MOTD

How would I make it so if I type !motd it would show up the steam in-game browser to go to a specific link?

ULX doesn't bring up a full steam browser, BUT, to bring up a URL, copy your server gmod/addons/ulx/data/config.txt to your gmod/data/ulx folder.
Then open it using a text editor, and change the motdfile setting from ulx_motd.txt to <the url you want to load>

Gmod's/ULX MOTD code may be broken at the moment, AND, it doesn't do well with dynamic code within the page (expandable div tags, etc)
Source ingame limitation I think, probably for security reasons.

I've tried redirecting it to a link, but it wouldn't work :(. Guess I have to wait for a fix from Garry?

It is broken across the board. File or Website, it doesn't matter. We'll just have to wait for a fix, unless someone comes up with a workaround like last time.
