I notice in the flash signature, some of the items (in green) are links, as such that the hand cursor replaces the arrow if I move over them. But if I click those "links" they don't actually do anything. Are they supposed to link to something?

They're supposed to work, but broke at some point long ago in the misty past. Sign, I'll put it on my list...

At least, I can confirm that the urls are valid.  If you do right click, copy link, you can paste it in the a new browser tab and it will show properly.

If you go to "your dynamic signature" page, the links work.

In flash html code, the parameters must be set for the links to work.
allowScriptAccess="always"
allowNetworking="all"

That part is handled by phpBB3 code in our forums.

Aha! Very good, SHF, I'll see if I can figure out how to fix that...

I'm not sure it can be fixed.  At least for third party forums, since it is a security feature of the flash player.
I'm not even sure I want to see that opened for our forums, since it could open the door for fraudulent signatures.

It might be better to include a copyable url at the bottom of the flash app signature.

Closing, as the Flash signature has been deprecated.
