Dear Site Admins,

I love the little flags at the bottom of each member/guest etc, but sometimes I want to know more about it. I often find myself going with the mouse pointer over a flag, but it usually shows some elusive code like WA or GI. Would it be possible to give out the complete 'meaning' of the flag?

Just for kicks!! Hope it's not too much of a hassle!!!

Thanks,


Siepel

 

The 2 letters are all ISO Country and Sub Country codes, just look them up on the iso site

 

Well Mr. Smarty Pants,

According to this ISO Decoding Table your "WA" code does not exist!!!!



Mmmm 'kay....

 

does - it is a sub country not a country code

 

Smartarse

 

how do you get the flag? im a noob

 

or, how do you change your current flag

 

You don't. Flag = country where you live. It's a practical feature and not designed to be flare.

 

There's 4 letters missing, that's why

 

The brits are "special". Seems they have a country like everyone else but that few see themselves as being citizens of it so, like the former Soviet Union, it's made of several sub-countries (England, Scotland, Wales, etc). Since these are only countries "of the mind" I had to make up some codes for them. Britian it seems is an anomoly in more ways than one.
