Why no hidden email?

On the other YABB forums I belong to, one has the option of hiding one's email - why not here? It seems odd that an Internet security forum would compel one to reveal one's email address. Angry Angry

You can simply go to the Profile page and change your e-mail address to something invalid. The list of members and associated e-mail addresses is only available to registered members so not every passer-by and search bot will be able to see your e-mail address. Still, I agree that maybe the e-mail addresses shouldn't be displayed at all, even to other members. I will see if I can do a custom code hack to hide the addresses.

You can now hide your e-mail address by going to your Profile page and selecting "Hide e-mail address from public".
