I have "searched" before asking... But how to add those flags in the signature?

In the signatures, I see the colons and country codes only in people's signatures. Not the flags themselves. Is there something that is blocking the images?

I can't see anyone's flags. They all look like colons and codes.

I guess you are using Chrome.
Try Firefox or Opera.

It's working in Chrome for me.

The Latin flag is hosted on https://postimg.cc/ while the other flags seem to be on https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/

Maybe something (like a browser addon or a firewall) is blocking these images?

Personally I would prefer if the flags could be hosted on duome.eu instead of external servers.
@duome I wonder if this would be possible?

Adding them as emojis or just uploading the images on Duome? Because Twemojis are all displayed with 18x18 pixels (even if they are actually bigger), while the non-emoji flags have different sizes that are too noticeable, and that looks strange.

Right. I’ve just resized my Latin flag so that it more similar to the others. It still isn’t aligned with the other flags, though.

That's precisely the problem I'm having with my Esperanto flag. I have not only resized it to 18x18 pixels, but also moved the flag to the top of the image, leaving the four transparent rows below it, but not even like that I could get a perfect alignment.

Does it happen for all the flags in all the signatures, or just for some of them? Can you see the flags in my post?

UPDATE:____________
So, as I asserted originally, I said that I would update this post with results of using a different browser. Before I have been using Pale Moon, but below I was using Firefox, and with Firefox, I saw the flags. Now, I am logged on using another browser, 'Vivaldi', and with Vivaldi, I can see all the flags.
____________________

I know that this was asked of HeyMarlana, and not everyone, sorry if I am butting in. I just went through a big surprize though. I think it is because I do not normally use the 'Firefox' browser. The discussion was confusing for me, and I think that had something to do with it (the fact that I do not log on with that browser normally).

I am now logged on with Firefox. I see every one of the above flag images.
Before I was using a different browser, and I do not think I was seeing anything at all. I was not even seeing the "colons." I was just about, totally confused as to what this topic was even discussing!

I will check back again with the other browser, just out of curiousity. I would like to read my own reply here, with it, just to see if the images disappear again!

Thanks so very much.
Keep up the good work.

Why does your flag for Catalonia Image have vertical stripes? Being there, I've never seen such, generally four horizontal red stripes on yellow (the icon of Catalan language here), sometimes with a red star on a yellow triangle (not recently) or a white star on a blue triangle – I guess the last two are "independistas".

Why does your flag for Catalonia Image have vertical stripes?

Welcome! It's because we want to focus the debate on the Catalan language, and not on the territory where it's spoken. Since the flag with horizontal stripes is very politicized, we have thought of using its "flag shield", vertical stripes, with a cultural history behind it. :)
