Song Kick decided that I live somewhere wierd...

Edit Subject

Hiya

I set up an account in Song Kick and got it to link with Facebook and it set up my default location for me as Radstock,UK. No idea why or even where that is and then it took me a while (I am hungover I'll admit), to figure out how to change my location.

Intuitively I felt that this should be in my profile, but it wasn't.

Just thought I would mention it.

Hey Jules,

Thanks for flagging up that you found it hard to find how to change it - we'll take that feedback on board.

When you sign up via Facebook we automatically set your location by your IP address, it sounds like it might have been picking up the address of your provider rather than where you're actually located. That sometimes happens. If you let me know your IP address we can check for you? You should be able to find it under your network settings. Is Oxford what you would have expected it to be?

Emily.
