Country of origin icon?
« on: June 02, 2007, 10:24:47 am »

Not sure if it's been discussed before but I think it would be nice to have a icon somewhere in our avatars that shows what country we're in.

Over in the Visual Pinball Forums they put a flag behind your user name.

We seem to have people form all over the world here, I find it interesting.

I think it's a good idea, but I also noticed that not many people fill in the profile location.

Perhaps more would if they noticed they didn't have a little flag like everybody else.  :dunno
