Suggestion: COUNTRY FLAGS

[O Ilusionista]

There is something which is common in many foruns and maybe we could this here too - Country Flags

This could be useful for users to find other people who speaks the same language.
It's not hard to add:

And it's compatible with the forum version.

I don't really want to see folks breaking off into communities within the community, but I overall I like this idea. Good call sir.

It's more a social thing rather than anything else - when you find someone from your own country somewhere, you feel more "at home".
Plus, language barrier can be a pain.

@DCurrent bumping and old topic, do you think its doable?

We're using different software now, so it might be, but I don't know for sure. I'll look into it.

Dumb question: What flag should people use? The one of the country they are born or the one from the country they are living currently?

Just to clarify on this since I've owed y'all an answer for a while. I found the the software does support country flags, but it is a paid add-on. I don't want to sound cheap, but... I'm going to be cheap, at least for the moment. This site is already very expensive to run since it uses a paid premium software and business class host. Those are good things of course - we simply outgrew the low tier stuff, but for now, it's all I prefer to take on.
