Flash is diabled ....... any particular reason ????? I posted a link with flash in it (not that its important)

Found this while googling
To Insert Flash[*flash=200,200]http://somesite/somefile.swf[/flash]
Please note that, if embedded Flash has been disabled by the forum administrator(s), the Flash file will appear as a straight hyperlink as shown here. The two attributes in the 'flash' tag (where relevant) are width and height respectively.

No particular reason... however so is the inserting of all html and lots of other codes.

Flash can be a security risk (steal cookies, make users do things they don't want to, etc.), depending on what version of Flash Player users of the forum are using.
