Now, realised some flags are incorrect ;
Like Monaco Flag, It's the same as Indonesia Flag, but originally, it is shorther,
Also The Nepal Flag is Really annoying,
I mean, It's a Unique Flag, though, it looks like Two Triangles inside a white Rectangle over here,
It isn't transparent so it's quite.. Um... Lame.
I made fixes for both Flags :
Nepal:

Monaco:


EDIT:
Here's The Indonesia Flag, It's NOT the same.


Also, add Vatican Flag as well.
Is it just me or I cannot find it .

EDIT 2:
Also the Yugoslavian Flag, It needs that red star:

Dude, they're flags on an internet forum - they're not perfect, but they're better than nothing.

As for the Vatican flag, I'm pretty sure no one on GTAF is a citizen of Vatican City, so it's a moot point. As well, I'm sure you're aware Yugoslavia hasn't been a country since the 1990s.

[lol232]

Well, a minor fix wouldn't be really bad, at least for Nepal Flag,
And take a look at some members : USSR Flag, so why wouldn't members use Yugoslavia,
I mean, they will use Yugoslavian Flag for, they will you it for pretty same reason as USSR's Flag.
But could at least Nepal Flag be Fixed, and does it truly mind if Vatican Flag is added,
I mean, I can recall I sow a member with a Vatican Flag,
but I cannot find it in the list, all the ways, fix for at least Nepal flag would be nice, but Monaco flag looks exactly same as Indonesia Flag,
When it originally isn't, It's for 1/5 shorter that Indonesia flag, just for the difference,
And Yugoslavia flag, just so it can be recognisable.

EDIT:
And what if there really is a citizen of Vatican City over here?
What if I just move to Vatican City straight away, , maybe there is, how do you even know ?

The unnecessary flags that are already there are fine, but why go through extra work for unnecessary flags that nobody truly needs?

[lol232]

I don't get the point of what are you talking about?
Can you explain it a little better, please?

Okay let me try...


In regards to fixing the flags that are already there...

That makes sense, and I could see that happening.

As for the flags for countries that no longer exist, or even the comical ones (such as the pirate flag)...


The ones that are already in are fine, but there's really no need at all to add more of them, especially since most people tend to use their country of origin, or where they currently are.

To reply from a team standpoint - when we purchased the flag add-on for our IPB system, it only included 1 year of support and manual access to the flag database, which is maintained by the team that sells the add-on. When our year of support ended, we no longer had access to the flag database in order to manually add new flags. Our database is frozen. While we at GTANet do encourage open-mindedness and tolerance of changing cultural icons, we are at a point where we cannot sufficiently manage to complete your request for new/updated flags at this time.

We appreciate your concerns and we do apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Regards,

Thomas (GTANet Tech Support)

Addendum - we currently do not currently have the Vatican flag on file in our database as the team we purchased access from does not consider the Vatican to be a city deserving of its own flag. They are rather stringent on this policy. The GTANet team does not share this viewpoint and are tolerant of all religions.

[lol232]

Alright, anuj, thanks for the info,
Is it repurchaseable to add new flags?
Of course you wont purchase it, just wondering,
I didn't know that actually.
Anyways, if it ever happens fot flags to be editable again, add thise fixes.
And feel free to lock this topic.

@*MURDOC* I uderstand now, thanks, But still thinking...

Unfortunately, the company we purchased the software add-on from has refused to do business with GTANet in the forseeable future, given our rather lax viewpoint regarding the geographical classification of Vatican City. Until we sign an affidavit acknowledging the holy city as a non-sovereign entity belonging to the country of Rome, then they will not re-sell us our access rights.

I see now, thanks for info, Thomas, I didn't know that, but is there any else kind of Flag system that this one to use?
Just wondering, thanks for info.

All other flag systems out there are out of GTANet's price range. Additionally, money for the purchase of a new flag system wasn't included in the 2012 budget and would require the addition of more adds to the website in order to facilitate the purchase of a new system.

[leik oh em jeez!]

I've never used the flag system, so I've got no idea how the software for it works, but would it be possible to direct it to a database on your own server?

Oh, and why in the hell is Ryan not a global moderator yet?

The truth is, we are trying are hardest to make Ryan an Admin. It's taking long steps and repeated resumes. GTAforums does NOT discriminate.
