Flickr sign-up

Trying to open a Flickr account and the blasted registration page keeps demanding a postcode and won't accept D8 or any permutation of what passes for a postcode in ireland. How have other people gotten around this?

I really hate when sites demand a postcode for people in Ireland. Try 00000.

Thanks but no luck with that. I hate it as well, that arrogance that assumes everyone on earth has a zip code

If you open a yahoo email account first then open a flickr account using that account it should work.

You'll have to change country to UK but can still register a yahoo.ie email addy and use a uk postcode. NN4 9YA will do.:rolleyes: (1 Sarek park has 1000's living there)

Once set up change it in your profile.

Yahoo will not accept Irish postcodes/addresses at set up

Sorry forgot I had the same hassle
if you go in to yahoo mail Ireland and sign up and where it says I live in put fiji,That way you can still have a .ie address and they don't ask for a postcode.
As fiji dont use postcodes.

"None" works too.

Using English postcode worked. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.

Me too or "NA" works on a lot of sites too.

I believe there have been some changes lately to the way Yahoo let you register. Previously you could choose Ireland as your country and then temporarily choose another country and put in a valid postcode from there before switching back to Ireland (and keeping the .ie address).

One of my students told me recently that putting in a hyphen (-) in the Irish Postcode field worked, whereas no combination of n/a, na, N/A or NA worked,

I had this same problem trying to set one up for my wife. Got on to Flickr about it. Use either a "-" or a "." instead of the postcode. That will work.
