oh, really? GeoIP is guesswork with some input from a variety of sources, some of which is public (whois, which, well, is often wrong, since it is the information about the -network- not the host) and some which is private (including things like addresses filled out on orders, which is also wrong since people may very well order something to be shipped or billed elsewhere). My parents routinely 'move' several hundred miles according to Google Analytics. > > I followed your advice though, created an account there, did a reset > and now I live in.... Australia. I'll give it some more time. You don't need to do a 'reset', you need to attach your MySB account to Radiotime. It can take a while for Radiotime to propogate your location, usually a few hours is sufficient though. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77309 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
