I've had the same problems...been trying to post hands in SS the last couple days. Anyone? Bueller?

There's a new link. I don't have it handy right now, but if you use bison's converter, just delete "Texas" at the top of the HH, and it should work.

Apparently the story was that hoster's ISP started complaining that his script was using too many system resources (are the strategy forums big enough now for a "2+2 effect"?) and renamed his script pending a rewrite for it to be more efficient. (Which I don't think he's doing.) In the meantime, the renamed script still works [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It's not too hard to patch bison's script to work with the new Party HH formats. I'm hoping the new ISP I'm getting in a couple of weeks will have perl script support so I can provide a new host for the converter. Of course, if anyone else here has script hosting available, I'd be happy to email them the code so they could host it.
