this is the normal line:

<if condition="$post[field18]"><img src="images/flags/$post[field18].gif" border="0" /></if>

this is what i changed it to:

<if condition="$post[field18]"><img src="images/flags/$post[field18].gif" border="0" alt="$post[field18]" /></if>

So this way it pops up the countryname when hoovering over the flag
just a simple alt tag...

This tweak works nice!

Let us know, please.

YES, but two should be edited depending on wether you use the side or top style info.

They should be postbit and postbit_legacy.

Also, vB 3.01 FIXES the 32 line drop down limit.

Just curious. It seems that whatever I do, the user is prompted with the first item in the list of countries. What I want to accomplish is for the user to see a blank country resulting in an error if they do not select one from the list.

I have also tried insert a blank line at the beginning as well.

Thanks!

I don't know if my setup on 3.01 wil help you.
I used "Yes, but leave a blank space."

I am using 3.01 and I tried both options. Both presents the first item in the list even if I include a blank line at the top. :S

Is anyone that is using this hack able to present the user with a BLANK entry while requiring the user to SELECT a NON-BLANK selection before continuing?

[leitel]

Additionally, for those of us using this hack, it would be helpful if when a user comes to the site AND has NOT yet made his selection of a country be PROMPTED to make his selection BEFORE continuing to use the site. I recall in a previous version of vB this being possible. I'll go fish a bit more on this as well.

ooohhh... yah.... cuz after the vb3 upgrade... everyone will lose the vb2 hack with their flag so they should be prompted to update their info...

any update on this?
