				            <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
                <div class="smallfont">
                    <if condition="$post['joindate']">

				                        <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
                        <if condition="$post['fieldX']"><img src="/images/flags/$post[fieldX].gif" alt="My Country: $post[fieldX]" border="0" /></if>
                        </td>
			
		
Replace field"X" with profile field id no.

Step 3. Download the animated flags from HERE. (Sorry, could not upload at vB.org due to file size limits of 2MB for zip file! This file is 4MB. I could not upload even after spliting the files into 1MB each. If possible vb.org staff could upload the same on vb.org for me from this link. Thanks!). Unzip the flags.zip and upload the folder 'flags' in /images directory of each of your styles. 

And you are Done! nJoy!!
