Flash signatures

What's this forum's policy on Flash in sigs, i'm just asking because i wouldn't want to upset anyone because of compatibility problems...
go here if you want to see the sig i may use if i'm allowed...(you may need to download the Flash Player)

just wondering because i went to a Flash forum today and loads of people had Flash in their sig...

Hi, Gluk Schmuck. It's a nice sig, over there.
According to the forum rules, your signature must not exceed 35kb in size, 400 pixels in width, and 125 pixels in height.

So, if your Flash signature is smaller than that (which I think it is, since you haven't used any picture) I guess it's ok to use it.

The flash plug-in is very common nowadays, but people who don't have it installed in their browsers won't see your signature banner, though.

i was worried about the "Download Flash Player" dialog poping up every time they view a post of mine...
doh! HTML's diabled in sigs...

if any of ya admins really like my idea, change the settings, if ya not that bothered then i'll need a new banner of...hmmm, i'll have one form Abe Babe this time...just tell me...(my site's moved)

Hey Glucky,

Your new sig is, well, kinda 'Flashy'. But I like your current one better because it's more Odd. If you can change the Flash one into a more Odd one, then I would definatelly use it! A little movement on screen never hurt anyone

you're right, this (*points down*) one does look better, doesn't it...

maybe i'll convert it and use it on another forum...

At the moment the forums don't support Flash Signatures. I need to do some hacking in order to enable these, but there hasn't been too much of a need as yet.

I don't know why though, but when I went to look at your sig, my browser said the site was blocked due to Sex/Acts (I have parental security enabled on my computer due to a brother who was constantly visiting porn sites and didn't know what he was doing). I wonder why your site is categorized as a sex site??? I just disabled my security settings and it came up though.

It's pretty cool though, but I do like the one Sydney done for you. Actually, you can ask him to change the web address on it, as he should have the original still.

Abe Babe...
