I will add that not all UK ISPs are able to issue Northern Ireland-specific dynamic addresses. RTÉ for example are aware of this in connection with streaming Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) sports events. Their copyright AGREEMENT means they can only make them available to users in the Island Of Ireland but since some UK ISPs can't allocate NI-only IP addresses, their customers may get blocked. So you could be getting IP addresses from your ISP's pool which are (inaccurately) being geo-located to places in Scotland, because your ISP is allocating addresses from a regional block listed for Glasgow., probably because that is where their connection to NI joins their "backbone". You may not know that the process of getting a geographical location from an IP address is not guaranteed to be accurate anyway. So-called geolocation systems attempt to map IP addresses to geographic locations using large computer databases loaded with region allocation data. Sounds like your website is linking to such a database to give a location e.g. "Glasgow". Like I say they are not guaranteed to be accurate. I know people in SW England who get geolocated to South Wales for the same reason. You can TRY a geo website like http://www.ip2location.com/ to see where it thinks you are. Is that better? thanks salmon you explained it a lot better , as i said i worked it out that i was being logged into my own site by the traffic feeds , to-night its Edinburgh to-morrow maybe SwindonI was editing that post when you replied... did you see this?

i have just put a NEW post into my blog and i had to go to the dashboard , main front page , misc page , 6 or 7 times fixing codes etc to get it right.

then i went to see who was on the site and i was tracked by the person from glasgow on every move i made , so it must be me ?
