National flag

[Dark Steno]

After reading Zed's thread at Lounge, why not if we can have our own national flag (small one) selected in User CP and shown in our details?

Example:

This one is for IPB btw.

It could be done, to replace the current 'location'

[maebach]

I don't like the flag idea, I like reading some of the funny places where people are (abu humping moms infront of pcs). FST could have a flag, someone could make one and we vote the best one and put it at the top.(it's just an idea)

I don't like that idea, makes it seem like the forum is only meant for that one country...

[Rip The Jacker]

Dark Steno's flag idea sounds neat. We could give it a shot, and see if members like it...

[ziggyjuarez]

Would go nice under the Posts: #

[RealitY]

Maybe that would be best if we do it like an addition icon along with the ones like the msn one...

[Skiz]

Don't take the 'Location' though.

I think like 80% of people here are from either the UK or the USA right? :unsure:

[Rip The Jacker]

Would it be possible to have the flag, and 'Location' for specific states? :unsure:

[manker]

Maybe that would be best if we do it like an addition icon along with the ones like the msn one...I think that's the best idea. That way the location could be kept as is.

A flag would be nice :)

someone start posting flags (all the same size!).

WhenI finish work, I could change my nationality in my TBs profile to every different country in the list and save each flag ... but maybe someone will find an easier way :ermm:

[manker]

I chose TorrentBytes 'cause it has the four UK countries, rather than just a Union Jack.

[Barbarossa]

I'm in a awkward mood.. can I have the European Union flag please? :snooty:

[tesco]

Try it out now, option is in your profile...

[Cheese]

Good stuff. Just a minor complaint, in my profile "England" is not capitalized where is says "Country Flag"

http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/member.php?userid=45809

Edit: In fact none of the countrys are capitalized, that should be fixed if possible.

[|F1|]

index.php is considered a flag:unsure:

how about you rename all the files then upload them :snooty:

[tesco]

Fixed it.

Just had to do <?php echo ucwords('{biglonglistgoeshere}'); ?> :01:

edit: and also removed index.php from the list... :P

[ziggyjuarez]

It's already fixed.



People without borders dont have to choose a country flag.

Is that some sort of profound philosophical statement or some techy thing I don't get?

Thanks, Ross. Good stuff.

[Santa]

shouldn't there be an version of every flag in "burning mode"?

I don't quite get it - in the thread in the lounge most people regarded the hosting of national flags in sigs as ...not so very positive - yet with your xertise here we have it
strange logic if you ask me

anyway more options the better - Rozz = fast & efficient


ps - why you delete vargas's post?

[tesco]

ps - why you delete vargas's post?I didn't delete it but there's 3 useless posts in a row removed...

Cheers Ross


I hope this isn't useless :unsure:

I dont want to do states and provinces and stuff tho, unless there are already some in the list?
I wouldn't know which is a country or osme european state/province.

I wouldn't know which is a country or osme european state/province.There are only countries in the list atm - unless someone wants to argue that some aren't truly countries if you follow the dictionary definition ... meh.

If someone really, really wanted to show their state/province's flag then they could always put it in the av or sig.

The Lone Star State.

Every State in the USA has the theoretical right to withdraw from the Federation at any time.

The fact that the only time this was attempted led to a long and bloody war of conquest of the said states, now incorrectly refered to as a "Civil War" is immaterial. :P

Until then the US flag can be used...

Actually, contrary to popular belief, no states are allowed to secede from the rest of the USA. You will probably find plenty of sites that will say they can, but if someone wants to argue this, I guess I'll have to go and prove it. :dry:

You did not become a consolidated Nation State until after the 14th Amendment.

I did say that the right to secede was theoretical... the voluntary Union set up by "The people" of the States, ended with the war of conquest by the Northern States on those that tried it :P

I think the only legal way for a State to secede now, is for the US to give/sell the land to another country (which it is allowed to do under both Domestic and International Law) that does have the Right of withdrawal in its constituton... such as Canada. :lol:

Dont think that would ever get through the senate though, which would be required... even if 100% of the people in the State wanted it. ;)

....then that's not secession, Rat. It's not even theoretical.
