el Guapo · Jan 27, 2003

Can we start any time?

Jeff · Jan 27, 2003

Started

Isn't it time for porn avatars again?

SkeLeton · Jan 27, 2003

I guess some already started....
well why the heck won't I do it...
Everybody does it, why can't I?

nerudite · Jan 27, 2003

Too bad it wouldn't show up too well...

SGB · Jan 27, 2003

I beat KMateja to it!

(I think....)

Planderella · Jan 27, 2003

By the time I figure out how to create a flag, the week will be over.

900th post.....just 100 more to go.........

giff57 · Jan 27, 2003

How's this?

Dan · Jan 27, 2003

I dunno ... I'd be so tempted to use one of these.

nerudite · Jan 27, 2003

I thought Mike would have chose...

I still haven't found a good flag for me yet (but then, I haven't been looking too hard).

SkeLeton · Jan 27, 2003

Here ya go Nerudite!, too bad it looses a lot of detail when it shrinks...

nerudite · Jan 27, 2003

Thanks! I may just end up using it... too bad you can't see the playboy bunny in there...

Dan · Jan 27, 2003

Hmmmm ... who wants to fly the Property Rights flag?

PlannerGirl · Jan 27, 2003

maybe a texan?

Habanero · Jan 27, 2003

nah.. but I may fly the "come and take it flag".. growing up I always thought it was the sexual flag. I dunno...

Tranplanner · Jan 27, 2003

Don't make me lose Stewie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PlannerGirl · Jan 27, 2003

bye bye baby!

Runner · Jan 27, 2003

For some reason I am no longer able to upload a custom avatar of the normal size??? My little BC Transit avatar comes in at 6720 bytes and I am now limited to 3000 bytes for new avatars. Guess I'll be sticking with the BC Transit...

The avatar below comes in at 12720 bytes, I would not be able to upload it:

The Cheektowaga town flag?

Better than flying this, I guess.

The image is 1201 bytes over here. Strange.

Here's a cleaned-up GIF. Adobe Photoshop 6.0. 858 bytes.

Spooky, down here on my dilapidated old Dell Pentium II 400 (NT 4.0) running Photo-Paint 8 the cleaned up image measures 4240 bytes.

But, the point is moot as now, all of a sudden, I can upload normal size avatars again... I'll find an appropriate flag later.

Crap! hee. you can have it. maybe some nice enterprising photoshoppers would take pity on Planderella and myself and make us our own flags?

donk · Jan 28, 2003

I made mine teh provincial flag, the funny thing is that there are erros due to artistic license in the flag.

How many can you find? Rumour has it here are 5. I only see 3.

donk · Jan 28, 2003

oops, image did not attach properly.

Tell me what you want and I'll photoshop it.

donk · Jan 28, 2003

I can probably help out too.

donk · Jan 28, 2003

here is the LA flag. It should be small enough to up load.

Planderella · Jan 28, 2003

Thanks donk

OhioPlanner · Jan 28, 2003

Now have a flag

Downtown · Jan 29, 2003

Tim - can I have a flag from somewhere warm and tropical? I'm sorry, but it hasn't been above freezing here in over a month. suckage!

Thanks!

Jeff · Jan 29, 2003

I saw the Conch Republic flag flying around somewhere...

Tranplanner · Jan 29, 2003

Here Kel - try this one...

U.S. Virgin Islands. I'll try not to make any smart-alec comments, but I can't speak for bturk, et al...

Sorry for the so-so quality.

Thanks for the set-up Paul!

Well, they were the Deflowered Islands after Prudence was done.

HEYYYY--OOOOOOO!

Downtown · Jan 29, 2003

Paul - you rock. thanks!

Downtown · Jan 29, 2003

son of a monkey. i can only save the flag as an .art file, or bmp, so i'll have to change this when i get to work. damn xp.

Tranplanner · Jan 29, 2003

Maybe one of the more experienced photoshoppers can help...I just grabbed the image and used MS Photo Editor to shrink it.

I got it from here: www.fotw.ca/flags/

donk · Jan 29, 2003

try this one, it is a jpeg.

should be of an appropriate size.

Tranplanner · Jan 29, 2003

That looks much better donk...

Jen · Jan 29, 2003

Forever in peace may it wave...

A flag found me and it translated easily to 80x80.

That is one of the most incredibly annoying (among several) problems with XP. Anyone know why they did that?

1) If you're using IE, clean out your browser cache, and restart. Still, though, some random images will be saved in .bmp format by default. Why, I don't know ... MS probably claims it's a "feature."

2) Use Mozilla 1.2 (Win XP, Mac OS 10.2, Linux). It's really a better browser. I haven't switched yet, but when I use it (about 25% of the time), I like what I see; it's faster, more stable, and it has a built-in pop-up ad stopper that's far more effective than most other pop-up blocker programs I've seen.

Some advice when shrinking flags from FOTW - in your image editing program, convert them from "fixed color" or "256 color" to "RGB" or some setting involving 24-bit or 32-bit color. Shrink. The result will be far less pixellated. Save the image as a .gif .. 32 colors will do.

Chet · Jan 29, 2003

Mike Stumpf - I want your avatar on the mudflaps of my 1970 Ford F-250.

donk · Jan 29, 2003

So who is man / womyn enough to show some PRIDE?

PlannerGirl · Jan 29, 2003

ummmm things got quiet around here

donk · Jan 29, 2003

That damn lack of common sense gene, when it comes time to speaking, must have acted up again.

JNL · Jan 29, 2003

This is an 'alternative' New Zealand flag - the Maori flag. It is a wee bit controversial as flying this flag may be seen as an indication of support for Maori sovereignty. The white part is a representation of a koru - an unfurling fern frond. It could also be seen as a stylised wave, as the sea is such an important part of our culture (no part of NZ is more than a couple of hours drive from the sea).

PlannerGirl · Jan 29, 2003

wow cool learn something new!

I like the design.
