Why do the forums use Adobe Flash?

With all the security problems (and Flash really being a security problem on its own), I've set my browsers to prompt to allow it to run. Every time I look at a thread in any forum, I get a prompt to allow Flash.

What on the pages needs Flash? Can we remove it from the forums?

@slugboy Sure, it's been disabled for the time being.

It's used for the upload functionality to allow uploading multiple files at once and also see the progress during the upload. Since we're not really a community that is revolved around uploading content, it's not important enough to keep enabled.

Thanks for bringing it up.
