in my opinion yes. Do you know how?
Nope. I posted here in the hopes of getting the attention of somebody who does.

I think maybe Ossicone might be the best person to get in touch about it. I've no idea about that sort of background work, and suspect it's beyond the reach of the Moderators, but it seems to be something the Admins are able to handle (so Ossicone and Aevas). Hope that helps, and if I'm wrong, Ossicone/Aevas, just let me know [:)]

If you want the icon replaced, you need to make the new icon.
Post that and I can update it.

I've removed the old Mississippi icon. If someone wants to make a new one with the new flag we can add that, but on the other hand I don't think I've ever seen this icon used to begin with?

Hah! Yes, of course. I'll fix it when I have some time to spare (I imagine there's no real rush here) [:)]

Since the subject of flag icons is being discussed, were the flag icons for Afghanistan and Karachay-Cherkessia that I made missed/forgotten to be added or was it a decision not to add them? Just seems weird to have flags for some republics of Russia but not all of them, and other countries but not Afghanistan. But maybe they weren't good enough quality? And now Afghanistan's flag is de facto the Taliban flag again, so... uh... uhhh...

But anyway, here they are just in case:
Image <- Afghanistan (even though now it's de facto outdated)
Image <- Karachay-Cherkessia

Since it also looks like there's no flag icon for Adygea, Altai, Bashkortostan, Buryatia, Chuvashia, Kalmykia, Mari or Mordovia either, I now made ones for them too:
Image <- Adygea
Image <- Altai
Image <- Bashkortostan
Image <- Buryatia
Image/Image <- Chuvashia
Image <- Kalmykia
Image <- Mari
Image <- Mordovia

The Adygea one is really messy, though, because it has so many stars in it and they had to be just one pixel... the Bashkortostan one doesn't have much definition, either, but it's recognisable? Two versions of the Chuvashia one because if I made sure to fit the stars/suns into it, they're only one pixel and I'm not sure which is better and more identifiable; the tree should have three thingies, but it'd have covered the entire blob so I only put two. The Mari one is also a mess since there's no way the bear could fit in such a tiny box so it's just random pixels (I tried to cram the sword in as just one line), but it should still be identifiable I think.

EDIT: Made the highlights on the top left less bright on the ones where they stuck out too much.

I would guess "missed/forgotten". I'll put it on my to-do list..!

Extremely stupid but it looks like the Q&A thread in Linguistics and Natlangs is unpinned, unlike the other subfora. Is that a mistake?

I don't know if anyone else has gotten this recently, but I've not been getting notifications for new posts in threads that I'm subscribed to on the Board

For example, I'm subscribed to most of the Quick Questions threads on the forum, so I'd hop on a couple of times a day, and usually I'd have a new notification or two each time. Recently, though, I've noticed that several of these threads are being posted in, but I'm not getting notifications

I'm still getting notification for being quoted in threads, just not for threads being posted in. Has anyone else noticed this as well?

EDIT: These are my current notification settings:

I can't see a reason why notification would have stopped

I’m also having troubles with not getting notifications about threads I’ve subscribed to.
It seems every thread I subscribed to since sometime before 10/26/2022, I do not get notified about.
Has something changed?

Somebody else may have already said.
When I try to post a new message, I get a note 'The page does not work'. When I reload the message has been send anyways. I saw that somebody had doubleposted so I think I am not the only one with the problem. That has been happening for a while.

And I. Ich auch. Moi aussi. Yo tambien.

I didn’t mention it before because I thought the not-getting-notified issue was worse.

I've been getting this now for, I think, a couple of weeks maybe. I assumed it was just a problem on my end [:P]

Today there were several new posts to threads I have subscribed to, and several to threads I have bookmarked, and a few to threads where I’ve both subscribed and bookmarked.
Today I received no notifications at all!
WTF is going on?
