Can you stop google showing @nospam@ profile email addresses

Post by igevans » Thu Jul 19, 2007 8:41 am

If you register on joomlacode with your name and email address, there is a public profile page which includes both of these items of information.  The email address has the @ changed to @nospam@.  You have to provide a valid email address for your profile, and I don't think you can opt out of the public profile page.

These pages are indexed by Google, so anyone who can read will see your email address on the search engine.  Any chance that the @nospam@ address be changed to "cliick to email?  Or is there is a way to opt-out of having a public profile?

At the current time, as far as I am aware, this is the way the software works...  So unfortunatly there seems to be little we can do about it at the moment.
