Flag symbol indicating country

[emax]

@Stu_Barnes
There has once been the idea to add the flag of a members country below the avatar. Will there be something like that?
As this is an international forum, it's often good to know in which country a member located.

For the time being I have put the German Flag in my signature, and I have seen that @minidok has done the same now. It would be great if others would follow until there is a forum-side entry in the user profile.

Nice idea withthe signature. Edited mine, too.

I couldn't get the flag in my signature as it asks for a URL when I tried to add an image.
If you hover the mouse over my avatar you can see the flag

You can pick a url from the web and put it in. The forum software seems to upload the icon.

I've chosen a 48 Pixel version.

Another way is to upload a flag to your own gallery and then link this to your signature. The advantage is that you can scale it to your needs. I've found one for you:

You'll have to provide analog instructions for this idiot

You find flags of all types and sizes here. Upper left corner search for e.g. "usa flag" or "australia flag":

Search icons results with keywords: usa flag

I assume you are not referring to me as an idiot.

Dave B, I also had to think about his sentence and doubted it.

You are correct, I am not. I am intolerant of computers and software.
I am good however with magnets. It will be my port of call when the androids start circulating.

@emax it’s one of the upgrades to the site that I need to do. Finding time though has been rather difficult lately. I’m also similar to @Tazzieman with computers so that really isn’t helping.

But it’s going to happen.

Stu.

 

[emax]

Thanks Stu.

I intentionally had written "for the time being". And it's not an urgent thing. So take your time, and once we have this the signature flags can be removed.

I think my flag disappeared.

 

[bemax]

I think my flag disappeared.

Maybe an invasion? Check the news!

 

[ECrider]

maybe the forum has changed direction and it will come back pictured in reverse

 

[Stu_Barnes]

I think my flag disappeared.

I tried to update the incorrect flags and everything has gone a little weird. Have a quick look in your preferences and see if the hide my flag box has been ticked by mistake.

All in all it’s a real glitch in the matrix. I’m trying to get it fixed before agent Smith arrives.

 

[Krabby]

I don’t even see any flag related info in either preferences or account settings. Obviously I’m missing something which is probably very obvious!

 

[Krabby]

Wow. Never mind. The flag is there now!

 

[Stu_Barnes]

Go to your account/privacy then scroll down to the flag option

 

[Krabby]

Just a little bump here. We've updated the flag look and I encourage everyone to set their flag. More than anything, it lets someone know what market you are in as vehicles, regualtions, etc vary around the globe.
