LocationUK Various locations

I notice that on my profile to the left I have a us flag. I'm guessing that was a default? I've changed my location to UK and my timezone us, and always has been, set to London. Yet it's still a us flag.

How do I change this. I'm not offended, being us born, but I'm located in the UK so probably fairer on everyone else if my current location is set properly.

When looking at the profiles of both of you I see that Penny has a metadata "Country" saying "United States" and another called "Location" saying UK.

On dcbear's account this metatag "Country" is not present, only the location one.

Penny: Lady Phoenux - Viewing Profile - NikonForums.com
dcbear: dcbear78 - Viewing Profile - NikonForums.com

However I don't know why some have this metatag and others don't. Neither do I know how to edit.

Pirates don't get one (at least that's what your avatar looks like to me).

Jerry doesn't have a flag or location - or he has chosen not to fill out the location...the location field is editable in your profile...I don't see an option in the profile to add, change or remove the flag...I'm sure Adam will chime in with his expert knowledge soon!

I also do think it is a matter for @Adam

My impression is however that it is the field COUNTRY, if present in the profile, and not the field Location that triggers the flag. In my profile that field is not present; but maybe it was added for new members, when an update of the underlying database was done.

I think it was an optional field, without the asterisk when I signed up but Adam seems to have changed that later on.

Yes, I remember selecting it when I signed up...Since I don't see it in the profile, my guess is that it is only selectable when signing up...but I'm guessing there is no reason it couldn't be made available for modification at some point in the future...
