I'd like to replace the location field with this one, will it work if I just changed the location field to show country flags instead? Or do I have to empty the contents of location field of all members first?

The location field is a single-line text box and the flag field is a single-selection menu. There is no way I know of to change a field without deleting and recreating it. More advanced vB users may have more info on this. I have only been using vB for a week.
California was misspelled in the selection menu (calafornia) and a user told me it did not work. I did not confirm that but I changed it to "california" (proper spelling) and then he said it worked.
The Canadian province of Newfoundland is mis-spelled as "new foundland" in your menu. It should be one word.
A user has asked for the addition of the flag of England, which is not the same as the flag of the United Kingdom (he says).
Also, would it be possible to release a version with the proper capitalization?
I'm not complaining. It's just that USA looks better than "usa", etc.
No idea, I created the mod because I wanted it in the postbit. Im sure you can search for adding things to the user profile and then use the provided code.

It's an awesome mod and my users love it so far.
Thanks.
Corrected california and newfoundland. The flag of england was in the region list, I added it to the country list and folder.
The list of country/region names has to match the name of the image associated with it. This means if I change the list to be properly capitalized I have to change every single flag name as well. I agree with you that it would look better, but I don't currently have the desire to change that many names, sorry. You could easily do it if you have the time. Just make sure the text you insert into the profile field matches the flag names exactly.
I don't know if anyone will find this useful, but I took the country flag list and ran it through Microsoft Word. They've got a capitalization feature that not too many people know about. And I did a batch rename of the images folder so that all the names would match up. There were a handful of spelling errors in a few country names, so I made sure to correct those and match up the text file with the images. Everything should be formated and matched properly, but if it isn't let me know.
Like I said, I don't know if you'll find it useful, but since someone mentioned it, I'd thought I'd share what I did for my forum with you. I intend to do the regions folder next, just didn't have the time tonight. I'll post it when it's done.
But for some reason only admins can see the flags and not registered users. When they select there country i can see their flags, but they cant see their own or mine. Anyone know whats wrong?
