Suggestion: International flags.

Can we have little international flags that represent where we're from everytime we post (placed just below the information of Join Date, Location and # of Posts)? The flags could be about this big:

I would rather keep the site as simple as possible and without flash. I also dont think it is necessary due to the location being shown with a post. If someone wanted to let other know what county they are from, that is where I would look.

An idea non-the-less. I certainly never thought to have it before.

I just figured that there are a lot of people from all over the world on this site and I think it would be very cool for everybody to represent their nation. Kind of like seeing the flags for F1 drivers before the beginning of a Grand Prix.

I find it rather ironic that you are requesting this and yet do not have your location desribed properly.

It'd be kinda handy for users who have slang for their location.

Where's O-town?

A fine idea.
Am fed up politely asking folks who seek assistance to at least let us know what country they're in.
Make it compulsory to pick a flag !

But must add ....

I like the idea. I'd prefer the Fleurdelisé flag over the Canadian one though... I can already see political debates coming!

agreed, i don't know if it's absolutely necessary though, but for those times it would be handy.
just have them pick a country and the flag gets applied automatically

Implemented within nine hours after the request. This must be a record.
