Please. They were cool.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Instead of the country flags, I want short audio clips to appear below the avatar that say "Heil Hitler", "Vive la France" or "It is my right to own a gun", depending on what country you're from

Signed. The antartic and other flags when used ironically are useful for showing who has a sense of humour at a glance.

How ya doing, buddy?
Old May 27, 2007, 02:57 PM 2 #7 of 113
I think the flag would be best placed up top next to the date and time. The way we currently have the postbit set up would kill the minimalism if we were to put it in the lower right again. Also having it near the date and time is good for the local time since you can tell what region they're in and well that particular grouping just makes a whole lot of sense.





I'm also all up for custom flags that you can upload for yourself as well. Yuktobania and whatever fun flags would be great. I'd love to whip out my Grand Dutchery of Barapados Tootswag flag that I made for nationstates.net. It was this sweet flag with a BUCKETSHARK. Fucking rad. Let me go dig it up. =D



Obviously it would be much smaller (max of 30x16, most flags were 21x14) so it would fit but you get the idea. =)



Oh hell yeah, boy. Tootswag represent! Word.

I always hated the misuse of the feature but let's let the bottlenoses around here have some fun. Seconding Acer's idea for it though; let's keep it simple over on the left.

I had the exact positioning idea but forgot it while restructuring the postbit. Thanks! Enjoy your flags.

Great! Thanks a lot.

Additionally, could the default setting be changed to displaying no flag? It seems that you always get the U.S. flag when you don't pick one on your registration, and a lot of people never bother to change it afterwards.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Or, instead of displaying no flag, maybe some awkward country? Maybe a fake one like "newbville" so people will be more "obligated" to choose something other than the default... Unless of course they don't care.

Nevertheless, thanks. =o

Edit - Face, it's possible that the flag may autodetect where you're at. I never chose Guatemala.

Edit again - Nevermind. It just remembered what we had it set on last time we had the feature.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm going to be perhaps the lone dissenter and say I don't like the flags there at all. I find it to be distracting.

Put them in the post bit where they originally were, beneath the join date.

Or, at the very least, make the viewing of flags optional.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Why don't you like it between the time of the post and local time, Crash? (honest question)

WHY ARE YOU FUCKING DIFFERENT? (obnoxious question)

Decide.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
Old May 27, 2007, 03:29 PM #15 of 113
Crash, it makes sense where it is. That's where we have the local time. It helps give perspective.

Putting it back down below the post bit by its lonesome would defeat the purpose of the minimalism in the post bit Blah has achieved. It makes most sense to be placed where it is and it looks cleaner.

I get why having the flag there makes sense. It's nice to have a country to associate with the local time.

But aesthetically, it still sticks out like a sore thumb. It's a highly personal thing, I believe, and nothing I could really argue objectively. I just think it might look nicer centered in the post bit where it would have some symmetry with its surroundings. I guess the flag's current location feels unbalanced to me.

Maybe I'll get used to it and not mind so much after a week or so. We'll see.

Old May 27, 2007, 04:18 PM #17 of 113
You think you could find a way to make it more aesthetically pleasing in its current location, Crash? Like perhaps if you were to have something behind the flag and for instances where there is a local time expand to there as well?

Perhaps something similar to this?

Possible to request a feature to turn it off also? I like the flags as much as the next person, but I do agree with Crash that it sticks out like a sore thumb. In a way, it bothers me. I don't want to spoil it for everyone else who likes it there, but at it's current location, I prefer it not to be seen when I'm browsing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

For the record, I love it where it is. Perhaps an option to disable it would be the best way to make everyone happy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

SA-style pay-per-upload could work very well for this feature. It would keep the flag count reasonable, and bring in some dough to pay for the server.
