How do I get a Country flag
« on: February 10, 2011, 06:06:29 PM »
I noticed that many users have country flags.
How do you get one?

Cheers

I think you need to have 20 post before you can add anything to your profile

Well you can do it from your initial registration, I don't know if it is available of one of the very few options in your profile that you can change.

If it is then Open your profile, Forum Profile Information and the Please select your country:, select from the drop down list.

If not then you have to wait until you get 20 posts.

Can't get my head round this 20 posting rule for flags,signatures and goodness knows what else. Can appreciate it might encourage participation in the forums but more likely it could encourage pointless postings, like this one I guess  ;D

It is more an antispam thing, it attempts to prevent spammers registering for the forum, and editing their profiles to be full of links...if they don't post, then it is hard to keep track of.

For me though the main reason is the blocking of Personal Messages. Since someone needs 20 posts before they can send a PM, spammers cannot register, and start spamming everyone through PM's...

The only problem is that when the do register, they can still post...until they are caught that is...though generally the mods are fairly quick on this.

Then read the topic as it tells you how and the fact that until you have 20 you may not be able to.
