I see that for quite a few people. I have no idea what causes it.

I believe the '00' is a reference for no country.
It's possible this has been removed from the forum at some point? I remember there being discussions about whether it should be allowed or not.

Yes, I think it's supposed to just show nothing now, I.E. no country tag at all. But it's possible the older users still have the 00 tag because it just doesn't remove it.

P.S. Why is Antarctica still allowed? I've seen several people with it (probably just being funny).

Technically there are permanent residents of Antartica and it would be useful to uniquely identify distinct them from their host countries, ban that and people will just pick some other minor country to hide behind.

Or you could take the whole 10 seconds to check and see that yes its still there and yes it still works.

I cut out the middle man and stick a small country in my profile picture.

The funny part is why I even put it there in the first place, as I have nothing outside a cursory connection to Italy, never mind San Marino. The only reason I put it as my profile picture is that i like the unique design of the flag.
I forget who I am sometimes, but then I remember that it's probably not worth remembering.

Also seen a black flag (broken?) from time to time, forget who/why.

Yep, I see it too, this file is missing: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Themes/default/images/flags/00.png

Aha, that makes sense. It seems to me that the missing 00.png is a relatively recent thing.

Anyone know what the missing 00.png should show?

From memory, a solid black rectangle.

Maybe they live in the north pole...like some sort of Santa Clause. :P I mean, Antartica has already been colonized apparently...

I have seen the 00 missing indicator for many months (going on perhaps for a year?)
Yes, I also thought that 00 was supposed to be a plain black field.

I thought 00 was Nibiru, land of the reptilians.
