Not sure who got the flag thing going but I think it a great feature ... notice several posters have no flag which I’m guessing means they left their Country blank during registration .... maybe now they will have a change of heart and we will all know each other’s general location with a glance .... we all proud of where we live right ???

I agree. I was a bit disappointed when we lost the location info on the old forum.

Hi all,

Yes the flag is based upon your IP address. Eventually all users will have a flag. The system is only picking up so many each day.

Glad you like,

Cheers

I'm in Oxford, England.

But I seem to have developed something of a Spanish flag on my avatar!

Slightly concerning.

Hope its not one of Teresa May's latest Brexit concessions...

Your location is UK but your ISP is showing as M247 Madrid.

I don't know what that means, or how it happened, or how to correct it!

I'll blame Brexit...

Nigel had a different flag before, now it’s back to Jack.
