This is not the correct forum for that sort of question. Have you tried the Jolt forums?

Admin can you please move this out of the TCS Forum please?

I think I understand....

edit motd.txt to something like this:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT=".3; URL=http://www.mywebserver.com/motd.html">
Put an actual webpage at http://www.mywebserver.com/motd.html (http://www.mywebserver.com/motd.html) with the MOTD info you want to display.

When people connect, it will force forward to your webpage and be displayed.  You'll have to play around with the HTML to get something that fits comfortably in the MOTD window.  Mine works, but I don't know the specific dimensions, only that I got it to work.

Yes it was your first post. Most people make their first post in the Hi I'm new here (http://forum.deadmen.co.uk/index.php?showforum=43) forum and hang around to get the feel for the place.

Your first post is regarding a server you run on Jolt so you thought you would post in the dMw forum to get some help for it?

Doesn't make much sense to me  <_<
