Online Profile Services Are Being Retired

After 10 years, SPAD.neXt is retiring the old Online Profile publishing service. This only affects online profiles — local profiles and online snippets are not affected.

Publishing complete profiles is no longer possible as of July 23rd, 2026 (Profiles → Publish Profile).
Existing online profiles from other users remain available until December 31st, 2026 under Profiles → Online Profiles.
After December 31st, 2026, online profiles are removed from the SPAD.neXt service database.
Please use Online Snippets instead of complete Online Profiles going forward.
Your local SPAD.neXt installation and local profiles are not affected in any way.

Bitdefender false-positive reports

There is currently a known issue with Bitdefender flagging the SPAD.neXt dll's as false-positive.

The only currently known workaround is to add an exception for the SPAD.neXt install directory in Bitdefender.
A solution is being worked on.
