Hey!
I was wondering: could we have a line added in the profile summary underneath the avatar to indicate the country (or town) we're from. Though with time, I know where many of us live, I sometimes have to go back to one of the introduction threads to check who lives where. Having maybe just the flag of our country would be a great help.
What do you guys (and girls) think?

hmm.... yes not bad idea ;) i'am from greece
-
There is already "location" in the full profile. Isn't that enough?

oh yes there is i forgot that ::) ::) ::)

That's right. :)
If we do forget, it's easy to just click on a person's profile summary page.
-
can we make it a mandatory field? there are some people that don't have anything written there.... nor in gender.... ???
-
Yeah, I do wish it were mandatory to put something. Surely no one would feel to afraid to just put what country they are from at least? I can understand not wanting to say what city.
-
I agree. I haven't been on here long enough to learn/remember who is from where, and I tend to forget exactly what I want to say if I am responding particularly to an individual's post rather than to a thread generally and I need to flick back to the profile page.
I understand that some people are reluctant to let on where they live, but country is more than adequate for most of us. A lot of questions relate to obtaining Playmobil and I have already noticed that differs vastly from country to country.

Yes, that's one of my concerns. The second one is I use mostly my iPhone to post answers and it's too long to go to a member's profile then back to the page you were reading to reply after checking where the guy's from. I don't think I'm the only one in this boat. A small flag or the name of the country below the avatar would be great, IMHO.

I like the idea of a flag! :)
-
Yes, if it was a flag, it could be somewhat educational, because we would all have to learn to identify the flags of some countries we might not have been familiar with before.

Just put what you want to share in your sig line.

Sorry, but those flags are too large for a signature image, Gassy. Could you please find some smaller ones?
Something like those found here would be much better:

Some form of programming would be required in order to provide the flag image for the members to choose from and for it to display as part of their profile. It's not as easy as one would think, unfortunately.
PrimusPilus' suggestion is probably the best solution, but please keep the flags to the same size as standard smileys/emoticons so they don't take up too much room on the page. :)
-
the German folks have a small country flag in their profiles, you can see them in their posts too
then again klickywelt has a different layout from that of playmofriends, so I don't really care if we can see the flag or not - the mandatory country/location field is sufficient in my opinion
-
Well, it's sort of done, but can anyone advise how to get rid of the URL link. I just want the flag!!! And possibly a few sage words, now and again :lol:

Fixed! Just needed one set of tags around the image like so:

I just read this thread why do we need to put a flag in our signature ?? Our profiles indicate where we all are.... I dont want to change my signature, is it compulsory to put that flag in our signature ?? If so wouldnt it be better to have under our Avatar in that section rather than trhe main forum text area as it will be constanlty repeated ???
.... and looking at a post above why having two flags ??? ??? ??? ??? Doesnt that defy the original suggestion ??? ??? ???
-
It's not compulsory, but for those of us with bad memories it's helpful. In a lot of cases it's too long winded to go back to the profile all the time.
However, as you are a prolific poster, even I can remember what country you are in, and believe me, that is a GREAT achievement :yippee:

If you read all the posts again, you'll see that I explained that there is no provision for this in the version of forum programming we're using. That's why PrimusPilus suggested members could add a flag to their signature if they really wanted one.
Nowhere did anyone say that it was compulsory to do so. I don't know how you jumped to that conclusion. ???
COOOOOOL LINK, SYLVIA! THANKS!
Yeah, I love that website too! Have found some terrific little icons there over the years. :)

These flags add colour to the forum but i think they spoil the idea of having a bespoke signature that may change. And putting flags and a signature at the same time me thinks reduces significantly the write up area on a displayed page. Perhaps these flags can be added into the Avatar area? This would look more tidy and neat i think.... ??? ???

How many times do I have to explain why this is not possible?
Please read my previous reply again.

WHAT?
??? Last night he asked if we could see something in his title area. Why did you remove it, Martin? ???
