Agreed. I see no reason to keep support for something that's the EOL status.php-BB-Is-Awesome wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 3:59 am The last release of Adobe Flash Player was released on September 10, 2013, 7 years ago. For those 7 years, Adobe only pushed out security updates and minor bug fixes. Adobe themselves discontinued all support, including security updates, on December 31, 2020. In a move to further reduce the number of Flash Player installations, Adobe added a "time bomb" to Flash to disable existing installations after January 12, 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash_Player
My proposal is the phpBB begin the transition of phasing out flash player support. At the moment, the editor currently has a button to embed flash player. I propose this button be either removed or an option be given to disable it.
I'm not criticizing your suggestion but being able to use flash in a post or PM is permission based. I'm pretty sure the default permissions are set to no for everyone on a new install going back to 2007.php-BB-Is-Awesome wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 3:59 am I propose this button be either removed or an option be given to disable it.
Allow use of [FLASH] BBCode tag in posts:
to no.[flash]
and the [img]
bbcodes are different in that they have permissions and can be enabled or disabled for different groups.Would removing this feature and permission settings also simplify and better optimize the code? I would presume that would be one less query to run too. I would also assume that it would be better to maintain future releases, not incorporating this dated legacy code from an area long past.thecoalman wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 12:51 amI'm not criticizing your suggestion but being able to use flash in a post or PM is permission based.

ACP >> post settings
SetAllow use of [FLASH] BBCode tag in posts:

AFAIK even if this were set to yes no permission sets have this set to yes by default so it would effectively still be disabled if you have not specifically enabled it that groups user/forum permissions.[flash]
