Hiding Email Address from Public View
« on: January 19, 2007, 02:55:01 pm »
was wondering if admins can hide their email address on the forum.  i wouldn't want my email address to be viewed by board members as some of them send messages directly on email.  i have checked the 'hide email' option but the email icon still keeps appearing in my posts, and clicking on it provides my email address.  Any suggestions how to hide it, please?

Another thing you can do is to create a free email account like at yahoo for example to put as your email address.  Then if someone needs to email you it will go there and not your personal email.

Thanks crasy.  this one seems to be faster than yahoo and hotmail.  perhaps becoz it's still not that crowded ..
