This changed a day or so ago.

A bug or did someone play a clever trick? :smile:

You appear to be using a proxy server in Germany (NordVPN?). You can put whatever text you want in the "Location" field, but the flag uses your IP address for geolocation.

I'm actually using one in the Netherlands to the best of my knowledge

Edit:

I switched to a Spanish one and it still shows Germany!

It'll show you the flag for the location (it thought) you were in when you made the post. So it's stamped, if you like, rather than dynamic.

Your most recent post shows the Spanish flag.

LOL good point. I clearly don't know my flags of the world well enough.

np, if you hover over the flag you get a nationality reveal, another Ythan special.

Okay I tracked this down. We had to update our IP geolocation library. Apparently the database we were using stopped being updated in 2018. :tongue: I believe there should be more accurate location results now. Thank you for catching that! I never would have noticed.

You're welcome! I recently decided to just share my location and suddenly one day my dutchie flag changed to the german one. I wondered, maybe someone was toying around a bit.

Thanks for trackig it down and taking care of it, for all us foreigners not in area code 1 :laugh:
