Supported Image Files?

[Furinkazen]

I am aware that GTP supports animated gif images, does it support animated flash files or .swf files?

 

[Tornado]

I doubt it. There are big potential security risks to supporting flash files in that way.

 

[Samus]

No, because they aren't image formats. Assuming you're talking about for use an an avatar.

 

[Furinkazen]

Thinking of more like images to use in racing series banners.

 

[Samus]

Oh. Well no, you can't embed flash or swf in vbulletin, not by default anyway. As Toronado says it's not very wise because of security risks with those files. Just convert anything you have to a GIF.

A well-designed banner image should never be an .swf file, simply because that's not really the purpose of that file type .

As mentioned, they're a security risk. Other than embedded YT videos, you won't see them too often around these parts. And personally, I've never been a fan of Flash, so can't wait to see it die out anyways
