I am trying to upload a new custom flag to replace the old one. I followed the instructions at the bottom of the page, refreshed the page, did practically EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF, but to no avail: I still keep seeing the old one!!!! :mad: :sniper: :mp5: :gundge:

Keep trying.

Hmmmm, if logging in and out and trying again don't work, try making your flag a little smaller.

I have the same problem from time to time. Trying clearing your cache, but other than that just keep refreshing the page by hitting F5. It will eventually change.
All that is Mark

I logged out and back in again, then switched to a random existing flag and updated settings. I then loaded the new flag, hit f5, and went to retry on the send, and it worked. All hail all that is Mark :p !

I just logged in my nation--The new flag was there! I think I got it all figured out now:

NEWBIES PLEASE READ:
Wanna change your custom flag to a different one? Here:
1. Switch to one of the standard flag
2. Save settings
3. Log out, then log back in
4. Add your custom flag.
5. If you still see your old flag, wait a few hours and see what happens. ;)


Thanks for all your help :)

NS is just having a few troubles. That might be the explaination for the flag troubles.

It's much more likely that these flag issues are caused by local or ISP caching than anything wrong with NS. This is particularly true with the new trend of dial-up internet providers offering "five times faster" service. They can't speed up the actual dataflow over a phone line and thru a modem - they do it by fiddling with cache setup.

It's easy to toss blame at Jolt, Sal and [violet], but sometimes it's closer to home. If you don't actually know, it's better not to speculate.

That will explain why it dosn't happen to me then.
