Footers have been disabled for a few days due to a possible security issue.

I'll make them live again ASAP.

I wondered what happened.
A possible security issue?
Sounds bad.
I miss mine, too :(

----------------------------------
I was posting this, and hit the Preview Reply button,
and I can see my footer again.
Cool :)

----------------------------------
...well, I guess that's only in the preview reply window.
hit the post button, and it's gone in the post...

So what is this a bug or something in the Macromedia plug-in, or something else?

My footer could easily be a plain JPG or GIF, but then I can't have the random effect. :(

I don't, but I'm sure we will find out eventually...........I guess if and when everybody's footers re-appear.

Virus? Is this a new virus or a bug in the Flash Player 6?

Sounds scary...

tony,
I'm not really sure, John Starkey has all the info. I think it is not particularly related to FP6 though.

Is he allowed to tell us security concern? Or is it confidential?

Flash footers are soooooo dangerouououous :)

Please remove the bit below mods, if you think this will give people bad ideas:

The easiest way for flash to cripple a browser is to have 2 frames, in frame 1 you have, open url in frame 2 you have goto and play 1.

But I mean that area of abuse has existed within the flash player since version 3 I think...

Anywho... just some more information to ponder!

I don't think it's a virus. A couple of other boards I use also have disabled .swf content because there is a way to steal cookies through an .swf (very rude and not great for board security). I would guess the reason is the same here.

It might be quite a while till we get footers back.

i hate it when people screw a good thing up like interactive flash footers with their cookie stealing and viruses.

1)When you have reached a certain number of posts you can have text, an even bigger number, you can have image. Don't worry about the numbers, just help all you can and the numbers appear all by themselves.

2)Work hard, keep your nose clean, help people a lot, and hope your efforts are noticed by the webmaster and other mods, who discuss potential moderators in the Team Room before decisions are made.

actually with cgi you can make random sigs with jpgz/gifs.
I can scrounge up a little tutorial if youd like.

But it doesnt seem to work in this one.

I was just thinking you could load middleware scripts through the loadvariables action and that could cause a lot of problems.
