Requesting Flash Avatars (along with the already implemented gif & jpg).
Also requesting the ability for my users to turn off flash footers similar to www.flashkit.com.

Since I know diddlysquat about PHP/CGI and hacking Jelsoft's vBulletin Board, take this merely for an example's perspective.

Apparently you can enter in HTML for the users' custom title.
I have been successful at "assigning" a flash custom title to a user and turning off his/her avatar. I know this is a roundabout way of doing things, but it might be a start for some of you.

To clarify a bit more on the issue, I would really like a user to be able to upload his/her flash avatar and use it immediately.

I don't personally care if there is a width/height requirement, just so long as a user can create the avatar his/herself. I also don't care whether or not this avatar will be seen in the list of avatars (i have the avatar category hack installed), but it would be nice.

Thanks.

I can help trouble shoot in anway possible, but we need a starting point.

*bump*

Certainly there has to be someone out there willing to give this a shot for us "uneducated" users.

*double bump*

If this isn't even possible, could someone at least acknowledge the thread and state so?

Thanks.

yes i agree, anyone who knows for sure that this can be done, or can't, please reply!

In *theory* this can be done.

Basically, you need to enable avatar uploads of .swf files.
Then, add something that will determine whether the avatar is .swf or a regular images, and then use the right code.

Like I said, this in in theory.
(and I'm way too busy right now to do this, sorry)

Has anyone yet come up with this solution yet ? I would love to add flash avatars to my forum.

i wouldn't like this kinda, because if everyone on the forum is using a big flash avatar, the topic pages are gonna slow down...
