Thread bump. I noticed that Chess.com has switched to the new Syria flag after the username, but the Passports page still has the old flag.

Hey everyone! 👋
I’ve been looking through the Passports feature on Chess.com, and I’ve noticed that some flags are a bit outdated. There have been a few changes to national flags recently that aren’t reflected yet. Here are a few that need attention:
🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan – In 2023, the flag was adjusted to straighten the sun’s rays.
🇸🇾 Syria – Reverted to its original independence flag in 2024 (green, white, black with three red stars).
🇫🇷 France – The blue shade of France’s flag changed to a darker navy in 2021.
Flags are a symbol of recognition on the global stage. An outdated flag might misrepresent a country’s current political or cultural situation, which could be seen as disrespectful or confusing to those familiar with the changes.
