I looked everywhere, I think, for a setting to move the address section above the captcha code, but I couldn't find it. I think the blank entries that we can't modify at the top of the user settings have these data hard-coded and won't let me change them, but I haven't a clue.  ;)

Any way to put the captcha at the bottom, so when users type in the code, then complete the address information (which is below the code box), the page doesn't reload after selection the country (it's pulling in the state data when US is selected) is selected?

Also, though I run the risk of sounding a bit too nationalistic, is there any way to have the United States set as the default, or at the top of the list?

Lastly, if I create a custom login page, do I just change the login redirect to the new page?  I keep reading about the duplicate content SEO issues and it was suggested that I made a custom page, but I am not sure I understand how this removes duplicate content...any insight would be great!

...anyone?

I'd love to hear how to set US as the default country (since I'm working on a site for locals), but haven't heard about this for a long time. At one point it was thought that there was code that snooped on the IP address and at least guessed at the right region (country) for the user. I thought there might have been a simple fix, but it obviously never got into the source tree. Let me know if you find out anything more.
