For a couple months or so now, I haven't been able to see SizzlingStats or Logs.tf in the ingame HTML window, regardless of the server I'm on. I think I can't see HTML MOTDs at all, but I have cl_disablehtmlmotd 0. I know it's not a HUD issue.
Anyone else experiencing the same thing or have a suggestion?

Does the window that usually shows .ss or !log open up or does nothing come up at all?

Try a different HUD or no HUD at all

The window does appear, just as it does whenever I join a server with an HTML MOTD; however, it is always blank grey, and no amount of waiting or refreshing seems to fix it.
This has been affecting me regardless of HUD, including default HUD.

Have you tried cl_disablehtmlmotd while ingame in the console and see if it says 0 or 1? Maybe its in your config but its not working properly?

I had the same experience on my old laptop. Only the window would pop up and nothing would load. I wasn't able to get a quick fix for it. I think verifying my cache worked for a bit then stopped working again. Super annoying.

double and triple check disablehtmlmotd.
open internet explorer and go to a webpage so it connects to the internet
(this actually has a good chance of working because TF2 uses IE to look at pages like this, and it can be blocked/non-functional if you haven't used it ever/in a long time)
make sure u don't have a security script/file which blocks it
EXAMPLE: "Create an empty file in your tf directory named textwindow_temp.html and make it read-only (this prevents the motd from being saved & loaded)"
if none of that works it could be something else related to firewall or your browser settings (most likely Internet Explorer) like maybe cookies
edit: DO NOT create a textwindow lmao. that was an example of how your motd could be blocked!!

Thanks for the response, wonderland. I checked IE and it wasn't connecting; I allowed it through the firewall and got IE working, but that did not fix the issue. I also lowered some security settings in IE but that didn't fix it either; neither did creating the textwindow_temp.html file.
Per yuice's suggestion, I could see FirePowered's MOTD after validating (I had no way to quickly test SizzlingStats or Logs.tf); however, as yuice also mentioned, it only works once before failing to load again, which then requires me to re-validate.

Sorry for necro, but I'm having this same issue, and I still can't seem to fix it. I have tried...
- cl_disablehtmlmotd 0
- deleting a previous read-only textwindow_temp.html I had had to initially block motds
- uninstalling/reinstalling huds, and using no hud at all
- messing with firewall settings
- launching IE and making sure it runs well
Also I have this in my autoexec (idk if that matters):

I still can't see .ss or !logs ingame - rather frustrating :c

so i had this problem recently when my computer got screwed up with some viruses and such and what i did was just had it checked out and had some anti virus stuff run on it and it was fine after that. If you have the money getting your computer in and getting it checked could help.
sorry didnt realize this was necroed my bad
