Forum members' reputation

[Tread]

I only want to know why so many people can't view swf? And if it has something to do with the reputation.

This thread deserves a bump as there are answers to questions that some members have asked.

It has nothing to do with reputation. SWF (shockwave/flash) files need to be embedded in order to be viewed in a browser. This forum software doesnt allow us to embed. Me and SSL tried it once upon a time and it didnt work. If you have swf player, then you can download swf files to your HDD and play them. But even so, you will need special permissions from Admin SSL or a moderator to upload swf files, because no such provision is there.

But considering the very low filesize of swf files, I dont think it will affect the bandwidth anymore than most of the bigger images here.

Every member can attach swf files up to 488.3KB. I don't think that I got special permissions to upload them.

Hey, now that you say it, ... I have not noticed it earlier! I guess, I have never looked for it. It must have been added recently.(since 2009). The last time I uploaded an swf file, I had to request SSL. Then he sent me a link via PM. I was supposed to keep that link a "secret". Then he put that swf file in my thread. Does it sound very complicated?
example

The movie can be opened or downloaded. My browser opens it directly in Macromedia Flash player.
