Tuvalu flag problem
I'm trying to get the Tuvalu flag, without much success. You'd think it'd be easy given that I'm in Tuvalu at the moment, but no! I've tried six different computers, both ISPs here and all register as Australia. I even paid a visit to the government's head of IT to see if he could help and, although he was very friendly, he told me he "wasn't geeky enough" to know the answer! The techies at the other ISP said it should register as Tuvalu and they didn't know why it had changed to Australia. Perhaps this means no Tuvalu flags are currently available. Has anyone picked one up recently and if so, how?
Anyone have any ideas of how I might get the flag? I wouldn't feel bad about using a proxy in this case, since I'm in the country myself, but I imagine that's not possible if the ISPs here don't even register their true location.
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich,
I don't know if Tuvalu is unavailable, but I think is highly improbable.
try visit any other user flagcounter to see if it will be recorded.

Re: Tuvalu flag problem
Hi, Rich.
Yes, there seems to be a problem with Tuvalu flag...
My last visit from Tuvalu was in September, but I know that some collectors got a visit on October 1st. Since then, it's unavailable...
Also, I have some friends currently in Tuvalu and they can't leave me their flag.

Haha, he ain't got 238 countries. Only 234, the counter is screwed up. Some countries are counted twice.
251/251 countries and 3,860/3,860 flags collected.

Yes, that is impressive. I used to get around 150-180, now I don't. I'm too lazy

Re: Tuvalu flag problem
Hello all.
Yes, it's true that my counter has an error and shows 238 instead of 234 flags. But that's because my flag counter was reset 5 times due to a flag counter server crash (that is the reason why I have 3 countries with date January 1, 1970). I had to ask the administrator to fix several problems on my counter, but I didn't ask to fix this flag number issue because it's not such a big problem for me (I know how many flags I have).
Thank you for nice comments about my counter I'm very satisfied with it myself and one of my major goals is to collect most flags over 1000. Also, my goal is to have daily visits from as many countries as possible.
@Holland: I thought you said you were "very busy past few months" and you don't have time for flag collecting. And I see you have time to spend on forums ... Btw, I have 1023 regional flags collected (so far).
