Hi Guys

Just a thought about a mod that I & maybe others would find useful

what about a small country flag next to members posts or in profile so other members can see where other members are from also this would help admin & moderators keep an eye on spammers that just register to spam your forum later on

Would this be a easy mod to create?

UK Bike Forum - The biggest motorcycle forum magazine in Wales UK.
Gear Up Magazine - Gear Up Motorcycle Magazine.
United Bikers UK Motorcycle Forum - A Brand New UK Bike Forum.
Used Cars South Wales - Search For Your Next Used Car In Laleston, Bridgend, South Wales.
Bikers Of Wales Motorcycle Website - Motorbike Info
Honda - Honda UK

Yep something like that but instead of them choosing a flag they get one based on their IP address
that way there is no cheating

Illori

not all ip address stick to certain countries, they can change and not all ranges are just used in a certain country so that type of mod would be hard to make.

That could be possible, but will involve to search in a HUGE Ip's database for it's REAL IP country....

Or maybe someone could adapt this code to work with SMF: http://phpweby.com/software/ip2country
