Another PM / E-Mail question

[2nd Timothy]

OK, since the PM dealy is basically caput, I was wondering about the show e-mail setting in control panel.


If I enable that, will the spybots be able to retrieve my email address (like they do on a website) and increase the odds of me getting more SPAM, or is that a pretty safe option?

The setting for your email address "Hide email address from public?" is best to be checked. If not it is available for all the bots and spammers to pick up.

Hmm....I see now.

I notice some forums have the option of allowing members to email others, without really showing the actual address...almost like the forum itself handles all that behind the scene....I take it that feature does not exist on CU?

Never mind...thats pretty much the same thing as PM which is turned off......lol


Disregard!

well.. aint that just down right frustrating eh... cant win either way around....
the only way i can figure to speak to someone outside of the forum is if ya have a messenger and dont mind it being shown on the side thingy.. unless thats gone to?

I guess we'll just have to talk about everyone in public....

Just kidding folks!!!!

The messenger setup is still available. That is a separate system that CU has no control over. That should be fairly safe to post it in your profile.
