QuoteAdobe Flash Player EOL General Information Page. Since Adobe will no longer be supporting Flash Player after December 31, 2020 and Adobe will block Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021, Adobe strongly recommends all users immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect their systems.
I uninstalled the Flash Player yesterday, and all videos posted here won't show anymore.
On other message boards I hang out they have a different way to post videos, and they all still show.
Anyone else not seeing videos here anymore?
Not having any issues, but I haven't uninstalled flash either yet.
There's a strong possibility we'll have no video here after January 12.
I've not seen an imbedded video here in a year or more; just an error message & a link.

I can't see any videos on BAD Movies in a few years.

Not intentionally. I think Chrome & Firefox started leaving Flash off by default.
Wow. The internet without cheesy flash games... It's hard to imagine.
it's weird
everywhere else on the internet that I go to find YouTube clips etc. lack of Flash isn't an issue except here :question:

Andrew hasn't updated the infrastructure of this site in maybe 10 years. Flash was cutting-edge technology last time he tweaked the settings. That said, I can still see YouTubes as of today.
^ Me too.

You know what's really weird? RealPlayer is still around. https://www.real.com/ (https://www.real.com/) How did Real outlast Flash? :question: I suppose Real doesn't have many other products, & Adobe does.
If you want, you can keep Flash; you're just assuming a risk that whatever old website you visit might compromise your browser's security. Then agan, with Flash going away, who'll make Flash-based malware?
I wonder how long Adobe will supports this. Officially they don't anymore, but the flash stuff still seems to be working.
It seems to have stopped working for me yesterday.
I've noticed just about every free little online game I've always been able to play has stopped working.
Mine stopped working in the past couple days.
It seems kinda lousy for Adobe to drop Flash without also providing some open source version; it was a standard for years, & dropping it leaves legacy services un-accessible.
