Impressive how it does the harakat as well.

patrickas, unless you want to alienate friends and disenchant people, please don't use a national flag to stand for a language. It irks me when I see the British/American flag used to mean "English Language"; just yesterday we were talking about a site that used the Saudi flag to mean "Arabic language".

Either use the letter `Ain ع. Or if you need a flag to fit in with the rest of your icon set, use the flag of the Jami`a alarabia:

Good luck, you have a "cool", darling of the media competitor :-(




Thanks for the feedback!

The flag is a bug not a feature! It was supposed to display the flag of the country the user is connecting form but I messed up the geolocation api and forgot to remove it :-) It is gone now. (actually replaced by a white image until I have time to work on geolocation again).

Having a "cool", darling of the media competitor is not so bad actually keeps me from getting too lazy.
