Just a notification for those who have tried accessing the site on their phones, as well as Administrators, that Android 4.1 and up will not support flash, in any format. I will likely look around XDEV and see if there is any work to remedy this, but it's likely chatting on the site will be impossible on the latest model Androids.

UPDATE I was able to find a flash file online, and manually install it. This is however the ONLY way to put flash on newer android devices, as it is no longer in Play store.

There is no "and up". 4.1 is the latest release of the OS. Adobe has stated that they will not be developing for Jelly Bean (4.1).

True that, as of Aug 15th. Purely Adobe's decision from what I've read, too.


"Reading Adobe documentation it's clear that Adobe is betting its future on Windows and Macs. There's no Flash for iOS, Flash will gradually die off on Android, and Adobe has no publicly announced plans to bring Flash to either Windows Phone 8 or Windows RT. For better or worse, Adobe has decided that Flash won't be playing a role on most mobile devices."

A loophole is to use Chrome, which is apparently the default browser on devices running Jelly Bean, because Chrome has Flash built into it. But that may not be the case in the long run, and HTML5 is expected/speculated to begin gaining ground over Flash anyway. :)

4.1 is the latest, but is it the last? lol. That's what I was getting at.
