Only 10K for flag! The Japanese flag is 22K!

I don't like the 10K rule for flags, for crying out loud the Japanese flag is 22K! If people want to Japanese flag, then the server difference isn't going to matter, this is unfair, make it at least 15K! AT least! This doesn't give people enough to creat their own flag. It's unfair, look at what my flag has dimineshed to! Please change this, I would sacrifice a fast server for a better flag!

This is not going to happen. Additionally, you can have darned spiffy flags for 10K -- look at the amazing variety of flags people have uploaded at 10k. (Like mine... like any of 1InfiniteLoop's... like Carterway's... just for example.)

Mine (copywrite in progress) is less than 2kb...

Try to keep your flag near the 107x71px reccomended, and in gif format, you'll have no probs

Our Worshipful Guild of Vexillographers advises that the 10k limit on flag size is no problem at all. Even JPGing at 100% quality, they've never run into a size problem. (A 107x71, 100% quality JPG of the Japanese national flag is 4k.)

If you're having a problem creating a suitable flag at an acceptable size, the Guild would be happy to try to help. Their Web site is at

They also have a link to 1 Infinite Loop's service, if you'd rather try him.
