Have done this myself too. Seems that without being able to update the postcode it's showing me as 300 miles away from other people in Dublin. Not exactly a major issue but would be nice to get that fixed on my profile. Did you have any luck solving it? |

Unfortunately didn't seem to have any impact. I managed to change my profile information.
When I moved to the UK I had no issue so I'm guessing that the postcode is still populated somewhere in the underlying data for my profile but the box won't appear when I'm in Ireland |

I don't think it's as simple as that!
I live in NW UK. I have my UK Postcode entered in my profile. If I check the profile of a friend who lives near me, who also have their postcode entered, it tells me we are within 10 miles of each other. Correct so far.
If I change my Country to Ireland and my Region to Dublin, log out & in again, it still tells me that I'm within 10 miles of my friend. So, as far as I can tell it is still using my UK Postcode to calculate the distance. With my Country set to Ireland, the Postcode field is hidden, so I can't remove it. With my Country set to UK, I can't save an empty Postcode, so I can't remove it.
Other feature's like Meets & Events and Local Updates seem to work OK.
... Amusingly, having tried that experiment, I'm now stuck with Dublin as my Region, since I can't clear the Region field with Country as Ireland, and the field disappears when I change Country back to UK!  |

Thanks for the help but doesn't seem to be a way for us to work around it ourselves here.
Just going to have to set it to whatever postcode Newry is - at least it will drop the distance down a bit |
