Adobe Flash Player - End of Life

I admire your persistence, GTP.

Have you tried changing your avatar photo GT? It’s impossible (always has been for me) on an IPad, but I did manage to change mine using our Mac Book mid January, and the new one now shows on the IPad as well. No idea how all this works, or doesn’t in the case of the IPad, but it worked for me🤷‍♀️ 

Good for you, , as with most organisations, if a request is "difficult?" to answer ,push it under the pile of others and hope it goes away

It took me seven years to get a problem solved to my satisfacaction

TDA....thats what I have been trying to achieve for the last few months...both the car and caravan in the photo are out of date. I was told that you could get the job done via a Mac that still had adobe Flash Player installed... but both OH and myself upgraded our Macs in July of last year..Me to a new iMac Pro 27"...OH to a Macbook Pro.....neither would allow a download of Flash Player...

I have not dared change my avatar, mine was drawn 23 years ago! I have raised your post with Rowena to see if she can provide further information. I suspect the main issue is not only that Flash has ended but the current software for this forum is probably equally outdated and whether there is a possibility to tweak? Clearly some people manage to change avatars on a regular basis I wonder if they are doing so on Windows machines?

Ps about as old as my avatar

 Just had a look, it isn't possible to change or add a profile photo at present. So I'm glad the OP has asked the question and hope a reply follows.

Thank you for reporting David....I would agree with your suspicions re the forum software....but given the numbers using it, I can understand why EG has very little interest in any upgrade.  That said...the club is continually encouraging members to use the forum and as such should make the platform user friendly in all aspects....

A contact from my old team (who spent most of his life writing 'scripts') tells me that my particular problem is that I have updated my hardware after Adobe cut the link for any Flash Player download. Any machine, either Mac or Windows which still has Flash Player installed....should continue to work...Adobe has only stated that they no longer support the software.....hence no download for new hardware. Hope that makes sense. !!

I think like yourself...I will create a 'timeless' Avatar for future use

It's not just the forum anyone wanting to leave a review has to create a profile (less an avatar/photo at the moment.)

Ah, that might be the answer. Ours is an old Mac Book. Good luck with it, given how popular IPads are, it’s a shame such things cannot be done on them. Not sure if that’s an Apple or a Club issue.
