      Country flags

      When I was setting up my account I needed to put in a country. I was looking for my country, which I would usually choose UK because I live in the Northern Ireland. I noticed that Scotland was on its own so I looked for my exact country, searching the list I couldnt find it. I live in Northern Ireland but the closest thing to that was Ireland, when I saw the flag which represented Ireland I noticed it was the wrong flag, instead it was the flag of the Rep. of Ireland. This I find very offensive, and would like to see it changed to the real flag of Ireland. I would really prefer to have the flag of N.Ireland included in the list, but I know it isn't really too important but I am fed up of almost every site have the wrong flag.

      icedawg or seeker might not know what your flag looks like since its so commonly mistaken for ireland or whatever. Perhaps getting a picture of it and posting it here will help them get your flag

      OK, the first pic is Ireland as a whole: http://www.freewebs.com/kennyfett/flagsi.bmp

      This one is Northern Ireland: http://www.freewebs.com/kennyfett/flagsni.bmp

      Seeker I didn't email it because I don't know your email. Thanks for wanting to help, I appreciate it.

      Why can't you just use the damn matrix flag?
      If I hadn't made me
      I'd be more inclined to bow
      Powers that be would have swallowed me up
      But that's more than I can allow...

      I think we only need to have 4 types of flags: The Matrix flag, the muffin flag, the matrix muffin flag and the pie flag. That should account for every single person in the forum. Plus, that way we will be able to crucify the pie-lovers and exile them to senseless banter 2: the land of the exiles

      I don't put up a flag because I am embarassed to be from this country that I am from. Yeah, we think we are all high and mighty and "save" whoever is in our best interest, and those who aren't, can just be forgotten and left to fend for themselves...anyway...I'm sure you all know what country I'm talking about.

      But a note to Seeker....why isn't the Palestinian flag available? That's my heritage and I want to represent! Better that than the United States of the fucking Universe.

      just a note that we didn't compile that list of countries ourselves, so no countries are excluded for a reason; that mod came as a package which included the flag images.
      Each new day is a chance to turn it all around.

      Fix the order of the flags

      Code:
      ALTER TABLE phpbb_flags ORDER BY name;
