It's not a huge deal. I haven't updated my IP database in quite some time. It really doesn't matter anymore anyway since we can now detect what region you are playing on.

Still... Denmark never has, never will be a part of United Kingdom..
However, history shows, that England and Scotland has been under Danish rule, so it's actually a matter of pride and patriotism..

Does that mean, you'll take action to correct the problem?

it's been noted before that it was an old ip comparison table that hasn't been uploaded, as a method of differentiating EU uploads and US uploads. Now it doesn't matter, so the IP/Location verbiage is just a vestigial function of the upload process.

How would you feel if, when you upload, the homepage says you live in Canada (I see you live in USA)?? Would YOU feel good about that?
Don't say it doesn't matter... As an american, you of all people should know the meaning of the word PATRIOTISM..

As soon as the site starts ranking updates by country I'll care. Easier solution for Rollie would be just to comment out the verbiage. It'll still register as a UK IP, just not tell you.
Americans are as fickle as any other country. Any country in a war is just as patriotic.

It doesn't matter. I mean who really cares what country people live in. I am a citizen of EARTH.

I'm a citizen of denmark.. Some argue that I'm european, or scandinavian, but those thing will ALWAYS be 3rd and 2nd to Danish..
Being a patriot is the last thing we have left in a globalised world..

I'll just remove the IP display, it no longer matters anyway =)
