Using a postbox page

From the Map, click a postbox marker and open its full page. You can also reach a postbox from Search results or from Postboxes (by reign, form, or town). Each postbox has a unique page showing its location, reign, type, photos, and status.

The page shows the postbox name, reign (royal cypher), form and design variant, whether it's in service, location (with a map), town, county, grid reference if available, and any notes. You can view the photo gallery and a close-up map of the location.

If something is wrong or missing, use Suggest an update on the postbox page. You can propose changes to the reign, type, location, name, in-service status, and other fields. See Correction process for the full guide. Moderators review corrections; each approved correction earns you 5 contributor points.

If the postbox has no photo or you have another angle, use "Add photo" on the postbox page. Upload a clear image; moderators will review it. Adding the first approved photo to a postbox that had none earns you 5 bonus points.

When logged in, you can add a comment (e.g. to note something about the box or its history). Comments are visible to everyone. You can use comments to discuss the postbox with other contributors.

You can check in when you have visited the postbox (visit date and, on approved listings that are not yours, whether the reign and form matched what you saw). Use Check in on the postbox page; you earn 2 contributor points once per postbox (see Scoring & Ranks).

Approved listings are updated through Suggest an update (corrections), not the full editor. The separate edit screen is only for your own submission while it is pending moderation, your own rejected submission you are fixing, or if you are the site owner. Open it from My Submissions for those cases, not for editing someone else's approved listing.

You can share the page via social links. The page may show who submitted the listing and who contributed photos or corrections.
