Default New Forum Features

Hey guys. If you look in your profiles you'll notice a new feature: country flags! Select your country and that flag will appear next to your messages. As you can see, mine is already set up.

I've actually had this mod sitting around for some time but the installation was hitting a snag and I didn't bother installing manually. Now that I've uploaded the security-fixed versions of certain pages, it installed fine. This is a good sign for reinstalling the custom titles, and maybe even that enhanced Control Panel I've talked about.

So try out the new flags. (No flag-bashing, please.) And while I've got a thread here, any other features you guys would like to see, or changes you want made? If you've said something and I've forgotten, please bring it to my attention again.

What? No state flags? I want a Florida flag.

You said something once about enabling personal photos in profiles.

I like it too, but it's too bad you can't have a "custom flag" option, however.

(I'm also suspicious that everyone is putting the right flags on... :P )

Yay! But no individual flags for countries within the uk? There'll be complaints from any north-walian members....hows about a uk flag with a welsh dragon on it? Something I'm planning for my primacy..... :wink:

Just so nobody gets their hopes up: I'm not going to make any additions to the country flags mod any time soon. That would be considerably more work than just installing the thing, which was a matter of two or three clicks.

^Agreed.


But could you see about changing the text color in the log-in fields so it isn't white-on-white? Thanks!

Not so much a technical suggestion, but maybe we should start a welcome thread of some sort for new members?

I'm bothered that there's actually a USSR flag.

Rain: Soviet? The USSR broke up 5 years ago. The KGB doesn't even exist anymore.
Paris: That's what they'd like you to think.

That episode is quite possibly one of my favourites, mainly for the scene where Homer goes to enlist.
