrelated to the descriptions you type in - the descriptions you type in go into the packagedb for use when someone uploads a lot containing your stairs to MTS; the descriptions in the Preview come directly from the text strings in the file.
BBCodes are here : http://modthesims.info/misc.php?do=bbcode - you can find that link at the bottom of the new post/edit post screen, in the little box that says "vBCodes are on"

Are you uploading a zip file containing a Sims2Pack, or a zip file containing other .package files?

.package files

Okay thanks - it should detect all of those files then and show them on the custom content page. I'll have to take a look and see why it's not working properly.

Thanks, Delphy. Should I submit as-is, or can you look at it while it's still in my drafts?
