Madness! Flags automatically reset!
Whenever I open my profile to edit it, the "nation's flag" field resets to blank. This is unfortunate, since I can't always remember what nation I'm currently from. If the flag field defaulted to whatever nation I'm currently from, then I would be spared from a great deal of the dislocation that comes from being a transient.

Perhaps a Demon is telling you that you should place your true country in the space

Maybe you should put it in your location field as a reminder

This is really not a problem, as even though you might forget what country you are currently from, there's still an alt="Tonga" field in the flag image. Just put your mouse pointer over the flag and you will be reminded what you had chosen. So no problem even for a transient .

Then you should be able to remmeber to put it as your location field! since you are always wishing it.

-
Demons don't dream- but they do care about Locations. If a demon didn't know where he was, then he couldn't BE and since he couldn't BE then he wouldn't exist and then where would he BE?

I don't have a location field. I've just got a longer title field than most people, 'cause I'm special like that.

loin, try feeling passionate about what country you come from before you login. I can't test that one for you, sorry.

Well, I have the dilemmas posed by dual citizenship, so to be fair to both my countries I have to use a third.

Nice to meet another one of those- I have the same thing; tho technically I am a citizen of no country- it's fairly complicated...

Actually I am proud of being a Melbourne person, but I know it is a stupid thing to be proud of. Also, I don't like the OT arguments where people get into the "my country's great, yours sucks" mode. It seems like a pointless thing to be focussing on.
