Postcode is now optional. The only mandatory fields are: email password first name surname company name address 1 city country I think we still need address 1 : there is a tick-box afterall that means that the address won't be made public. Let me know when you get your first yacht Rob : I'll be hot desking on the hot deck most days. I agree - I’d thought it was a bit annoying earlier but hadn’t disabled it. Postcode is now optional.

I think we still need address 1 : there is a tick-box afterall that means that the address won’t be made public.

Let me know when you get your first yacht Rob : I’ll be hot desking on the hot deck most days.

I had a go just now. Tried to test the new functionality, but because it insists on a postcode, I couldn't be ambiguous enough with my input. I'm probably doing something stupid, but it did lead to a question for you... Should we insist on a postcode? In fact, does everyone even have a postcode? Or, should it be possible to simply place a desk using the map interface? i.e. pan and zoom to the location and drop the marker down? Could come in useful for those time when I take 2 desks down to the middle of Hyde Park and only use one of them! (This in turn lead to another - much sillier - thought; if I had a spare desk on a boat could I input a link to a GPS feed as its location?! Very useful for that niche luxury yacht / houseboat crowd!) Yo Dave. I had a go just now.
