Flags

Post by nicc »

I notice that we are invited to select our flag. My flag, St Andrew's Cross for Scotland, is not listed but Wales is and England and Northern Ireland are not listed either.

At this moment 231 nations are listed. Please allow me to have some time I'll add them soon and inform you.

Be cautious: These flags don't allow to set/reset themselves, neither defined at 88 level! :)

Below are the images I found from a wiki link:
Scotland.png
Wales.png
England.png
Are they fine to be used or you'd like to suggest something else? There seem to be a good history behind the choice of flag, which I was not very aware of! :unknown:

The last is not the flag of England, but of Great Britain (the union of England and Scotland that existed 1707-1801).

1 - Scotland
2_ England (not Wales)
3 - God knows - it is not a "Union Jack" as it also has red diagonals within the white diagonals.

Thanks for the link. I'll try to work it out by this weekend.

Sorry for the delay, going through a very tight and busy schedule these days.
Thanks,

Added this:

Reference: Flag of Orkney


PS. Added Scotland as well. Will refine the appearance of them on weekend. Though you can choose them now, any edits in appearance will reflect on their own; you as an end user would not need to edit any settings in profile for that.

I might have had been through a small episode of short-term-memory-loss and as a result it didn't clicked me that day. Search the flag for "Great Britain", I think England is covered then?

For want of exact certainty about names (some flagists seem to go to all types of trouble about what flags should be called), the flag of Great Britain, aka the United Kingdom (full official name The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), is the Union Jack. As nicc described. The Great Britain part is England, Scotland and Wales, who each have their own more-or-less accepted "national" flags.

The English flag is the Cross of St George.
