I am not an admin on my site. I am simple a user who cannot figure out if what I want to do is even possible.
What I would like to do is add a countdown timer to one of my posts. Either in javascript, flash, or something else. The problem is that everytime I add any code, it just shows up as code in my post. Is there a trick that I am missing? Or is this turned off on purpose?
I apologize that I cannot provide more info about the forum and specific mods installed.
Users cannot post flash or javascript into posts.
For security reasons it is disabled.
This is because users could embed dangerous flash or javascript objects which would make forums vulnerable.
Just use Karl Benson's Auto Embed Video Clips and you'll never dream of flash again.
^ although my auto embed video clips wouldn't work for the timer which gtcompscientist had in mind
