JD77 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 well i think tip it should allow swf (flash format) in sig! cause if that was allowed we could do bunch of cool things like action script based sigs and stuff. if u dont agree explain y. and for admins heres the mod for it to work : http://phpbbhacks.com/download/1059 (thats if u want to add flash sigs) if u agree fell happy to bump.

I think there was this huge reason why but I forgot. But I agree if the reason isn't too serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itachi Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 The reason is that you could program viruses into the swf (or that's what tip it says) the better thing to do would be increase the Max KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I campaigned for this to be added about 3 years ago. Its not gonna happen. While the filesize is smaller they pose a much bigger risk than static images. In flash you could add javascript or actionscripting code to make the browser do odd things. With a cleverly crafted url i could make a sig so that if an admin looks at it then the forums gets locked or a post gets deleted etc. Its not going to happen, sorry.

Exactly, which is why I suggested that you should just up the KB size in which case there's no point in using the smaller SWF's and it would make everyone happy using Flash or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatsilverwyrm Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 For the reasons mentioned above, it's not gonna happen.. As for raising the size limit on sigs.. I've been campaigning for that for ages, and it's always been concluded that there's just no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
