When I, or anyone, clicks MoTD, the MoTD page pops up, but does not display ANY of the MoTDs. However, on the daily news page, it still shows the most recent MoTD at the top. I noticed this recently when I first started to post MoTDs.
I am running game version 1.2.1+nb

Assumption: You wrote a MOTD that contains invalid content and breaks the MOTD window.
(HTML is allowed!)
Any other thing: It should work.
If you can open the mail window, the popup itself is working, too.
Check if you have the final version of 1.2.1+nb.

It should be fixed, but it won't be easy and it won't be fast. If you want
to help - wonderful. But keep in mind that it will take months of wading
through the ugliest code we have in the tree. If you've got a weak stomach -
stay out. I've been there and it's not a nice place.

1) Nope. it was all general text. no html, no code at all.
2) The popup is working, mail opens. the only thing is that the motd's dont display, ill check again and see if putting a new motd will work.
3) I should have it, is there any way to check other than re-downloading it and "upgrading"?

3) no, if you downloaded a non-final version, you have a non-final version.
a good start would be comparison of the changelogs (diff)
I might do "-dev" releases, but I am a bit too lazy =) if people download a in-dev version, they download one.
Mine do work, so I cannot figure out what your installation does not.
disable all modules that might hook into the MOTD (header-motd etc)

3) Okay, I now remember what version I got, and it is the final version(i had to wrack my brain). To be sure, I done a check. Maybe it has nothing to do with the core? perhaps theres just something that a fresh installation would fix. what do you think of that idea? like, something wasnt created right during first installation.
I do not think it is any modules, as i have removed all the modules that dealt with the MoTD and that did not work.

are you sure? check all hooks, by a raw sql query: SELECT * from module_hooks where location like '%motd%' then, remove ALL motds and see if it helps. TRUNCATE motd Add prefixes to the tables if you use them. |

Well, I done the first one and nothing came up, so I truncated them(such a fun word) and it didnt fix anything, just truncated all motds. and as for prefixes, as i dont know what they are or how to change them, they are the same, I assume.

Sorry - I can't help you then.
The Truncate did, of course, purge all motds. I stated that.
(remove possible error sources)
Another step would be to activate the PHP error messages on your host to determine any PHP incompatibilites etc.
Try a fresh install and see if the motd is working.

1.2.2 is a dev version - so note that you need to upgrade to a final.
1.2.2 is NOT a live server version - if you do so, your own risk.
