Snow Frostflame 3,567 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 (edited) well first I hope this is the right place to put this Alright here is an idea I have had a pretty simple one and was surprised to see that MLP Forums didn't have this now to get to the point when editing your profile there should be an optional question asking what Country are you from and you would receive a list of countries you would then find your Country if you choose to answer and your Country flag would appear below your member insignia here is an example so what do you guys think? oh an edit from the future.... check @AmberDust's example.... its a million times better than mine...

Jeric 46,834 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 I don't know about the flag images, might look cluttered. It's another doable item, plus there is a map hook available for IPB that is also available. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tia Is Best Pony 310 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 I do like the idea of it, it is a good one, though i might not go with such a large flag size maybe a tiny bit smaller 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King 5,625 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 If the flag was about 50% smaller and was completely optional, then yeah I could see it being entirely possible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem that I see with this idea is that some people would choose different countries just because of their flags I don't know if that is bad or good but that just came to my mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Sing 666 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 (edited) Maybe make the flag a small icon and have a field to the right of it that pulls the text from what you write in the Location box in your profile? Kinda like this, but maybe with a smaller flag icon? Edit: Updated example picture (Ver 3). Its sharper and to scale.

Jeric 46,834 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 If the flag was about 50% smaller and was completely optional, then yeah I could see it being entirely possible. You would conceivably need three image sizes for each flag (preferable) or just use an appropriate css in the .tpl files to constrain the size 1. Profile flag (large) 2. Post flag (medium) 3. Member list by country sort/page (small) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARagY 1,152 September 26, 2014 Share September 26, 2014 You would conceivably need three image sizes for each flag (preferable) or just use an appropriate css in the .tpl files to constrain the size 1. Profile flag (large) 2. Post flag (medium) 3. Member list by country sort/page (small) I actually like this idea. No one's going to actually read your location but having a flag to show where you're from without necessarily needing to click through your profile is a nice idea indeed. And yes I feel that it should be fairly small depending on where its viewed at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningWar 50 October 13, 2014 Share October 13, 2014 Maybe you could have the option of choosing between the large flag option and a small token-sized flag? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberDust 1,116 October 23, 2014 Share October 23, 2014 I'd suggest something unobstructive and cute. maybe a stamp (or cutie mark) next to the name? Or the second option in this picture, the one on the profile pic, would appear only when you mouse over the picture so it wouldn't obstruct someone's profile picture. Maybe it could even be included in each of your posts like a signature is. :/ There are so many possibilites. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonasDarkmane 19,777 June 15, 2015 Share June 15, 2015 Keep the flags small, not large, as it might actually annoy other people since some do hold some grudges against other countries. The idea seems pretty nice, it would give one more of an identity. Oh, and if this becomes a thing.... don't you dare forget little ol' Iceland Staff Members 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest90210 3,567 June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 I agree, I like the flag idea, but would prefer if it was optional and small. About the size of Amber Dust's suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa 5,551 June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 If it was optional, and the flag was no more than around 5 pixels wide, sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars 4,861 June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 If it was optional, and the flag was no more than around 5 pixels wide, sure. This. I wouldn't want a huge flag under my avatar/member badge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Hadron 372 June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 Aren't profile background images costomizable? If so, you could hack something up by adding a flag to the background pic. It wouldn't support scrolling though...unless background pics can have a scrolling option. On a game that I play, the players usually don't "wear" the flag of their country, but a "cooler looking" flag, like that one with green and white and a tree on it. I suspect that that would be too easy to do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokuc 8,172 July 5, 2015 Share July 5, 2015 There is an image pack with country icons that look like this . it's the same one that skype use. In my opinion, this size works fine. A little bit bigger is alright as well but that massive one in OP looks.. eh. As long as it'd be optional I'm all for it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
