You may have noticed seeing a bunch of mini flags next to user names throughout the forum and wonder what that is about.  In the previous version of the forum we did have a plugin that identified the location of where people are from.  Overall I think this is good know since the LEGO situation is different in all parts world.  Currency, discounts, inventory, special releases and just the overall buying and selling of LEGO is different. At least now you may have an idea that they may be talking from experience from 5,000 miles away from where you are.

There is also an added benefit of finding people that are local to you to strike up a conversation.  I know we have an active thread for German Brickvesting.  Having the flags can allow people to invite others into those topics of conversations a little easier if they see a new member from Germany asking questions.

• The flags will automatically appear when you login.  If you log out and back in again it will automatically update your account.
• If you do not recognize a flag and hover over it it will give you the country name
• If you click on the flag, it will open up a window to show you other members that have been identified from that country as well.

Hopefully you like this and it adds a little something to the community.

Thanks

And Hi, Sheldon!

Thanks for putting this back in! As a Canadian this was always really helpful on the old forum to weed out some US deals vs Canadian.

Super happy this is back.

I was wondering why all the flags everywhere. I thought there was some sort of "Celebrate your nationality" event going on and no one told me about it. Ha.

Well this might be helpful... I guess we'll be seeing even more U.S.A. flags than we do normally ;-) flags... flags everywhere!

Thank you, I thought that it might depend on the GPS signal of the device or the IP address. I will try it when I travel the next time, want to collect flags :)
