That would be a pretty neat idea (Attn: Powers That Be)...to have the flag from where we reside shown next to our name or in our profile.

An interesting idea but the flags should be of a larger size than what I have seen in other forums (fora) because many countries have striped flags of the same colour, but the symbols in the middle are different and that can't be seen and so one does not know to which country the poster belongs.

I am not necessarily in favour of a flag. My original plea was for the limited inclusion of information normally found in a members list to appear by the name or atavar of the writer. This could just be a word, or the initials of the country in which the writer is currently resident. I think more people should consider what information ought to be put into their Profile.

[quote=Ray;271803]Glyn,
I am not against the Flag. It is a good idea. I only would prefer a larger size that what we have seen elsewhere. It will help recognition. If flags are what the membership want thats fine by me. As long as I can see in either pictorial form or in words where people are, I shall be content. However if I must have a flag, may I have the correct one, that of Cornwall please? I am not English, but Cornish. Cornwall is traditionally one of the five nations making up Britain, even though the Houses of Parliament have been trying to subsume it into England, and write it out of history. OK, I'll get off my hobby horse now................ |

Interestingly enough I got a piece of spam yesterday using the title
" Musharar's magic pill works again" obviously taken from this forum and purporting an @rochen.com return address. My techs dissected it and said it wasn't actually from rochen but somewhere else, you know what pointy heads are like, "file size cache bin blah de blah". Anyways, they're a bit bored and are looking to kill the source.
