Hi,
Who put that Dutch flag at the right side of my name?
Please get rid of it.

Elzo, de driekleur ???
You can turn it on or off when you edit your profile.

Hi ststone,
Your Dutch is excellent!
I did not know I can turn it off. It just popped up today.
Thanks
BTW my name is with a "s"
So now the flag is gone but the country is still the Netherlands. How is that possible?
The ways of the moderators are hard to fathom...

does the diyaudio swedish flag
have the correct proportion of the fields?

Looks as it is rather good, by the fields.

Colours Of the Swedish Flag

Colours of the Flag
I have found a CMYK-color representation of the colors in the Swedish flag in the book Svenska Flaggan by Jan von Konow:
Blue: 10% Yellow, 50% Magenta, 100% Cyan
Yellow: 100% Yellow, 20% Magenta

When I used that settings in Corel PhotoPaint and translated them into RGB colors it went:
Blue..: 0,127,229
Yellow: 255,204,0

Elso, sorry...
I have an uncle named Elzo, he lives in The Hague.
It must have been a Freudian slip or some other kind of underwear.

When we swedes ruled norway also 1844-1905,
we had this flag, with a little "norwegian field".
We have ruled over Finland also, way back.

/halo - belongs to the ruling people in scandinavia
(he does not mention that danish king ruled big parts of sweden back in time)

Hi,

Elso,

Would you feel more comfortable to carry the Euro-flag?

I know I would...I have my ancestors all over Europe so I never felt Belgian anyway.

Maybe this could be made a choice in our profile too?

L'union fait la force,

the Swedes will always rule Norway, in my heart. This is due largely to the band Ah-ha, of course, and my fondness for "Take on me".

It is a choice... go ahead and change your flag to whatever you wish (we are going to reserve the UN flag for the Mods). It is a selection under the Edit Profile in your user control panel.

I am sorry if we offended anyone when the flags got turned on... we sent a semi-intelligent spider thru the top 50 posters or so, and used whatever info was already in your profile to select a flag. By jumpstarting the process of user flag selection, the hope was to make the place a little more colorful and to emphasis the wonderful diversity on the forum.
