 * Hello!
 * I am using your plugin WP-members, Version 3.0.4, and I want to make it able 
   for users to register information about themselves in a dropdown field where 
   they can chose where they come from, i.e country. However users can not register
   because a message that says “You have to chose country as the field is obligatory”
   even though they have chosed a country already. And when the field is not obligatory
   it does not register the information that the user choses in the dropdown field,
   the only information I as admin get about the user is the text that is preselected
   in the dropdown list to the user.
 * This is how I put in my values in the dropdown field:
    Sweden, Norway, Denmark,
   France
 * I follow the description on this site: [http://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/users-guide/registration/choosing-fields/](http://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/users-guide/registration/choosing-fields/)
 * So I don’t think how I write my values is my problem.
    Would be grateful if somebody
   could help me.

 * Your values for the dropdown are not entered correctly.
 * The correct way to do it is:
    Displayed Value|stored_value,
 * Follow the example that is in the box for these values when you create a new 
   field (it’s also described in the link you referenced).
