Flag of the Republic of Blanchettia?; also avatar, reminder to IL

To Loop, this may be a reminder towards a PM that I sent him a while back, but as an avatar, I'd like to have the flag of the Republic of Blanchettia. However, for you flag people, it'll sound a bit easy. The flag is technically a modified version of the flag of the pre-1994 South African bantustan of Transkei; the only change is that on the top left corner of the flag, in the horizontal brown band and almost near the corner, there is a huge five-pointed white star, standing for "freedom and independence". This flag (w/o the star) was also the French colonial flag of their Blanchettian colonies and was also the flag of the NRB.

A brief quote from the Blanchettian history thread on what the colours originally meant:

Quote:
 
The flag of the [French colonial] expeditionary force had three horizontal bands: a green band meaning discovery and fortune, a white band meaning peace, and an orange band meaning the land and hardship; the orange band, however, would change, gradually, to a brownish colour, which to some people meant good luck and prosperity.


Today, the three bands stand for:

Brown = Good luck and prosperity
White on the band = Peace and unity
White in the star = Freedom and independence
Green = The land and people

I'm sure that this is not a hard assignment.
Sincerely yours,

That is right. However, the star is completely white.

Can't you just right-click it, go to properties, copy the URL, and paste it into the avatar box?

No, because I'd get this message:

Quote:
 
You are not allowed to upload that type of file as an avatar or personal photo


As a result, someone else would have to host it for me.

Oh, you know what? That may have happened to me. I think it works if you just get into into your 'my pictures' folder and upload it instead of doing it via the internet.

If this makes any sense, try it...

Probably it was created in bitmap or some other format; won't upload unless JPEG.
