Make sure you're running the latest version of Flash: 18.0.0.209. I'm not getting that bar.

Latest version for me is actually 11.2.202.491.

The banner doesn't appear when I update flash to use the above version (as expected) - my point is moreso that toggling off the flash uploader doesn't seem to stop flash being loaded/used on the site (otherwise the banner wouldn't have appeared when I was using the outdated version).
 
It saddens me that almost a year later, xF still has not moved to HTML5 from Flash.. I really expected it as a surprise in 1.5.
 
It's not a trivial thing to implement and considering our aims with XF2 it's not something we especially want to implement twice.

The solution however is simple. Disable the Flash uploader yourself. I can't even remember the last time I needed to upload more than one image at a time. You could re-enable it if there comes a time you need to upload multiple files.

Should you regularly upload multiple files on your own board, an add on is available that may help.
