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.

Eircode puzzle

kig · 2018-11-06 17:41:21

I have just complained to An Post about a undelivered package which didn't have our house number, but had everything else correctly addressed including the eircode. Their reply was that they do not use eircode for deliveries. What is the point of eircode if our postal system doesn't use eircode?

I Call An Post, long story short; they don’t use eircode.
Unbelievably

They use it at the sorting stage where they have automated address scanners and computers and things but the local postman just uses the address.

I use it daily with Google maps in my line of work.

Only think I find annoying is you can input an Eircode to Google maps and it finds you the house, but if you need to find an Eircode when your at a house you cannot pull it off Google maps. You need to open the Eircode website and use your location in the browser to get the code.

It it just me or am doing something wrong in Google maps.

By design, you're meant to pay them a huge fee per anum. Eircode rather than being a public service was made to be a revenue generating quango.
