E-mail address'
« on: February 13, 2010, 07:15:46 AM »
Just thought I'd let everyone know that your e-mail address is exposed in the member list / profile information by default on this forum, so if you don't want people to see your e-mail address, make sure you update your profile and hide it!

The email adress is not visible from 'outside'. 'Spam search bots' can not see and abuse it.

You can configure your profile settings and decide if other registered forum users can see your email address and send messages to you or not.

I'll add that if you checked 'Hide email address from public?' inside of the profile options, the email address remains visible for yourself and all forum administrators.

So you will have an email link next to your name inside of the members list, but others will not see that email link or contact information.
