When you first come to Captionfish, we try to best guess your location based on your IP address so we can present you with immediate results. Unfortunately, this isn’t always accurate. Sometimes the DHCP server that issues your IP address is in a different area, sometimes even a different state, and that causes Captionfish to display results for that area. Sometimes your IP address cannot be determined. In that case, we default to Seattle, WA, because that’s where we’re located. If you don’t like the location that Captionfish has determined you are in, you can change it by entering a more accurate location in the location box on the top of the main page.
