Hi

I have just installed my 3rd 68C system and was on 'auto-pilot' whilst doing it.

During the intsallation when it asked for country I entered UK instead of USA. When a user registers they now see a long list of UK counties when I really want the long list of US States !!

Do I need to re-install or is there an easy way of changing all the Uk settings to USA.

Many thanks

Mike

Your currency and everything is prolly set to UK now as well so it may be easiest to just upload the setup folder and its contents and reinstall. It will wipe out all your categories, packages and such but the alternative would be to sift through the table creation code and comment out sections so you dont lose some stuff, then you would have to look through admin and make sure what you wanted to keep was kept etc.

If you just started setting up the site its probably easiest to just rerun the setup.

This issue really hasn't came up a whole lot but it might be a good idea to include a way of switching regional settings from admin. Basically wipe the states, countries table and then reinsert and change the currency.

This would certainly be very useful for me (although in future Ill try and be a little more careful when installing!)
