What country do you live in?

[GooRoo]

I am testing out a script that will slightly modify your profile updating process. Where currently you are asked for your location, there will instead be a drop-down menu box listing several nationz, hopefully all of the onez where Gruntzerz are currently located. Then, if you select "Brazil", the national flag of Brazil will be displayed within your profile, and in the mini-profile on the left side of any postz you have made, replacing the 'location:' text that is there now. I do not have all of the flagz in a 'standard' size ... yet, but I believe that new onez are being created continually. Those that are missing I hope to have filled in, in the not too distant future.



for a small sample of what you will see.

Well, the script that was supposed to modify the profile updating process does not work. I installed it on the Test Forum, and tried to modify my own profile there to see if every single entry (including "other") would display a flag (or nothing, if "other" was selected). But the drop-down menu simply did not exist. So back to the old drawing board, to see if I can wangle an update to the script that will work on the current version of the ProBoards software. Speaking of which, the software will soon be upgraded from PBV4 to PBV4.5 ... it will be interesting to see what happenz when that takez place!

It really helpz if you enter a number in each of the array definition boxez! (Which I did not do when I added the script to the Test Forum.) Then when I corrected that mistake, I had the script in twice! ( again) Once I removed the extra copy, there was a very nice (single!) drop-down menu box listing 59 selectionz! I only tested the United States of America selection, but that displayed the USA flag very nicely, and it appeared in place of the text, just as the write-up said it would. Amazing that when you properly follow the directionz, and fill in all the required blankz, how thingz somehow alwayz seem to just work better!

It is looking great, no matter what size!

[BattlezM]

Personally, I think the flag size should be reduced. I seems a bit of a distraction to me...

[alexandgruntz]

Some flags are smaller than others, the NZ flag is a decent size.

[Gaby]

the difference in sizez is because the download was made from two websitez... IMHO the smaller size is more elegant... ...

[GooRoo]

We can go the source of the smaller imagez, and download replacementz for the larger imagez (that I located). It is little effort to (re-)upload imagez to the web host with the same name as the onez already in use. That way, the existing script will work just fine ... virtually automatic!

[alexandgruntz]

Now the location of Grunterz worldwide will stand out!

I've only seen one from USA though - itz ^

[GooRoo]

So far, I have only seen one Gruntzer from each country. (Only those people who have posted in this thread.)

It's about your location... ... the title of this thread is "What country do you live in?"

[frikzoogoo]

Well i personally think it's brilliant to have dem cool wavy flags! Why doesn't facebook or Myspace allow it I ask? My compliments to gooroo. oh and err... since this is a thread in all and we're talking about what country we're from and since this is in the miscolaneous (oh the agony of my bad spelling!) I just wanna tell every ENGLAND person in this Gruntz forum - IN YOUR FACE! SOUTH AFRICA (my country) BEAT U IN RUGBY!!!

[alexandgruntz]

Don't mention rugby. We hate the All Blacks now.

[Frikzogo]

tell me abut it! I could not believe my eyes When France whipped them, but I cant say they didn't deserve it.

What bout Australia - I see that's your nationality - How do you like their team?

[alexandgruntz]

All Blacks = New Zealand. I'm a Kiwi.

The Aussie flag is similar to New Zealand's, but theirs has an extra star underneath the Union Jack.

[frikzoogoo]

CALLING ALL SOUTH AFRICANS! CALLING ALL SOUTH AFRICANS! Even if you're just a visitor. Please if you're a South African gruntz lover - let me know!

All my friends only know about Half-life, halo, Need for Speed, Starwarz, Doom, Gears of War, Total war, Battle for middle Earth... BLA BLA BLA!!! (sure they're excellent titles, but still...) But no Gruntz! Did Gruntz even ever get exported to this country???
