Small Suggestion
-
One of the things that I love about coming to The Code Project (besides reading great articles ) is that you get input from all over the place, however, I sometimes find it hard to guess or know where people are from by just reading their post (unless it's Paul Watson with the nice logo in his sig). My suggestion is adding to the "My Settings" portion of user options the ability to allow people to show a flag beside their name in their posts (or somewhere that makes sense). So, if a person decides to show (or maybe don't even make it an option for users to reduce the overhead of including this feature) this a little icon of their nationality would appear beside their name in the post listings. I don't know how easy it would be to find such icons or even make them ... but I think it would be one of those "little things" that adds a lot to the site. Just a thought, Wally Atkins

I found a link (using Google, of course) to a free collection of National Flags Icons[^] I'd like to submit myself for putting in some time with Photoshop to make a collection of small GIF images from these icons if this suggestion comes to be included in CP (heck, I might just make them to use on my website :-D).
