I understand now, if the member is offline does not display the flag
Not correct. It's does not matter user are online or offline. It's does showing flags if members have IP address.

Well this isn't what I'm finding. On my test forum it is now only showing a flag for me. The other users are not online but they do have IP addresses logged but they are showing the question mark.

Then need ask @Snog about this issues because you are not forgotten the add-on name is Country Flags by IP Address, Not Country Flags by User Online ...

Just like the XF 1 version, the IP address for the user is obtained AFTER the add-on is installed. The flags for users will appear as they log into the site. Until they log in at least once, the ? flag will show for users.
The add-on does not use existing information for the IP Address.

The last steps of the add-on installation create files in the data folder for your site. It sounds like your data folder is not writable by the user PHP runs as. Make sure the the data folder can be written to by the user PHP runs as.
So far as removing a failed install, I don't know. I've never run across that problem. And I've never seen any info about that from XenForo themself.

OK, that's bad news. If I had Country flags on xf1, but uninstalled before upgrading to xf2 and installing Country Flags 2, is there a way to import the users' flags from the old xf1 database then?

Well, in hindsight you shouldn't have uninstalled it from XF1. That wiped all of the flag info out of the database.
There is no way to import the flags for users from another database.

Well, I know that now. I am a bit confused because from what I remember when I initially installed Country Flags on xf1, it picked up the countries for everyone, not just as they logged in. But of course it seems I am mistaken about that.

Post from XF 1 version...

I'll see about doing this in the next release.

Can't argue with that then. I think the odd thing is the question marks, I don't think the xf1 version did that.
It would also be good to maybe be able to have a custom image for the flag on users who have not logged in. The question mark just makes people wonder what it means.

If they hover their cursor over the flag it will tell them what it means

is there any difference with when/how/how frequently this version updates compared to the XF1 version?
we didnt have any issues with the XF1 version, but this version seems to be changing flags far more frequently, with more "incorrect" flags (though i know they are IP driven).
wondering if there is something i can do differently to improve this.
