I have a private channel I use to keep track of locations, items etc.

I have a number of items that I put into the channel, which do not appear to be alot (269/4000 characters)

but they do not appears in the channel itself.

Heres a photo of the MOTD in channel configuration

and heres a photo of what acutally shows up

Its missing the revelation and the moros ships... but some other things as well. I deleted a vast majority of what was in the channel before, hoping to fix the issue, to no avail.

Seems like a bug?

Yes, its a bug - I've found a workaround, after the last entry in the MOTD, add a space after the link.

As of yesterday (12/11/2012) the MOTD has been acting up again - it is truncating and or deleting parts of my MOTD, specifically near links.

I log back in after changing the MOTD, and a complete link + text is replaced with left angle bracket slash "color" right angle bracket.

omg - I have to write out what it says because the forums can't handle html ..........
