forum_emoticons.html	[quote=ingo,37436]When you are engaged to create these many different flags, it would be nice, if you could look for the other German ones, too. It's historically really no correct to list the German-pre-war-vehicles (exactly all pre-1919 and 1933-1945-vehicles) with the black-red-gold flag. In fact these colours were strictly forbidden in the Nazi-time and in the emperor's time until 1918, too. See here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagge_Deutschlands#Weimarer_Republik Otherwise: until 1959 the DDR-flag was "logo-less" black-red-gold until 1959, too - but this would IMHO not nice, if all the IFA's, Framo's, etc. will getting this flag, too. "IMHO", because I dislike, if all the DDR-stuff would be irritatingly mixed up with cough real German stuff. Back to Belgium: does Eupen/Malmedy has an own flag? I've seen, that they don't want to belong to the Wallonie. When I've been there, many bilingual street-signs were "repainted" - someone has smeared black paint over all Frech terms...[/quote]

Thanks

On the site you can use [flag=US], [flag=FR], etc. for example

Do you mean so they can be posted like this?

Do we have BBCode for flags pictures in IMCDb.org?

Gomsel

ok

Ddey, as I said: "US stats may be more useful, but even there the "USA" info is enough I think."
-> Before adding provinces of various countries, we should add US stats, but as I said even for that having just "USA" is enough, so I won't add a more detailed level.
Imagine the list to manage if we should have provinces of each country. Which may also depend on the year ! e.g. factories in Brussels (currently Audi factory which makes the A1) is now in Brussels-Capital region and not in a province anymore, but before 1989 that region did not exist: it was just a city in Brabant province (which itself was split in two in 1995)

Its only a suggest, and are an optional only.

So are we going to start seeing flags for Hondas built in Marysville, Ohio, or Timmonsville, South Carolina now?

Port Jefferson, New York actually built a Brass-era car for one year. I don't necessarily think I'd like to see a Port Jefferson flag if it turns up on the site. I'll stick with a USA flag.

antp

That's too much work: the country isn't already always properly filled, and the info about the province is not so useful :tongue:

US stats may be more useful, but even there the "USA" info is enough I think.

Will be a little complicated... but as an optional, add flags of provinces or states where they are manufactured vehicles (located next to the flag of the country) would be an interesting idea if you could, right? but as I said, it would be confusing. What you think of the idea?

And... in this link, flags of the argentine provinces:
