ozphactor Maniac (V) Inmate From: California Insane since: Jul 2003	posted 07-22-2003 05:11 Um, which forum are you speaking of? Each forum has it's own rules regarding what's allowed, whether that be HTML or ubb code. For example, in the Asylum, all HTML is turned off and is rendered as plain text. We use a very basic set of ubb code. Even if the forum in question allows HTML, it may very well disallow certain tags such as <embed>. Why would you need a flash animation as a sig anyways?
KARN Bipolar (III) Inmate From: North Bay, Ontario, CA Insane since: Apr 2001	posted 07-22-2003 05:34 yea maybe it doesn't recongnize the tag... my friend's a flash user/// even his graphics is done in flash... and he did this animation thing that he wanted as his sig... so...
Dracusis Maniac (V) Inmate From: Brisbane, Australia Insane since: Apr 2001	posted 07-22-2003 05:36 Please tell me you didn't put all of that code into the sig. Why would you need to start new <HTML> and <BODY> tags in the middle of a <TABLE> displaying a forum post? Try just using the embed and object tags. Edit: the other option would be to save the flash animation as a GIF animation. You can do this in flash form the file -> export menu. [This message has been edited by Dracusis (edited 07-22-2003).]

You only need to use the ubb codes in this forum not any other else.
