Cannot Play Downloaded Maps

[Joss]

After I download a map from THW, I place in the Download section of W3 Maps folder. The default file name it gives me, well, in example, I downloaded The Path of Ashes. Its default file name is 20%The20%Path20%of20%Ashes20%. WTF? So, I changed it to The Path of Ashes. Didnt work. Changed to TPoA. Didnt work. Can anybody tell me whats wrong? I use Vista, if it matters.

If you cant see the map=name of the map is too long try changing it to something like
ThePathOfAshes or TPOH so it would be seen.

Did you not read my post at all? I specifically stated that I tried shortening the name to something smaller, but it didn't work

If you're on Vista, turn off UAC and see if it works. If it doesn't it isnt a vista problem.

The %20 is HTML for a space or something. Do other people have problems with the map? It could very well be the maps problem, and nothing you can do.

If all else fails, try downloading a different map and trying it out. If it doesn't work, then something is messed up.

No, the map is fine, I've played it before on a different comp. That time, it had been download off of B.net from another host. This time; however, I am dling it from THW. This is not the only map I've had problems with, btw; I cannot play ANY of the maps I've downloaded from THW.

Nvm, just called Blizzard. They straightened it out. Apparently, I need to save the maps to my Desktop first, then drag them into my Warcraft 3 Maps folder. Btw, I dont think the map name size matters anymore, cuz I had this as its name and it still worked: The20%Path20%of20%Ashes20%, and it couldnt be seen all the way on the screen, so...

Well, if you have this problem, try my solution (see above). If that doesnt work, take my advice: Call Blizzard. Their phone number is 1-949-955-1382. They open at 8:00 AM Pacific Time, and close at 8:00 PM Pacific Time
