    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.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

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

    Where's O-town?

    It could be....

    Ontario, Osaka, Oslo, Ohio, Overhalla, Oakland, Okha, Oki, Olbia, Oldenburg...
    And many, many more...

    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

    It's interesting to see your avatar share the same colors...

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