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?

    I used to have that problem very often when I moved into my flat thirteen years ago.  The flats were around thirty years old, but Argos wouldn't deliver they claimed my address didn't exist.  A couple of taxi firms refused to turn up because again, my post code didn't exist.  It's better now.

    The weird thing was is that I've used this site before and not had a problem and my post code has been accepted, the screen actually showed my post code all filled in correctly, but said there was a problem and that it was wrong and it wouldn't let me change it or reconfirm it. People often can't find our house because it's the first in our post code and sat nav's direct people to the end of the street. I think a lot of sat navs can't cope with us having a house name and no number, but lots of houses have that too and don't seem to have a problem.

    Does something as simple as ticking box fool Ai programs? Is it an instruction they can't understand?

    Why dosen't my village exist anymore, when all the estate agents have boards up?

    My theory would be that Internet sites are not perfect and sometimes go wrong for no apparent reason. I have nightmares at work with various sites where something doesn't work, then I know I have done exactly the same thing and it works. I usually think it is me but mostly it's the imperfect technology. Technology can be so frustrating.

    Regarding where I live Google maps thinks I live next door.
