Hi All,.

This is quite odd - I've got a poster from Costa Rica (I checked their Country in their profile) and yet when they post in the Forums their Country appears as Uruguay... (scroll down to the last few posts of this thread to see it - username dxiri)

Is this a known bug?

This is in no way a bug, all the module does is read the GeoIP data and compare that against the user's IP address. This user is either using some sort of proxy or the database needs updated.

Hmm I see - to the layman I thought it would just be reading the Country value from the profile... I will ask him if this applies to him but I could see how it could be confusing...

Hi there,

is there a way to disable this feature and not show the country?

Yes, I am not sure about this GEO lookup - I get a lot of snotty comments from users using proxies etc. and they try to update their profile country value  - here is an example - see bottom of thread.
