Flash for avatars? Options

[Vyrrei]

Please?

You couldn't get away with the audio lol.

You have to click it to play the audio so I don't see the problem.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Avatars are linked.

[Vyrrei]

I know a forum where someone has this avatar and it just shows that guy until you click play.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

I think your only hope of getting a flash avatar is to blow Jusun.

Also, its too big.

[Vyrrei]

It resizes...

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Actually, I think Cb is too gay even for that to work.

[Vyrrei]

Nah it'll work.

I realize that you think you look like a badass for posting like this, but what you really look like is a pretentious prick. As an admin, I know I shouldn't say that but my inner monologue is broken right now.

I think that there is a fix for this, but that is entirely up to Jusun to implement. I will add it to his big list of things to review/do when he gets back.

Also, keep in mind that there is a size limit for avatars and signatures. I suppose there is the whole issue that people can choose whether or not to have it fully load by pressing play, but we would definitely have to have a restriction that says flash is only allowed if it doesn't autoplay.

XTC, I don't get it. First you're posting normally and are actually decent to be around. Then certain people start hardcore making fun of you and you jump on THEIR bandwagon and join them in talking about how much CB sucks. It doesn't add up. Also, you aren't being helpful. You aren't making a change, and you aren't being funny. So what's the point if you aren't being helpful, it's not funny, and it's not making the people who make fun of you like you?

That's totally fine. Sooo is that a yes?

[libertie]

I have found that this is something that we CAN do (meaning we don't need Jusun to do it); however, my biggest concern is the security issue involved with allowing the .swf extension to be used as an attachment for either an avatar/personal photo/signature or a posted item. Ultimately I would like to think more on this and discuss it with the other admins. Input from other members is appreciated as well.

+1 for rebs and dani

first off, the link won't even work as an avatar, and even if it did, if it was clicked, it'll just lead to your subprofile.

second off, topic failed, closed, and moved to resolved feedback.

You must admit that Cb is far from perfect. I'm not trying to look badass, or like a pretentious prick.
Also, I respect that you're able to tell people what you think, but sugarcoat it or something. When people respond the way you did, they seem no better than the original bastard.



Either way, I'm going to go ahead and clear up my posting that. I had a few drinks before posting, because who doesn't like a bottle of Jim Beam every now and then? I vaguely even remember posting anything yesterday, and looking at it, I can tell that I had no clue what I was talking about.

So I apologize for any bitchy, f**ked up, or otherwise retarded posts that I made last night.

[Joanne]

Yeah, I don't think many people will bother to right click and press play on your avatar. People just aren't interested enough, ya know?

[shoryuken]

Plus, how would you even know whose avatar is a flash avatar?

Adblock.

it was backstage. sorry.

[rnicron]

Adblock.

why would i even be bothered to care whose avatar changes if i click on it and whose doesn't? you sound completely ridiculous, honestly. you're giving too much thought to something that isn't even a feasible idea to begin with.

[Vyrrei]

Ok but what about ones that are on autoplay with no sound?

[Joanne]

Then those can just be .gif files.

[rnicron]

just find a .gif and move along.

[tokyo-rose]

Then those can just be .gif files.

Yes, GIFs with a lot of time between the frames. I don't know if you've seen it, but it's like the picture of himself that Tung posted in a Members' Photos thread. After a while, the second frame says something like, "If you can read this, you've been staring at my picture too long."
