I think that would be a backward step.
Would you start reading people's posts with a different perspective if their flag was there? |

Be careful though. If you post through an IP in say the USA, you'll get the stars and stripes. Its IP not nationality driven.

LOL - We could look at that - although if that was the case, I suspect we'd need to have a "bank" of flags and people could select their own. Not the highest thing on the priority list at the moment, but a good idea and we'll see what we can do!

I thought of that too. I dont think it'll influence anybodys perspective of reading the post. It'll just add to the feeling of this being an international forum .

It works in other forums having your chosen nationality flag by your user name and looks cool.
Something to think about. |

I like it! Not sure if it should be alongside each post though - in that case it should be a matter of choice, as others have said.

The flag beside the name at logon is simply an experiment to see if our GeoIP database is working and identifying the geographical area the user is posting from. It's nothing to do with the persons nationality or regional preference.
It's highly likely that in the new version there will be nationality flags selectable as user "Avatars" |

Will the EU flag be available too? (I wish we were there. )

I've not decided on which flags will be implemented, it's very likely that initially only flags from the ISO country codes will be available.

Unless I could chose, I 'd rather not have this.. (Sorry if that's negative Magneton. )
My personal identity has nothing to do with my ISP. So if I could chose UK/England/Scotland I'd be (reasonably) content but I'd also like to chose nothing because my sense of identity is too complex (or at least too likely to be misunderstood) to be summed up in a flag. Except perhaps this one: Regards Jim |

I should have added that anyone who associates me with the EU will be subject to harrassment and exile.
Love my neighbours, enjoy visiting them (and vice versa) but I'm not, repeat not, a European. A bas de Gaulle. Jim Last edited by JimW; 22 Nov 2004 at 22:04. |
