Everyone is from Canada?

Ah yes it seems that reloading the page seems to be a trigger for this bug.

Reloading (after waiting) is a trigger for the bug, but it's perfectly capable of screwing it up on first load for me.

I'm noticing little flags next to everyone's profile info near their avatar on the left, for most people this appears to be a Canadian flag. Even ED shows up as being from Canada.

HUH?

I see a US flag for you.

It's showing all flags properly for me (using Chrome at work). ED's is definitely the German flag and mine is the Union flag for UK. What browser are you using, maybe that's the problem?

Deutschland for you.

I suppose it is something that must be inserted server-side, else everyone could have been able to see IPs of everyone, so seems strange to me that the issue is on the browser...

Maybe people are just using VPNs or proxies

Nothing for you.

For me it changes all the time. I opened this thread a minute ago and everyone was French. Now everyone is German.

US for you, atm.

Currently @Exophase is from Panama and @Wally is from Italy. Congrats on your new locations.

No clue for you. White, green, and red horizontal stripes.

I have seen a few change, and I know that some are incorrect. The funny part to me is when someone lists their country but the flag is from another continent.
[doublepost=1473286466,1473286383][/doublepost]Everytime I see @levi his flag changes. First US, forgot the second, currently Italy.

This flag thing is really weird:

Both myself and iprice are on UK-based IP addresses. For me I always see the union flag under my name, but iprice's varies for me.

all hail our new country of residence!

(though it does change quite frequently, so we're going to have to learn a lot of other anthems...)

Might as well do it the American way and not even bother learning one.

@EvilDragon Are you just going to leave this enabled? It's not working.

 

[Binky]

Wait, now everyone's British?
Its an interesting bug, I'll give it that.

The plugin probably has become sentient and is currently discovering the paradoxical nature of nation states

Actually, I've just noticed that it says I joined on 28th of May, 2003. Looking back through my emails, the registration/confirmation email I got was dated 8th of August 2011.

Where did that date in 2003 come from?

Were you registered on the GP2X site? because it was merged a while ago and if you had an account on there it used your earliest join date.

I don't think so. I certainly don't have any memory of being on there, nor any email record of it (though mailbox migration has a tendency to corrupt things).
I joined because of the pandora's potential for general-purpose computing - and it only really started development in 2008 or so.

Maybe you got merged with another user who also used to be named Binky? Because I see 12 year old posts.

to the international (wo)men of mystery:
hey, this sounds like a lot of fun! too bad i can't see these strange random-flags here as i don't use javascript.
maybe it's an art-performance telling us that physical locations and nationalism is of no importance when we're all conntected to this global brain called pyranet?

 

[levi]

The feature seems to have been disabled after this thread popped up. I don't think javascript has anything to do with it, fwiw.
