Make Hide My Email Address work in the forums

[criusmac]

Something has recently changed, and my email address is clearly visible, as are the email addresses of various other people. I'm not sure if this is just for me or something, but it kinda worries me since this email address is not a spam account or anything, and I really use it. @.@

that must be a bug in smf - the option is activated in the settings:

Allow users to hide their email from everyone except admins?

I checked my own settings before my post to make sure it was still hidden, and:

Hide email address from public?     checked.

There is a chance that I can see my own email address regardless, but I really don't know if that's how it works.

If nothing has changed server side, then maybe I just suddenly noticed I can see my email address, and had simply never noticed it before... It's possible since everything is.. Just seems odd. XD

@criusmac:
When I look at your profile, I see "email: hidden"...?

[criusmac]

When you look under my name in these forum posts, on the left hand side, do you see a mail item? This is what I mean. The mail item I see reveals my email address as a mailto: on the left hand side on this forum post.

My bad. When I log out the option is missing, so best I can assume is the mail icon shows up only because it's my mail icon.

Why this is confuses me - it seems weird to have me email myself, but I guess it doesn't matter much. I panic too much these days due to getting so much spam as it is. Alas, that's what happens when you have the same email address for a decade I guess.

better safe than sorry
