Did shppr make sure that the text file is not checked to be "read only"?
"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

Has he ever been able to upload them?
Try having him upload one you know works or has been uploaded before.
If it doesn’t and I kind of assume it won’t we know it on his end.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

sorry guys, problem solved. he had 2 installs on his machine for Aces high, but when he went to load the motd, it was from the one that had no MOTD files. i removed the unused copy and gave him a bunch of my MOTD files, and we tested them out and it worked flawlessly. thanks for the help everyone.
