My MOTD is causing Gmod to minimise itself.
« on: August 23, 2008, 07:49:52 AM »
I have no idea how to fix this. It opens up fine then minimise Gmod then when you restore it you can see the motd fine again.

Here is my MOTD code.

Code: [Select]

<body style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: Black; background-image: url(http://www.killersservers.co.uk/Downloads/Garrysmod/motdbg.jpg);" alink="#000099" link="#000099" vlink="#990099">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="border: 0px solid rgb(255, 204, 0); margin: 30px auto 0px; padding: 10px; width: 80%; font-size: 12px; font-family: Tahoma; color: White; text-align: left;">

<h2>Rules</h2>

1. Admin word is law.<br>

2. Don't spam, spamming is an offence punnishable by perma ban. Report
all spammers to the nerest admin.<br>

3. Have fun, if you choose to.<br>

4. Don't Deathmatch!<br>

5. Excesive swearing will get you banned! Try to grow up people use
your grownup words.<br>

6. Changing the models of Life support or anything related to that will
get you a ban with no warning!<br>

7. Saying "Its not in the rules" is not a good excuse and will just
improve the chances of you getting a ban!<br>

8. Do not pretend to be a admin or be friends of a admin unless it is
true and do not try and use that to get your way!<br>

9. Remember it is a privilige to play on our servers and not a right.<br>

Did it minimize on the motd that ships with ULX as well?

Tried taking out any of the background image code or game monitor links/images?

Try taking out "target=_blank" from your links.

Source html interpreter doesn't have the full features of Internet Explorer, though it uses IE as its base.
I can't see outright what would do it. Those above are just where I would start.

I removed the links from the game monitor image since it wasnt really needed and that seemed to fix it  ;D

Thanks  :)

You may still be able to use it. Try closing the image 'img/ tag.
You have the <img src="blah">, but no </img> after it, before the closing of the anchor tag [/url]
No idea why it would minimize Gmod though.
Just a suggestion.

It started doing it again after the server reloaded and I removed the image completely and it still does it. Sometimes firefox comes up trying to download the MOTD file.

This happened to me when I joined any server; yet it stopped happening after I made GMod "Run in a window" instead of fullscreen...

This happens to me too on rare occasions.  (And I haven't changed the MoTD since between the occurrences) .  It has an image with link in it.
