Alright, so if you want to, go to www.ipchicken.com, get your current IP address, and post it here or PM it to me. I've made a little app that can use your IP address to find out your exact coordenates wherever in the world you are! So, if you want to be creeped out, feel free to donate your IP address to me :)

I was going to try it Darwin...but I cant PM you becaue apparently I have that feature turned "off" in my profile. Strangely though, I cant find any way to change my profile. I wasnt going to ask, but I looked and looked. If it is obvious, dont tell me where to find it, please. Instead, just tell me to keep looking. If it isnt obvious and you tell me to keep looking, I'll hunt you down in game and give you a negative rating..j/k


Thanks,

Champie :)

Um, right, I can read. No, really I can :-p

Well that's ok, I had it turned off too. But anyway, go to PMs at the bottom of the main page and click on it. At the top bar, navigate over to Options. Find "Allow others to send me PMS" and select yes. Press ok. Done.

Note: Comcast and probably other ISPs have it so that if someone like Darwin were to try to locate someone within the world based on their ISP, it would turn up as the point where the ISP actually connects to the internet. On Comcast, this would be somewhere in New England, I think New Jersey. I haven't done it in a while.

I appreciate the help Darwin, but I cant find anything like that. I'm not a noob to forums, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I cant find anything anywhere that would let me change my profile. When I select the profile button there is another link at the bottom titled "Admin Options" with a link called "User options" When I click that it says that I do not have persmission for this.

oh well..

and while I'm here looking stupid, I may as well ask...

In order to use the Knowledge Base I need a User ID.

What is the user ID..my game name doesnt seem to work.

And of course, any help is greatly appreciated and never expected. Thanks in advance.

New Jersey is not part of New England -- it's a coastal atlantic state ;) (Same goes for NY, by the way.)

If you click on Darwin's link, there is a comma attached to the end of it, so it won't work.

just type it in w/o the comma at the end and it will work.

You have a dynamic IP so I couldn't trace you exactly, BUT: you do have Adelphia as your ISP. You're near Coudersport, PA 16915, and the nearest node is located at the coordenates 39.583N, 79.917W
