Flag counter for forums

1. Create a counter

Open Create a flag counter, pick colors and layout, then create. Use Previewon the form (or the non-counting live preview on the stats page) so you don't inflate your own totals while editing. Save the one-time password (or sign in so the counter attaches to your account).

2. Copy the BBCode embed

After create (or on the counter's stats page), copy the BBCode snippet. It looks like:

[URL=https://flagcounter.me/details/{code}][IMG]https://flagcounter.me/{code}[/IMG][/URL]

Replace {code} with your public code if you're writing it by hand. Some boards use slightly different tags — the important part is the flagcounter.me/{code} image URL.

3. Paste into your forum

Put the BBCode in a signature, profile, or post where the board allows images. When other members view the page, their browsers load the image and the counter updates pageviews and country flags.
