removed issue of /townychat reload not working, it works as intended

The channels.yml link has expired.

I also wonder if MessageFilter, ChatControl might be to blame.

Because we were able to see get parsed we know that the channels' msgcolour isn't null, when a msgcolour is null we just replace {msgcolour} with "". That leads me to believe that the colour code was added, but was being removed.

Does either of the above plugins require a permission node to colour player chat text?

I'll test it on a local test server running just towny and townychat and see what happens.

Not sure about permission nodes but I was typing in chat as an operator so I shouldnt need any permissions. I think this might be an issue on my end.

I've got a PR for fixing the helpmenus that's already been merged, the code for message colouring looks good though.

Just switched the town chat from default to &4 and successfully got it to work.
