I do miss the national flags that used to appear on each person's descriptive outline. It's a bit disconcerting to comment that one might go to the local Pigly-Wiggly to pick up a cake of beeswax, only to find out that the recipient resides in Whodunit, Bavaria. It was easy to see the country of origin with a quick glance to the side of the page. Just saying. Mike

I agree with Mike, well not because they are pretty, but I recently talked to someone about him selling his Boss and didn't realize he was in Sweden. I would have immediately realized at LEAST he wasn't in the USA even if I didn't know what country the flag was from. Cheryl

Wish I could leave to Knut. How nice it would be to be in a world for a short time and just talk about leather and sewing machines, and which hand do you use hand stitching. Who your favorite leather worker is, you know things that life doesn't interfere with. Plus who WOULDN'T want to go to Sweden? I was in Germany, Switzerland and Italy years ago. So don't be surprised if you hear a knock (yeah right after I win a lottery I don't play and pigs fly) Still a nice dream. Cheryl

Yeah the flags were one of the things I missed when we first got the new site..

Don't get me wrong. I love some of the new features we have and I appreciate the work that's gone into making it run smoothly, but some people don't leave a clue as to where they're at in the world on their profile..and it does help, when you're holding a conversation, IMHO..

I found that it was always a good reminder, that the site is globe spanning, that not everyone on the site was in the USA and that some were indeed, a lot closer to home..

Regards, not whining..lol

And Cheryl, if you go down south from Knut (like 8-900 miles or so) I'll always have a couch to sleep on and a leather shop to visit :-)

You folks are making this so hard. Now I really do want to go to Sweden, could visit two friends on the same trip and pick up a sewing machine. How fun that would be. Better start saving my pennies TODAY. Don't be surprised you two :-) Cheryl

The flags are from a modification we did 3 boards ago. The feature has always had problems, but I kept it because of the convenience. The latest version available seems to work, but it's missing the country of Israel. Strange. huh? So I Googled the developer's name. Oh, yuck, I don't want to buy anything from someone so hateful. So I am looking for another country flag mod, and the info is still being collected for use, but I'd rather wait to find a clean version than to use the one currently being offered. I am not the only board owner upset about the anti Semitic stuff, so I expect something soon. Cheers.

PS I wanna go to Sweden too!
