Is this a flag glitch?

The avatar is gone from this user, as is his flag. I've actually seen this before... Is this a glitch, or have they uploaded a blank file, or is it something with my computer?

Besides, the dimentions for his flag are: 168,430,187 x 168,430,151 pixels

It says 0px × 0px (scaled to 85px × 16px) on my information page. What does it look like to everyone else? On the forums, there is no avatar, and it is replaced with the words 'User Avatar' and his nation page shows a box with 'National Flag' inside. Is that what everyone else sees? If not I'm guessing it's just our computers, since it is different for both of us.

Btw, did my computer just admit to multiplying by 0 and getting a non-0 answer? :blink:

Well here is a screencap of his nation page: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p292 ... e_flag.jpg

Ditto. Hmm. Wish I knew more about tech stuff. :lol:

Interesting.

His flag probably got deleted by a moderator.

EDIT: Nope. The flag had errors in it. I've deleted it now.

Wouldn't that have just reverted it to the Defaut Flag?

That's what has always happened in the cases I've seen.

Took me a while, but I figured out how to make it happen.

You could have just asked me.

Asked you what? That's what this thread was, I was asking if it was a glitch which I was told it wasn't.

EDIT: Does the new flag mean I'm NOT allowed to make the error happen on my puppets? If it is hurting something or admins don't like it I won't do it again.

Well, you're causing people to download a file that has errors in it and is never displayed. In the best case, it's a waste.

Are you saying there's some sequence of actions in the game that causes the image to get errors in it, or are you just uploading an invalid image to start with?

True.

The image uploader won't let you choose a file that doesn't exist, or change what is typed in the text box to a file that doesn't exist, but you can choose a file on your computer and delete from your computer it before you hit upload. So it's not a glitch, just a way around.

In that case, you uploaded a random chunk of data from your hard drive/memory. Maybe I should have read it before deleting it. 8)

I'm pretty sure it was the flag to an old region... Can't recall. *shrugs*

Although, perhaps it was pictures you shouldn't see. :lol:

Is this a flag glitch?
