Flags and countries
|
|
Hello!!
First of all I�d like to say how wonderful this site is! I teach in a public school in Brazil and all the material has helped me a lot! So, thank you all!
When I download something or even read the messages , I get curious where the people are from . The flags are great , but difficult to recognize all of them. So, I would like to know if it is possible to have the names of the countries below the flags.
Great weekend!

Point the cursor (mouse) to the flag. Right click - Save the picture as - and you will see the name of the country.
Each flag �s name is identical to the country where the teacher is from.
When I right-clicked your flag + srolled down to Save As, I could see the name of your flag - "Brazil"

It would be easier if the name of the country appeared under the flag, wouldn �t it?! It �s just my opinion... ;)) |

I couldn �t agree more.
I have the same strong desire to know where everyone is from and the save as suggestion will be difficult and waste time. Let �s say, we are too lazy to do that every time we want to know where someone is from.

Linda, sometimes when one works everyday, the three periods of the day and don �t have time for onerself or for the most beloved ones, it �s not a question of laziness, but a question of practicality!!! It �s not an opinion, it �s a fact - at least mine!!!! |

Hi Wakebeauty
May be you are right, as far as it concerns to me I don �t work 3 periods, I just go on for about almost 18 hours a day.
I guess people who work that hard don �t care that much about flags,just me thinking about me.
Anyway, it was just a comment, less than a secong is not time, unless it means a vital second.
Don �t worry about it, I always say what I feel, I feel some now and then, some people are too much demanding as to others � duties and this is something that disturbs me.
Keep cool, tomorrow is Saturday, we can relax a little from the usual tasks and dedicate ourselves to the others, weekend job - LOL
Have a nice weekend, my dear
Hugs
Linda

Right click the flag under the member �s pic, choose "properties" and you �ll be able to see where s/he �s from.
When nothing happens on the forum and I �m bored without anything important to do (rarely) I have some fun and practice some geography clicking on the members � flags.
I �ve learned a lot (and remembered a lot from elementary school) in the rare occasions I �ve got some free time to have fun without engaging in discussions on the forum.
Have a great weekend you all.
EDIT: Already able to recognize up to 6 flags - including Brazil. |

Aaah, Zalida �s suggestion worked on my computer--thank you!
Up �til now I haven �t known how to figure out where the flag was from other than to look it up online. (My favorite is http://www.photius.com/flags/flag_identifier.html )
However, what I �ve been doing for the past couple of months is making my own little chart. Every time I see a flag I don �t recognize in the forum, I check my chart. If it �s a new one, I add it. I �m getting pretty good at associating flags and countries now! 
If anyone wants a copy of the chart, pm me with an email address and I �ll send it.
