It will not flash when you are reading a thread.
It only flashes when at the index page or inside a forum where other threads reside.
Once you enter a thread, it is all stop on the flashing.
PS, the flashing does not bother me a bit.
I hardly even notice it, as my eyes are to busy reading threads.
Just you wait until our next surprise.
A sexy female voice will come on when you enter the forum telling 'ya all to use the search link

It's flashing in the original profile, both in threads and even now as I type this reply.
Ya' know, the {BLINK} tag is technically non-standard. It got depreciated out of the HTML spec a LONG time ago. Contrary to popular belief, most browasers still support it, but there are a lot of folks around that would like to see it disappear, including the guy that created it.
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_tag
The inventor of the blink tag, Lou Montulli, has said repeatedly in interviews for magazines and other media that he considers "the blink tag to be the worst thing I've ever done for the Internet".

IE users like myself only see it as I wrote above.

Why not just do it via script? Then you won't have as many implementation problems between browsers...

Here is the code we are using that is in the "head include" part of the templates.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function doBlink() {
var blink = document.all.tags("BLINK")
for (var i=0; i<blink.length; i++)
blink[i].style.visibility = blink[i].style.visibility == "" ? "hidden" : ""
}
function startBlink() {
if (document.all)
setInterval("doBlink()",600)
}
window.onload = startBlink;
// -->
</script>

}
function startBlink() {

window.onload = startBlink;
