Product suggestion. In the profile, there's a Y/N question:
I've found (and like) that answering "Y" doesn't actually make my email address public. Instead, it enables a feature that allows forum members to send me email from the forum, without revealing my address. I think its a great feature, but think the question needs to be rephrased to "allow email messages from members", and a description that assures the user that their email address will not be revealed. It would be a great alternative to PM's for people who don't like to use them. However, the current description will keep people from using/enabling it.

If the email messenger is disabled in the admin area then the members email address would be displayed to other members. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Very good to know. Knowing that, I'll just modify the text myself to reflect the policies of my forum. However, it would be nice if that text was dynamic, based on the setting in the admin area. As always, thanks for the quick reply.

Well I learn something new here every day, didn't realize that myself about the email bits. (And since I cleaned out my browser and had to login here again manually, I also really like the new login screen. Nice, very nice.) ------------- BillD http://theamcpages.com http://theamcforum.com |
