I'm trying to upload a TAS to UserFiles, but the file is .FM3, why isn't .FM3 a valid file type?

You have to export it as an fm2.

Yeah, but why isn't .FM3 supported?

I'm gonna go on a limb here and guess that it's a matter of hosting costs. FM3 movies contain a bunch of superfluous extra data (e.g. ,stored intermediate states, a.k.a. green zone) that can make them rather large. They could go as large as Mbytes or more. On the other hand, FM2 movies are compact and still contain all other people may need (inputs only plus some minimal metadata) to inspect your work.
