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 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.

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

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

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

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.

Okay, I've gone with Portugal for the time being, since that's the team youngest boy pulled out of a hat at school for whatever they're up to there.
