I have used extensive flash files on my website and would really like to upload small flash images/movie's onto my forum. Does anybody have information on using .swf files on their forum? Thanks

There are a couple of plugins/hack available over at vb.org that will allow you to do this or you can set up your attachment manager to accept .swf's via admin Control manager > Attachments.

You should be very careful about the permissions associated with allowing flash on your site, as its quite easy to embed malicious scripts into flash movie files. This is why vBulletin does not allow them by default and why you should only allow trusted members/staff to upload or embed them into your site.

Hope that helps :)
