Weird

TheCatWoman

I've just done a post and then click back to the list of threads and a page came up asking me if I were human and to tick a box if I am. Doe's AI not know hwo to do this?

Just before this I was on another site looking at cars and was told my post code dosent' exist and because of that I was unable to use the site, how can a site randomly decide a post code dosen't exist, it's never done it before.

Then I was being nosy and trying to find out how much a lovely house down the road is being sold for and my whole village seems not to exist, everywhere else on Anglesey does?

Why does all this stuff happen on a saturday, it's like the internet packs up for the weekend?

    there are 3 reasons I can think of for this.

    1 - There was a bug and the web page could not access the Postal Address File (PAF) to find your postcode (or perhaps you missed out the space, thereby confusing it).

    2 - The company have a limited PAF that does not include the extremities of the country where you live. i,e, they bought the cheap version.

    3 - The company deliberately excludes postcodes where it is problematic to access (islands, highlands of Scotland etc).

    This is based on experience of supporting companies who use PAFs for address lookups.
