Hiding e-mail address
I'm worried that bots will harvest the e-mail addresses of my users. Is there any way to keep them from being displayed when you look at the memberlist and profiles?
I'm using a fresh installation of Wacintaki 1.2.5.

Re: Hiding e-mail address
Robots cannot see any member e-mails because you have to login with a valid password. No password, no e-mails.
The only exceptions to this rule are the admin e-mails. These e-mails are masked with the HTML entity & #149; (or ·). Deleting admin e-mails altogether isn't a good idea, as it can prevent people from contacting admins with valid issues.
This is very effective, I've found, but if you still want to remove e-mails completely, you can change this by opening up memberlist.php in a text editor. Look for this code (do a search for "#149"):
Code:
if (!empty ($OekakiU)) { ?>
<td><a href="mailto:<?=$row['email']?>"><?=$row['email']?></a></td>
<? } else { ?>
<td><?= str_replace ('@', ' & #149; ', $row['email']); ?></td>
<? } ?>... and change it to this:
Code:
if (!empty ($OekakiU)) { ?>
<td><a href="mailto:<?=$row['email']?>"><?=$row['email']?></a></td>
<? } else { ?>
<td>(Please Login)</td>
<? } ?>Offline
