I dont think you can. Forum creators know that a flash file can be realy small BUT flash files can load other larger files from other locations and that would suck up a huge amount of bandwidth. So to prevent that they disallowed swf's in signatures.

It would only create extra bandwidth to the forums' website if the files were hosted there at the same location.  Many times the sig is hosted elsewhere and would only affect the sig hosts bandwidth not the forums.

But to view flash sigs, the admins at the forum have to enable it or in some cases will have to download a mod to enable it.  Sometimes, all you have to do is ask and the admin will set it up ... and other times, they'll be worried about security risks and will not.

You can't use flash sigs on any forum I don't think. Not even Lithium Forums allow you to and they are the best out there. It would creat Bandwidth Problems Wink

Did you even read my post?!?!  It will only affect the bandwidth of the forum host if the files are stored on the host.  If the flash file is stored elsewhere, it does not affect the bandwidth of the forum host.  And yes, you can have flash sigs if the admin of the forum allows it.  And they usually don't allow it for security reasons as opposed to bandwidth issues since most sigs are stored elsewhere.

wow eveyone is still talking on this fourm, lol. I am gonna ask the admin of the form to enable it, I want to make a flash sig that would be hosted on my server, and i dont think the flash sig would be as bad as a image, i mean they end up around the same size if you know what your doing, and dont try to tech it out.
