Flash Game in Post - Footer Code Question

[twili]

(Sorry if this is in the wrong place)

I found this code while hunting around for a way to put flash games into my posts (using html iframes) on my forum (So I could have a bit of a "game center" board).

However, it seems like the code doesn't work in V5, as I believe scripts in the Global Footer don't work anymore (I can't find the button in the admin panel, as I believe it was redesigned from V4).

If someone knows of a way that I could get this code to work or knows of a different code that does the same purpose (I have an iframe that I want to embed in a post so that you can play the game in the OP and then comment below it).

Thank you in advance and sorry again if it's in the wrong place!

Headers and footers still exist in v5, under Admin > Structure > Headers & Footers. I am not 100% sure where you were told that footer codes no longer work, but that's not 100% accurate.

Many v4 codes that specifically affect aspects of your forum no longer work because the elements they referenced have been changed or removed in v5 (so, if you had an element called "1" in v4 but v5 changed it to "A" or removed it all together, a script looking to affect "1" would no longer function. This is an overly simplistic explanation but hopefully it gets the idea across). However, if the script references something that's still the same, or doesn't actually alter your forum's structure or function, then there's no reason that it shouldn't work.

I would recommend trying the code in the Footer of your choice now that I've directed you to where the H/F are located. There is a chance it won't work anymore, in which case the topic could be revisited, but test it first and post back (:
