email showing as clear text in profile

Post by de » Thu Aug 18, 2005 11:14 am

Hi,
is it please possible to hide the email in the profile?
I take some effort to not put it anywhere in clear text to prevent more spam (and I do have much less on this account)... I would be glad to have it hidden.
Thanks in advance
Daniel

Ok, I just recognized that you have to be logged in to see them. I guess I can live with that.
(Though I would prefer to not show them directly as I am paranoid)

I agree with de. Could you please hide the email ?
May be we can have an option like in VBulletin to choose wath we like:

OK i have enabled the option for you to select to hide your email address.

It is accessible by going to
Profile -> Account Related Settings


I am still unfamiliar with SMF so i am not sure what other functionality exists

For other people who are not yet familiar with SMF,

Email can be hidden through the Profile Control Panel

          -> Profile -> Account Related Settings -> Hide Email Address from Public
