Fleet Holding MOTD

hawk5pride

It's been cropping up for me (and other adminny sorts within my fleet) that our holding MOTD's won't take. Trying to edit them gives us no way to confirm the changes, and when we throw up our hands in frustration and check on the rest of our holdings, the MOTD's on those are acting up as well; either displaying a blank one, or showing one we know to belong to only one other holding. Is there a hidden "confirm change" button somewhere we're missing?

This has been broken for years. See the bug reports below.

There are two tabs where you can edit the fleet MotD: the "Overview" tab and the "News" tab. There's also a chat command called /Guild_SetMotD. I'll be damned if I can remember how these all interact with each other. In order to save the MotD in the "Overview" tab, you have to click on another element in the window; for example, an item in the "Fleet Activity" list below. Yes, I know it makes no sense.

The MotDs for the individual fleet holdings don't update correctly. If you edit one, it starts showing the same MotD for the rest of the fleeting holdings. This is a display bug only though. If you restart the client, the MotDs will display correctly again, until you edit another one.

By the way, here's another bug in the fleet window that has existed for years.
