Email on members profile

Forum URL: theshow420.proboards.com/

I am the admin of my page. When I view a members profile such as this theshow420.proboards.com/user/82

I can clearly see the members email address. Some other members can but some can not. I am assuming this might have to do with permissions as to who can view this and that. If there is one that does it for emails then I did not realize it existed. So my question is how to I make it so where all members can see teams emails when they look at a members profile or should they already be able to see it?

Thank you

Hello jonboycubs,

Privacy settings can only be set by the individual members. Admins cannot do this for the member. The reason members see some members' email addresses and not others is because of how those members have their display email setting.

You can ask your members to display their email addresses by going to their profile > edit profile > privacy tab > email visibility.

I really don't understand why email addresses should be visible. It would be far better to have to opt into making your email address visible as the default.
I realise they are only visible to logged in members, but how easy is it to sign up to have access to a huge amount of email addresses? Not just random email addresses, but the emails of a collection of people that have one common interest?
I's a marketer's dream.

I just created a new account to check, and by default, it should not be visible to all, but to only friends and staff. Friends are those that you are both following, and they are following you. All other members, and guests, will not see the email address.

Thanks for that! Good to know
