    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.

    Anyone here manage to circumvent this tosspotry?

    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.

    00000 always works for me when a postcode is needed.

    But that IS Sligo's post code...

    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    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.

    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

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

    Once accepted chance details in profile
