Changes to the display of Forums, Group Icons and Houses.

Oh no, too many images. RUN AWAY!
You may have noticed from viewing various posts around the forum today that some users now have a flag above their group name, or you may have noticed that flags are appearing at the right hand side of the forum sections similar to the embassy section.
Worry not! We've not confused the embassy sections with the general forum.
Originally, when we adopted a House system, the main categories were named after a House. For instance, Alexandria got Foreign Affairs, Embassies and World Assembly Affairs. Karnak got The Deshret, Security Council and the Courts. Giza got the cultural sections.
The layout was decided in order to make the House system more visible, but it also messed the layout up and generated quite a few more categories, thus the House section was moved to the top of the Community and Culture category with the Houses inside it. Recently, after a discussion with Cormac earlier, I decided to add the flags that the sections themselves are meant to reside in.
I also went down the House section and added their flags. I am still waiting on flags for Houses Koth, Dreizehn, Bright-Axe and North. I also added the flag for Isaraider and Somerset to Severisen and Cormac's group icons respectively.
Full list of changes:
Added the ISRA flag to:
The ISRA Barracks - accessible to only members of the ISRA/Sekhmet Legion
Added the Holy City of Thebes Flag to:
The Temple of Osiris
Shrines of Nekhen
The Temple of Isis
