Please can we be able to add non uk postcodes. I live in Spain yet I have to add a UK postcode which is misleading to people.

This app is mainly for British and Irish. Only bit that works well overseas is Who Is Nearby.

As above, works perfect when travelling or indeed when at home. 👍

Tried searching in Ireland a while ago when there. Put in Galway postcode and says not a proper code and won't let me search. Was a pain.

"Please can we be able to add non uk postcodes. I live in Spain yet I have to add a UK postcode which is misleading to people. "

Different countries use different formats and methods for postcodes the UK format consists of two parts (outbound and inbound) the outbound identifies the target sorting district, the inbound narrows it down to around 20 properties. The Irish format uses something similar except that the inbound part uniquely identifies a property (even flats). European formats tend to be just numeric and I have no idea how they work.

Considering the different formats and systems it would be difficult to check if an Irish or European code was entered in a system designed for the UK (and remember it is only the outbound code that can be entered).

I would think this has a major bearing on why this site only accepts UK postcodes.

If it’s for Britain’s and Ireland, why does fabswingers have, France ,Spain, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia chats..

The issue with “who’s near”, although it works well, not everyone wants it switched on.
