So far I've done all flags for the countries I have visited. Flags for the additional nationalities of drivers that gave me rides will follow (in a future) [[User:Prino|Prino]] 13:28, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
: By the way, it should be possible to upload SVGs here. That way we could completely avoid any conversion problems. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 13:56, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
::The File upload page does not seem to allow .SVG, but I haven't tried it. However, you must be aware that older browsers do not support .SVG files and I'm not sure if one of the newer (aka the piece of junk from M$) ones does. Also, if I try to upload '''Flag_of_the_Netherlands.svg''' I get the following message: "# A file with this name exists already, please check File:Flag of the Netherlands.svg if you are not sure if you want to change it." Clicking on the link will go to a page that tells me "This file is from a shared repository and may be used by other projects. The description on its file description page there is shown below" And it doesn't show up in [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Special:ListFiles?limit=50&ilsearch=Netherlands&title=Special%3AListFiles Special:ListFiles], so how does the link to [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_Netherlands.svg Wikimedia Commons] work? Another problem is of course the case-sensitivity, if I try to upload "Flag_of_'''T'''he_Netherlands.svg", the system will happily let me do so. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 19:2346, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
: Also, I wonder what the reason is, to re-upload images in the same resolution? They look completely the same for me. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 14:15, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
::The PNGs I uploaded are exactly the same, but PNGOUT is capable of compressing them significantly better in many cases, which should save some bandwidth... Look at some of the bigger files I replaced in the changelog! [[User:Prino|Prino]] 19:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
