Click on the members name and you will see their post code details.
I saw a few of them!
Can you see mine? I checked my profile and the space for postcode is empty.

Checked yours and it can't be seen . But so many others can,take Rexi for example .It asks location and Rexi has put o wee joke in the reply obviously not wanting to say ,but just under her name is her post code .!!! I would never have known but I was alerted to it by a poster saying they had my number .
Thanks erin, I just changed mine to a rubbish one, meaningless.

I don't know .
Erin, I would have hoped we didn't have any weirdo's like that on this forum. You just never know, do you?
Hmmm...
I was under the impression that entering a Post/Zip Code was compulsory, so I've always had "dummy" data in there. I've just deleted it though, and that seems to be fine. I've also given a dummy DoB (right ballpark, but not exactly correct), but that shouldn't be seen anyway. My "Location" has always been a little joke that ties-in with my username and avatar.
I have to say this site isn't anything like as bad as some other social media sites, especially F*c*book. I'm constantly being pestered to complete my profile there, but I flatly refuse. I'll only enter the absolute bare minimum, and whenever possible will use false or dummy data. I am (but probably shouldn't be) frequently shocked by how much personal data people put on their F*c*book accounts: it's a wet dream for anyone into data mining and social engineering, like *ahem* Mr Zuckerberg...
My postcode box appears empty when I look at it. Would someone else (preferably not a stalker) check it for me please?
Thank you for posting about this i will alert Lori and see about either getting it changed or making people more aware of it
I was under the impression that entering a Post/Zip Code was compulsory...I thought that too. So many members have their post code visible and just like me they are unaware.

You may want to pm El Loro/Summer/ Moonie/Rexi to name just a few .

Your fine but still stuck on level 5
I think for now the best action is for everyone to go to edit profile and leave the postcode box blank or enter a false one

This: Level 5 of 20. It was infamous for (a) being the level at which the game started becoming difficult, and (b) being an in-joke aimed at the rival games programmer Eugene Evans. (BTW, you may recognize somone in there... )

Our postcodes are also visible on the old hoo.do site (the site before this one started).
They do not appear to be visible on the Social Strata help forum though.
