Nationality Flags
Nationality Flags like VBAX would be nice, as Time Zones can cause considerable delays in posters getting answers. They quite often think they are being ignored.

Hmm...not too bad of an idea. I could code such a thing, but just wait and see what Mike and the others' think.

Dear Friends,

I like the general idea and suspect that most members are from the so called "english speaking nations" whose flags are fairly well known. Not so sure however if we happen to have a member in Burkina Faso !!

Perhaps another solution would be to include on each members "title bar" ( ? next to location) their time zone relative to GMT, although I appreciate this would be very difficult to set up, given the large number of existing members.

Regards,

Red Cloud

Everyone has the option of posting their location, which is very helpful when posting some issues, since the location is significant for things like networking support.

Luckily, the star on Burkina Faso's flag is instantly recognisable anyway
But flags won't work. Most people on this site will only know about 3 flags. . . . a big flag with stars and stripes, a small flag with stars and stripes, and maybe Canada's.
Mine showing has never helped much. It could be Chinese? Or Martian? Even when I tell people the reply is sometimes "aaah England"
Cheeky buggers!

I recognize it Moby, but then I have fond memories of a trip to Cardiff with my rugby club
