Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

buying something on net at the billing part wants a zip code. when i put in n/a and IE it still comes back error not a valid postcode/ZIP. Cant leave blank either. I even think the item is being shipped from Dublin so wtf they want a code that doesnt exist for. Any ideas? Want to sort this right now if possible

The usual thing to do that is recognised from the USA, Canada etc. is to fill the post code field with 99999. That lets them know you've seen the field for where the post code should be, but that you live in a country that doesn't use them.

Its not that hard mate you just put in 4 numbers at random. The post is hardley going to send it to the States or whereever just because it has a postcode tagged on the end if the rest of the address is clearly in Ireland somewhere!!

If it doesn't accept N/A or phone prefix (01, for example) I usually put the county in the postcode field, works for me!

I didn't bother reading any of the previous posts(or even most of the first post) so I'll suggest n/a or 0000.

If you're still wondering about this: You use BT11AA for the postcode as that code will bring your post to Northern Ireland. Your post will then be re-directed to where-ever address in the Republic you have listed along with the postcode.
