Flags

[Oztours]

Was chatting with @BCcanuck in another thread today and noticed he had a flag of Canada in his signature. He thought it would be a good idea if people here could do the same, it would help in recognising each other by country. I had a couple of personal responses so here is a tutorial on how to add the flag of your choice.

Notice the change in backgrounds. Thanks for that @Steve

 

[Gillholm]

Thanks Peter, a good help for someone 'not so good with computers' like myself!

 

[Graham Clark]

Yep, great idea.

Interesting to see where folks are from and also the global reach of the forum

 

[Graham Clark]

I don’t see a Flag in any of your signatures? (Nor a signature for that matter LOL)

Web browser issue?

I'm seeing the Australian flag on @Oztours and the Swedish on @Gillholm, oh and the Welsh flag on mine!

 

[Oztours]

@Thern Try this and see what happens.

Try de-selecting it, scroll down and hit save then come back to this page and hit refresh, then repeat by selecting it again and saving. Always remember to refresh your page when making changes and sometimes you even have to refresh by hitting the menu button relative to the page. It is all to do with how they have written the code to make things happen.

Great idea. I'm trying it for myself.

 

[Yezdi]

Thanks very much Peter for the detailed procedure. Managed to get mine done.

Hopefully this will work Peter, as you know I am not the best at this sort of stuff.

More great instructional posts Peter.

I opted for our state flag since I'm guessing there's a ton of folks here from the U.S.

Yeah good point Dave.

Just an FYI if you click on the flag you can resize it as well... At least I could.

 

[gaknott]

OK, I am on board. Great idea!

 

[Woodpecker]

Thanks for this one. I'll give it a try ...

 

[ssheipel]

Thanks. So well explained even I could do it!

Steven what's the other flag? The other one than Canada?

Province of Alberta. David I was to be in Glasgow this year, but for COVID. My mother was born in Paisley. Followed her new Canadian husband back to Canada after WWII. I promised her I'd spread her ashes 'back home' and she passed away a couple years ago.

What a great story of remembrance Steven. If your Mum was a "Paisley Buddy" as we say then she was alright. I worked out of Halifax a times on the go a few years back. Loved Canada.

Wow that brought back a memory; someone calling my mom Glaswegian and her responding, "Ahwk, I'm now't from Glasgow, ahm a wee Paisley Buddy!"

@Woodpecker it looks like you have just pasted the flags URL straight into the text box, not the "images/url" box. If you are having trouble, send me a PM (private message).
