Country Flags?

Here's a cool little code I've used on boards in the past:
http://if.invisionfree.com/topic/5170624/2/#new

Basically, it adds a little flag icon of your country down with your favourite animes and such.

The only problem with this is that some countries aren't in this system, but that could surely be fixed.

Honestly, i'm not sure adding more code to the board that doesn't provide a large bonus is worth the increase in loading time etc for people. However i'm happy to see more input.

I don't think this code adds more load time. Unless you're saying all the codes combined add more load time.

Yeah, I think he means the codes give longer loading time.
At least, I don't see how a little flag icon would give more loading time than an entire sig.
I do think that if you'll use this code you're going to need the option for every country. But I think that would be easily solvable with sites like these: http://www.printableworldflags.com/flag-icon

I actually think this idea is pretty cool. Adds a bit of color to the info box. Text won't really draw your attention, but seeing a unique flag might draw some interest and creates the opportunity for people from the same country to get into a conversation

I like the idea but as Tim said, the more codes and things you add to the pages the bigger the site is to load and not everybody has fantastic internet. As a feature it is only really an aesthetic and doesn't add too much to the forum as a whole but it's still a nice idea :)

Yup, basically every code adds slightly to the loading time of the forum and we try to minimize our code usage in order to ensure we don't get hung up on how slow the forum is. The main problem is that with ZB we have no way of optimising code as we are given very limited spaces in which to add code.

Seems to be a fair bit of support for it though so if a few more people like the idea then i'm willing to give it a go provided it doesn't clash with anything else lol.

Gotcha. I think it's something trying out but if it's unnecessary, I can understand that.

I like the idea. :)

Also why is your donor credit negative?

I'm against it for the sake of avoiding divisiveness. There are unconscious biases out there which we don't have to deal with on forums.

Pretty sure it's optional though isn't it? I don't think it'd be dissimilar to having your location on your profile anyways.

Yeah, you can choose 'none' which will basically just disable the function for you

It's negative cause I spent all the money on the forum :w00t: Excluding the occasional donation i'm responsible for any running costs that the forum may have :p

Seems like people are mostly for this though so will give installing it a go later on today.
