Please Use Standard Flag Images #49

The flag "on" image features the pirate flag, which was identified by our Sociology professors as a possible trauma trigger. I imagine that it was intended to be playful, but it's not necessary and uses non-standard flag indicators.

I think it actually looks more like the ISIS flag, so that is even more traumatic!

Anyway, on a more serious note the reason that there is a separate flag specifically for the plugin is that we use one here that it is different to the main moodle flag.

Not sure why the pirate style flag is included, we don't use that here - we override at theme level.

Which is what I would suggest you do (theme/yourtheme/pix_plugins/mod/forumng/flag.on.png) or just replace the ones in the plugin dir with your icons of choice.

I will replace the flags with copies of the core ones at some point in the near future (so will leave this issue open till then so I don't forget).

It is a pirate flag and ISIS weren't around when I made that icon! (Not sure why it didn't use the Moodle standard flag icon, maybe there wasn't a suitable one at that point in 1.x.)

I suppose Moodle might be used near Somalia or for, I don't know, providing training for ship captains or something, so maybe that would be a problem.
