 * Hi,
    after the update I noticed that the postal code field in billing&shipping
   does not have an asterisk anymore and thus is not a required field for the customer
   to fill out -is this the way it is supposed to be? How can I change it to make
   it a required field also?

 * It depends on the country selected.

 * So for Germany the postal code is not required? That does not make sense because
   in order to ship somethign to an address here you need the correct ostal code.
   How can I change this?
 * Thanks

 * There is no logic in core to disable postcode for germany. Must be something 
   else..

 * Hi,
    I have attached a screen shot. My site is not public yet and I have also
   not made any modification what so ever. I also asked my theme support but my 
   theme does not override any woocommerce templates at all. [https://www.dropbox.com/s/t31q4sg5bivtnan/screenshot.JPG?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/t31q4sg5bivtnan/screenshot.JPG?dl=0)

 * Hello,
    I saw you changed some files but unfortuantely I am very new to all this
   and don’t want to ruin the site by uploading anything wrong. Could you tell me
   if there will be an update for Woocommecre with this fix?
 * Thanks.

 * There is actually another issue on the checkout fields in IE. The posta code 
   field has a red border whih should only appl if you forget to fill out a field.
   And all fields get a red border once you actually type in something – they should
   only turn red when you click the order button and forget to fill out a required
   field! Could you please have a lok at this as well?
    Thank you.
