I have seen a bunch of cool custom maps for Red Alert 2 that I would love to try out, but I am unsure how to import them into the game so I can use them. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?

Yep it doesnt have. Its working perfectly btw and even download maps by other players. The only thing is that I cant manually add maps through that Maps/custom thing.

Tell me which maps (and from which link) are you trying to add so that I can try to add them to my game when I get a chance. There might be something wrong with the maps themselves. There were several maps i downloaded from a link given by a player since the upload from player to server thing filed. Anyway, as much as possible the best fix would be to have the server upload thing working.

Also, I noticed that if theres a new map successfully downloaded by a player from the server(upload by another player) the player should reconnect to see the map. Otherwise even if the player had successfully gotten the map and was not able to view the preview, that player will not load when the game starts.

Ra2 and yr didn't have map folders at release. At least mine didn't either. And still doesn't now. I just stick my maps in the red Alers 2 folder. It's cluttered chaos, but it works. So i just put all maps at the ra2 folder not the yuri folder regardless of the extension? I wouldn't advise placing all the maps in the Maps >Custom folder, as some may be corrupt and the rendering might break the client.

Do a bunch at a time. Custom maps for CnCNet YR online can be put into your game directory in the folder >Maps >Custom. For any other online, move them out into the root of your game directory (where ra2.exe and etc live). Ra2 and yr didn't have map folders at release.

BTW i noticed that in my Yuri Folder there is a 'Maps Yuri's Revenge' Folder. Inside it were PNG previews of maps and maps I think but its file extension was.maps.

This is a list of 40+ maps i have made over the last 10+ years. I rarely play anymore and have not made a new map in about a year but figured i would share my maps for others to enjoy. Check them all out and tell me what you think. If you got any new ideals for a survival map or even a map that is broken let me know. Boppin The Blues Midi File on this page. I might get around to making it or fixing it.
