Heads up, ladies and gentlemen.
There is a field in your profile for location, and another field for country. The "Country" field will automatically display a flag at the top of your posts, corresponding to the country you chose.
You MUST use the country where you now live and are posting from. The country you select should match your location (if you fill it in) and your time zone. "Country" does not refer to your country of birth or origin if you are currently living and working in a different country.
Why is this important? Because one of the clues we look at/for in trying to protect the site against spammers is mis-matches between location, country, and time zone. If you don't have this information entered correctly, you are creating a situation that could result in your being inadvertently banned from the site.
Please check your profiles. It's at the top left of your screen. Click on "User CP," then choose "Edit Profile."
