[QUOTE=MistyPanda;44738731]So what would I need to do?[/QUOTE]

Rename your motd file to motd.txt and put it in the ULX folder I think.

[Icejjfish]

Do you have a file called ulx motd in addon/ulx ? If not create a txt file called ulx_motd in addon/ulx. After you've done that paste this code in it.

<html>
<body bgcolor=#dbdbdb>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="width: 80%; margin: 0px auto; border: 10px solid #c9d6e4; background-color: #ededed; padding: 10px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Tahoma; margin-top: 30px; color: #818181; text-align: left;">

Any other suggestions?
Or
Any other MOTD like this?

[Icejjfish]

What is the txt file you created name?

[boxama]

Make the file "motd.txt" within the ulx folder. Alternatively, just re-install ULX and it'll fix everything. Groups will remain etc.

Here's how I do it; granted the current version of mine does more, here's a stripped version with some basic features: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/vgui/motd.lua.html[/url]
