I've tried a <body scroll="yes"> tag, but I can't seem to get it to scroll. Here's what I've got.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
  <body bgcolor="#000000">
    <div style=
    "width: 100%;font-family: tahoma; margin: 0px auto; font-size: 22px; color: #ccc;font-weight: bolder; padding: 10px; text-align:center;">
      The Flaming Head GM Server<br>
      Garry's Mod Eight v3
    </div>
    <div style=
    "color:red; text-align:center; width: 100%; font-family: tahoma; margin: 0px auto; font-size: 18px; color: #ff0000;">
      Rules:<br>
      Please Read!<br>
      <br>

    </div>
    <div style=
    "width: 100%; font-family: tahoma; margin: 0px auto; font-size: 12px; color: #aaa; padding: 20px; text-align:left;">
      <ul>
        <li>
          <font color="#ff0000"><b>SEX POSING WILL RESULT IN A
          PERMANENT BAN! NO WARNINGS!</b></font>
        </li>
        <li>
          Also, painting or spraying anything that might be
          considered sexually explicit or offensive, will be
          banned.
        </li>
        <li>
          No cursing/swearing.
        </li>
        <li>
          Don't ask about the previous rule.
        </li>
        <li>
          If you want God Mode to be turned off, or Cheats to be
          turned on, please supply a <b>GOOD REASON</b>.
        </li>
        <li>
          <font color="#ff0000"><b>DO NOT SPAM</b></font>, spamming
          <b>WILL</b> result in a permanent ban.
        </li>
        <li>
          Deathmatching is <b>NOT ALLOWED</b> without permission.
        </li>
        <li>
          Racism, hacking (of course), or otherwise ticking me

          rules, leave now. Otherwise:
        </li>
        <li>
          Have fun!
        </li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Any ideas?

EDIT: Oh yea, with this, all I get is a regular grey windows scroll bar (not a HL1 type scroll bar) and the scrool bar wont move!

try just adding your html to the default motd.txt without the scroll argument

Your page is not valid xhtml. Unless you know what your are doing I would stick with HTML 4 Transitional. Use the validator to see where you went wrong;

It's now valid (HTML 4). Only now the MOTD is invisible. It doesn't show up at all. Just a window with an OK button.

Code:

it has to do with too many characters in the <li> elements.

i was having the same problem with long lists... short lists work fine, long lists cause the whole motd to disappear. not sure what the fix is.

the motd has a character limit, not sure how much tho,

to fix it just open the page as a remote page,

like this:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=http://members.iinet.net.au/~cdeegan/srcds_html/motd.html">
</head>
<body" scroll="no">
</body>
</html>

you don't have to do that much; just put the URL in the motd.txt and it will automatically load that URL
