I used up all my ideas on your last post on this but when you try to upload a line of text from the O'Club does that work.

Is the game installed in the "Program Files" directory and what operating system is the computer running?

so here is what else i have tried.

i put Hitech Creations folder in Program Files directory and still nothing.

i put it back in its original location and deleted all LTARkilz in the MOTD folder, then went in the game clicked upload and clicked to type a line and uploaded it again and it says retrieving LTARkilz.txt. still nothing. so i closed out of the game and looked in the MOTD folder and it saved it as LTARkilz errrrrrr i will just post a picture of it

Now my memory isn't the greatest but IIRC I used to get a squad message in TA even though that has the standard system TA arena message always up.
Tuesday, the 17th, I uploaded a text file and the squad message only became visible when using .showsquadmotd or going into the O'Club> Squads and hitting view. I am not squad CO in TA but have all privileges to upload and control squad activities.
Old rig was outdated and ran XP while new rig is up to date and running Win7.

The correct text is .showsquadmotd not .showsquadmoto .
