@bacanito
To be fair the majority of SE users reside outside the North American continent, so one is bound to find mainly Europeans and Asians on Esato.
@bobafett
What are you choosing Sweden for?

@scotsboyuk
Oh, how I would love to change that...there's so much about cellphones and GSM/UMTS that a lot of north americans don't know...The under-development and the fact that SE doens't manufacture CDMA phones also plays a big part...

@energetic - Quite a nice idea you have there ! If only @laffen will be favorable to it I can provide him some Nationality Flags in GIF format that can be placed in our profile box below our 'avatars'. I do have (almost) a complete line of it in my archive . . . .
From:
Australia:
to . . .
Yugoslavia:
I just don't think that we have members here from countries which letters starts with 'Z' - like Zaire and Zimbabwe
Of course this suggestion will just go in vain (as usual) if we are to consider the amount of 'BANDWIDTH' this idea might consume ! |

@ jojo, can we put them in our signature? If so, hook me up with the Colombian flag

@bacanito - My apologies here, but I'm not familiar with the 'hooking-up-signature' thing The only 'hook' thing that I know is that of 'hookers' ! Maybe I can just post it here and see if you can copy it mate.
@moderators - My apologies here (bandwidth issue), but I just cannot upload my GIFs in uploadit.org site - they don't accept, only JPEG/BITMAP formats
Colombia:
Oops . . . I mean this one here :
I hope it's the one you're looking for mate

@jojo
Without wishing to appear churlish I really wouldn't want to display the Union Jack in such a way, banner waving of that kind just isn't the done thing.

I believe it would be nice to add the preference "Nationality" with all countries listed to choose from.
Since the "From" option has been misunderstood from almost everyone of us e.g " From:Home" or "From:A galaxy far away" etc. it will be better and more convinient for all of us to add this "Nationality" feature.

Ones nationality does not necessarily say anything about where one LIVES though..... and the place of residence is important in understanding which service provider one uses etcetera etcetera.

I must say that a flag icon added next to our avatar sounds a good idea but like I said is up to Laffen and the ESATO team to decide this.
Even though we have "Regional Forums" I personally hardly visit them. Once in a while yes, but not often.

Displaying flags in such a manner would use more bandwidth for very little benefit.

No flags then. I have no problem with that. "Nationality:" will do for me and for others I guess.

@scotsboyuk - It's not my fault there mate The strong wind got in the way, and we all know that no one can simply outdo the weather  |
