What a good idea!
 
I have just been on the 'quick links' section to see who was online......and I noticed that beside our names we have the flag of the country we are in.
I think this must be a very new addition.....I'm sure i would have noticed if it had been there before.....but what a good idea.

I was also quite surprised that a good proportion og those guests......have an American Flag.

Re: What a good idea!
 
I too noticed the little flags earlier.

A nice touch, though the two non-British ones on earlier I'm sure were search engines or spammers, as they had daft names and had never posted.

I have noticed you 'Goldies' seem to be exempt though.

Stateless persons? or illegal immigrants ? ;)

Yes i was thinking that Rindy, where are you??? and Mez also. Have you had a look at the guests? Most of them are in America, but theres someone looking at a thread about Huncoat Hall from Serbia Montenegro! lol.

garinda 11-04-2008 12:31

Re: What a good idea!
 
Just checked, and you're right!

I want a flag!

Perhaps the goldies are treated like an off-shore tax haven, or a pirate radio ship.:D

Maybe your elevated status makes you a cut above the rest of us...only joking!:)

I'm now going to be spending as much time viewing who's online as I do looking at the forum. I am intrigued...well, until the novelty wears off.
Small things....springs to mind.

garinda 11-04-2008 12:44

Re: What a good idea!
 
Shakermaker and onlyme are online too, and are also flagless!

Perhaps they've climbed aboard the Golden pirate ship, anchored in international waters..

Get the Master at Arms Rindy......a walk on the plank should do it.

Re: What a good idea!
 
Is it because I won't swear allegiance to the Queen?

Ok I'll do it for a flag...but I'll keep my fingers crossed, showing I don't really mean it.:D

MargaretR 11-04-2008 12:48

It seems to depend on the location of the server, because Roy was shown as russian

It's all very well but I'm in Boloxnia, (which is an independent Communist state), but their flag isn't shown next to my name.

National Flag of Boloxnia

Looks like the ones that haven't got a flag next to them have not put a recognisable place name in their profile.

Also, GUESTS still have a flag on theirs, so it can't be that they have put A name place .............. The plot thickens lol :D

Re: What a good idea!
 
If Jen confirms that she uses AOL then we can reasonably conclude that the location of the server determines the flag.

Margaret Pilkington 11-04-2008 21:33

Re: What a good idea!
 
What about those who have no flag......they must have a server too.

Just noticed this thread.... :D:D:D:o

Yes i do use AOHELL.

The servers have just recently changed are something - to do with carphone warehouse seeing as they bought the access rights to AOHELL or something like that.

Though if i use windows internet explorer theres no flag....... :D

So now what should i use ....... get an american flag using aohell or use ie and not have a flag decisions, decisions :D:D:D
