Title: Update needed for country locations
Post by: Simon J on December 03, 2011, 08:23:05 PM
Your country options for registering profile details are hopelessly out of date - Serbia and Montenegro hasn't existed as a country since 2006 (they are now two separate countries) and you make no provision for Kosovo which declared independence from Serbia in 2008. But if you want to avoid the sensitive politics of the Western Balkans and not acknowledge Kosovo as a separate country you can always refer to it as Kosovo under UN Security Council Resolution 1244!

I can't seem to work out how to insert images so here are links to the relevant flags:

Montenegro http://www.flags.net/MNGR.htm (http://www.flags.net/MNGR.htm)

Kosovo http://www.flags.net/KOSV.htm (http://www.flags.net/KOSV.htm)

Serbia http://www.flags.net/SERB.htm (http://www.flags.net/SERB.htm)

Er...I hope you mean Balkan and not Baltic. It's cold here in the Balkans but it's bloody freezing in the Baltics, being as how they're about 1500 miles north of here!

And I just noticed the reference below to new country flags that was posted some years ago, and being in pedantic flag mode (it's a cold Saturday night in Kosovo so what else is there to do?), you should be aware that there is no official flag for Northern Ireland. It's hard to be sure exactly what flag you have assigned to Northern Ireland as it's so small but it looks to be the flag of the Government of Northern Ireland which was dissolved in 1973 and thus the flag has no longer any official status although it is apparently used unofficially by sports teams. The only official flag in Northern Ireland is the Union Jack.

the NI flag is the George Cross with the crest in the middle to show a UJ there would cause trouble lol, I can speak from personal experience :(

There is no official Northern Ireland flag. The flag with the St George's cross with the crest is the former flag of the Government of Northern Ireland and as it doesn't exist any more, the flag has no official status.

Thanks, Birty. The Kosovo flag is much more appropriate than the Serbian one!

But you've still got a flag for Northern Ireland which doesn't actually have an official flag!

theres a few that are not "real". till they do get a flag that one will have to stay and people can choose to use it or use the Union Flag or the Jeepland or any other, it is only a bit of fun and to help members workout who's near each other

Absolutely fair point, Birty, and thanks for fixing the Serbia and Montenegro one which really was wrong.
