Im trying to setup a Flash banner signature. It has no sound just a small animation and will be hosted on my server. I've asked 2 Admins for support on this but it seems they only reply to messages to threaten me (when they dont like my topics). Anyone know how or if this (flash banner) is possible?

no, but since its got no sound just convert it into a gif

The animation is too long for a gif. causing a huge file size. But it's small in Flash. So it's not possible? Why not?

Yea you can use flash sigs on Forums as long as HTML is enabled

My Flash sig (http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=standalone21)

i made this for a forum and it worked and to embed it in your sig heres the code

<embed src="http://x500.putfile.com/videos/b5-19719024647.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="360" ></embed>

where src is the location of your SWF file and the Width and height is the size of the sig

but you cant use it on this forum. you can use it on another forum that has html enabled

Nemisis, You've had some cool signatures in the past. It's ashame the board doesn't want to get with the times. Im sure you could have had some awesome flash signatures. What's the deal with TotalBF2 locking out flash support??

its not so much flash more as it is HTML right? sometimes people can hack boards with HTML enabled

They should allow html so people can put good sigs with min. file size. Nemisis had cool sigs.. It's ashame he can't use it.. Like i.

See if you can get an Admin to respond to a message or private message. I've tried sending 2 private messages and they ignored my question.

What's the deal with TotalBF2 locking out flash support??Oh I'm fully aware of all the benefits of Flash, but I'm also aware of all the crap it can produce. If you look at our signature rules, here (http://forums.totalbf2.com/coc.php#sig). You will notice that if you add a flash sig, you'd probably be breaking a few of those rules.

This is simply in the best interest of the whole forum, considering the size. It's hard to maitain this many users at one time, and we have to deal with a lot of idiots all the time, now imagine a pile of other people who abuse our signature systems (not that theres enough already) with annoying and huge flash banners using up everyones bandwidth, and possibly even tinckering with the html on the same page.

In conclusion, it ain't gonna happen.
