Need help. Online Replays will not validate

Hi
For some reason all of the replays that has been saved on my computer from me playing online does not give me the option to validate them, this happen on both the ones I saved myself and the autosaves; thus I can never upload them to mx since it won't allow me (and they disappear from the dedimania records list). However, all of the replays which were made offline gives me the option to validate them and they can be uploaded to mx just fine. This has been going on since I bought the game last year but I didn't take it seriously and ignored it until I started to realize this wasn't supposed to be happening. (Btw I never had this issue with tmnf or tmuf, which is the reason why thought it was just me.

)

Why do you want to upload replays?
This is only necessary for maps played locally.
If you have done records on maps on servers that use DediMania, you don't need to upload replays for your records.
Of course if you want to submit your records for MX this is something different.
But usually, validation is only required for track editing.
Just upload your replays as they are, and it should be fine.
Or of which other possible validation are you talking?

Well the reason why I want to upload them is because my Dedimania records disappear for some reason so I have no other proof of having that time other than the replay. But when I upload them, mx gives me an error "Replay is not validable." So I cant do anything.

if the records disappear then you have probably a issue with your PC, e.g. that the automatic upload of record replays is not working.
Or that your PC is affecting the replays in a way that makes them invalid.
Could you please upload such a recent replay to DropBox or another handy file hoster?
And where do you intend to upload your replay exactly?

31785 is one of the tracks where it does indeed show I have dedi but it won't let me upload it on mx.
I would have a better example but the guy who made the track didn't upload the track on mx.

I figured out why my dedi record times were missing, but still that does not help figure out why my replays will not validate.
Edit:
Here a replay for the track I listed above.

you still did not provide any of your replays so someone can look into them...

I uploaded different created replays to track
31785 and
32891. Manually saved and from AutoSaves folder, online and offline, without problems.
Both tracks have Unicode characters in their filenames. Could it be that your browser in not properly configured?
The character coding should be set to auto detect and have to be Unicode (UTF-8) in case of Mania Exchange.
