Yeah, I've heard of those things. Well, after I got chewed out for necroposting the day I joined, I always make sure to look at the last-post date before posting.
Random thought: Why don't spoiler tags work in the topic review window?
*fifty cakes fall out*
Time out for a second. That wasn't supposed to happen.
Because I never got around to fixing it. Maybe I will now. Only you and one other person have noticied, or at least mentioned it before.

I've been having trouble getting this map to load.
I extracted the The_Watcher_Chambers.zip folder contents into a new The_Watcher_Chambers folder (the automatic "Extract..." command procedure). I then placed said folder (not the .zip) into the Steam/SteamApps/<username>/portal/portal/maps folder and ran the Portal program.
I opened the BONUS MAPS menu option, scrolled down to The_Watcher_Chambers folder, opened it, opened the maps folder, opened watcher_chams (displaying the picture and the name "The Watcher Chambers"), and was greeted by the sight of maps 0-5, maps 1-5 being locked.
I clicked on "Chamber 0: Beginnings" and hit "Load".
It was at this point that absolutely nothing happened.
What'd I do wrong?

Try extracting to Steam/SteamApps/<username>/portal/portal/ instead of /maps. I had that problem before but now I can play most maps. Some still do what you said though 
It now works, thanks very much for your help.
There is a glitch(?) in Chamber 1: Boxed In where, in the lift room (shown in the picture), the Vital Apparatus Vent will occasionally, upon the loss of a cube, deploy TWO cubes instead of one. (Note: Both cubes will be clearly visible in the VAV when this occurs.) This occurred twice in a row, and so I was able to have THREE cubes simultaneously. Solving the room was fairly simple after that, but the point is, that shouldn't happen, right?
I had the same thing happen to me. Once both cubes are out, its easy to solve. But your right, I think its a glitch, its not supposed to happen.
it seems that your download link on the first page has stopped working, it just takes me to an ad site. i would really like to play these maps.
