Look next to your name, it will show you your country's flag.

They are most probably IP based yes, ISP based would be the same actually. The other thing they could check for is the accept language the browser sends but that's not as accurate.

No, they're based by IP. There are a couple of companies that keep an extensive and accurate database of IP-to-country records that I had to import for this to work.

I'm the bawss.

Crimson, I'll bet in the first few lines of the "read me" it probably said "make sure you back-up your forum directory before attempting upgrade"..

Has anyone seen ack lately? It's been so damn long since I've felt the presence of an asshole around here.

Wow, those flags are a really neat addition -- I had no idea we had so many members from across the pond!

And I agree, the forum has felt a lot nicer since Johnny boy left...

Personally, I feel like a big anchor has been taken from my ankle. I have felt 1000% more motivated to work on all my projects now that I don't have to deal with everyone who didn't like him who complained to me.

I'm the bawss.
