Hear Ye, Hear Ye - you can now support your World cup footie team with a little flag (NOT an avatar, oh no!)

Hello everyone,
ShamTech has built a little thingy over the weekend that means you can now display a teeny flag of the world cup team of your choice by your username when you post, should you wish.

Just go to the my profile page and make your selection.

We'd like to point out that this does not mean any change in policy wrt to avatars, tickers and the like and is by no means the thin end of any wedge.

(I've chosen England for now but reserve the right to switch to Belgium as and when my choice becomes redundant Grin)

I have decided to be a world cup team floozy and just support different teams willy-nilly based on nothing other than whim and whimsy.

Germany now, because they are winning, and because one of my best friends is German. She hates football though.

Later on I might change to Ghana, but only because they are playing and hopefully thrashing the USA.

BIWI - you and I have the same sweep steak team!

NunsArePeopleTooDougal · 16/06/2014 17:17

I got it to work on chrome, by logging out and then in again.

BertieBotts · 16/06/2014 16:59

It's working on Chrome for me.

After the World Cup is over could the flags stay, adding those countries that didn't qualify

Doesn't work on Chrome mobile or desktop - drop down menu shows no options. Fine on Firefox.

Try logging out and in again - worked for me!

Youdontneedacriminallawyer · 16/06/2014 14:32

In the meantime I'm supporting Netherlands, cos I've dran them in the office sweepstake

Youdontneedacriminallawyer · 16/06/2014 14:31

Can I have a Welsh one? I know they're not in the soccer World Cup, but they are touring SA at the moment.

Fenton · 16/06/2014 14:23

I can't choose. It's been hours and I simply can't choose. Hmm

Fun with Flags.

Know how to hold 'em, know how to fold 'em.

EduCated · 16/06/2014 13:51

Gone with Bosnia-Herzegovina. Just because Grin

BIWI · 16/06/2014 13:37

(I didn't even know that was what their flag looked like!)

BIWI · 16/06/2014 13:37

I suppose I should be supporting my sweepstake team ...

AlpacaLypse · 16/06/2014 13:37

Oooo it works!

Me (and all my sisters) have decided to remember we're actually half Dutch. Mostly in order to piss off three out of four of our OHs. The fourth is Scottish and is thus cheering on every other team in England's group in the finest tradition of jock football supporters.
