Hi All
Just in the process of moving over to vBulletin from WebWiz and have had a problem where user's put anything they like in the location field of their profile. Their location field is important in my forums so I want to know if there is any way that I could get the user's State and City/Suburb location from their IP Address and it be automatically inserted in their Location field?

Regards
Ian

Looking for same thing. Or at least have it resolve to the who's online menu from quick links.

I'm working on something like this. I want it to fill in a custom profile field with the users country name based on thier IP addresses.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
