Yahoo Groups ...can't create ID because...

...we don't have postcodes in Ireland -Dublin aside. Tried using a dublin one and they aren't accepted. Tried using IE, EI, EIRE, IRELAND, IRE, NONE, N/A and lower case versions of all the same and get the same thing.

Tried using Yahoos less than useless Help section. Eventually found something resembling a "Contact Us" or "Customer Care" form which didn't seem to mind that 1. the customer e-mail address doesn't exist yet as I can't register it and 2. the mandatory postcode field was filled with something their own registration form says doesn't exist.

I eagerly await their response. :rolleyes:

Anyone here manage to circumvent this tosspotry?

I think I put in '123' or something.

No joy. Thanks all the same Noby.

Mmm, it was only a couple of weeks ago I signed up to one. I'll log into my account and see if I can see what I entered.

I'm in loads. Are you trying to sign up for a yahoo.ie address? Might help?

00000 always works for me when a postcode is needed.

Yes. selected content from Ireland. even tried allowing them send me information which I just know is settingmyself up for a ****-storm.

00000 doesn't work. Thought it did for a sec but all it did was transfer me to yahoo home page.

Started over, tried again, name etc.. still available. Wont let me create account because I've no postcode.

I write DUB 22 on any forms that require them. Haven't signed up to yahoo in years

Normally just type None and it seems to work a treat

write this one:

N22 5ay

trust me it will work ;)

But as jebus says thats what i always write.

thats funny only one other person has said write this and its what i always do.

Exact same thing happened as with 00000. **** 'em. *****.

thats a legitimate address. i just signed up to a group there now with it.

I think this could be a case of error between chair and keyboard ;)

I'm with you on this Lionel. I've had a fruitless few days trying to open a Yahoo / Flickr account.:mad:

Look for a yahoo.ie address, choose UK as your location and put in BT7 1EB as postcode.

Once accepted chance details in profile :)
