When you are viewing a character or user profile and it has a country flag you can hover the mouse on top of the said flag and have it display the name of the country as helper text.

Would it be possible to copy that behavior on the normal forum so you can also hover the mouse pointer on the flag at standard posts within discussion threads instead of having to view the user full profile ?

As long as you don't force the flag on people's characters based by IP....

I always wished there were more flags. Like fictional ones too(perhaps on request).

But if it's something only Scragg can do that might never happen cause fancy things aren't priorities :c

Can it be changed so that when you hover over French flag it says Italy and vice versa?

What about adding flags of nations that aren't an actual state? For example Scotland's flag is there, but there are many nations that do not have the same option.

Because Scots are awesome.



Serious note: That would be 50+ more flags to put on the website, and I don't think Scragg will want to be bothered by that.

Haha I'm sure the Sean Connery's compatriots deserve it.

If its so much work to implement I understand.

But if it's just a matter of gathering info about several flags and their nations, a thread could be opened for that. I'm sure that registered people that actually care about it, would gladly help.

It's a little chilly down here, so make sure you bring a light jacket or windbreaker.

the travel company is giving me a parka to keep. other than that i'm bringing several layers of clothing to include waterproof layer. should be fun, can't wait to see the penguins and seals. Of course once I get to below the Antarctic Circle I'm going to go down to my swimtrunks and jump in the water. The wild adventurer I am can't pass up that opportunity.
