Maybe you could try FireBox for displaying the actual web-pages, or try to work around their concept. http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?t=327935

Which concept are you wanting?
I have no wish to make this addon a full fledged 'type in a URL' web browser.
The release says it has fixed scroll bars, and I might possibly look into that.
However, the notes later say, with big red sirens, "Don't message about scroll bars, I have no control over that".
Sounds like the author hacked his own for the main window, but couldn't fix Source's actual scrollbar issue.

Well, one thing that I really like about it, is that you can press the back button.

I probably won't add any extra browsing functionality.
To be honest, adding in URL ability was so that a single page could be viewed. Possibly use direct file links from a page to download addons, etc.
Adding back buttons (or any other browse buttons) goes farther past the team motto of "Striving for simplicity" than I intend.

Not saying never. Just unlikely.

The scrollbar "fix" in firebox is to wrap the page in an iframe.

If you wish to have full browser functionality like firebox, then why not just use firebox? The Message Of The Day is designed for just that, a message. Welcoming your users, explaining your rules, etc... It's not meant to be a browser.

Then go post it the firebox thread requesting a fix.

How come players can't click + follow URLs/links on pages? That would've been a very neat feature.

Would it be possible to implement this? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Edit: Just read posts above - does this mean it simply is not possible to use links?

You have to use html to put links in pages. Should work fine as long as you do it right.
Simply pasting in http://blah blah won't make it a link (and I don't plan on making autolinks, for various reason)
Google "html anchors" for how to add links to html.

The SVN just points you to UClip now after the server change. Any ideas? I need this for my script!

I've not looked at this code in a while, and at this point in my personal life, have no time or motivation.
I can't guarantee it will work with all the recent GMod (and actually, a few key ULib updates.)
It can suffer the same usermessage issue after a map change that ULib once did, due to it using what was believed to be a safe player spawn command.

After reading the thread again there I don't think you would want the download at this time there Zenox as in the post above yours Jammin says it's most likely busted.

Our SVN url changed, some months ago. (See, It's been a while since I worked on it)
http://ulyssesmod.net/Umotd/trunk/
Try that instead. Not sure a user/pass is required anymore. If it asks, use anonsvn:anonsvn

Feel free to try it out.
Telling me an error might, at the least, get me to update it to work if not put any extra features/optimization into it.
