Hello
I have a suggestion.
It would be nice to be able to hang the flags for each country.
More fun, what do you think?
Regards
Maelys

I do not know why it would be more fun, or less fun for that matter.

I do think you run into trouble with countries that change their flags. Posting the German Empire's last flag might get this site banned in several countries, including Germany.

Finally, it would be nicer in addition to the name it is, the flag would be the best.
For those who have changed flags, they have no idea... We could already put those who are not present and who have not changed.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to not just post an image of the flag, but a postage stamp of that country on which the flag is depicted?
This may not work everywhere, but it will undoubtedly work in a large number of countries.

Hello Maëlys,
Yes it would be too good an idea It would allow you to recognize the country because a stamp is less eloquent and sometimes not to make the wrong page and country consequently. Good evening

Maelyys stripspeldjes ERIC69160, good idea, seems very recognizable to me as just a random stamp placed.

I don't see the point of a flag image, it has no added value for me in the stamp section. I prefer to see a distinctive seal or motif of that country.

I like the suggestion of stripspeldjes. This will rarely work in dead collection areas, because multi-colour printing often did not exist or such a stamp had never been issued when the area existed.

I wonder how many flags people know. Because the name of the area is quite legible next to it, it will not add much to recognizability. On the other hand, people can learn which flag belongs to the country.

Of course, that's still not the case if that flag is changed. And more often than not, that has happened through decolonization. For collectors who avoid the abundance of stamps with absurd postage values, often aimed at the collectors market and rarely or never used, the most modern flag will not be representative of the area at all.

Personally, I would like a uniform choice, but changing images can only be done by administrators and they already have enough work, which is more of a priority in my view.
