Hiding overall Email Address?

[Beyonder]

I noticed there isn't a "Only Me" privacy setting for email displays is there a way for this be possible? Just a general question for those who will search for such a thing.

I'd imagine a user's email address needs to be visible to at least the staff in the event the admin or people with banning powers need to ban a user's global account.

Also true, but we should be able to view them via the admin panels.

Just to clarify, perhaps.  If you set it to 'Share with Staff only', then only staff on the forum will be able to see the email address.   Other people on the forum won't be able to see it.

You can edit the template and remove that part of the profile from showing to other members:

Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > User Profile > Summary

{if $[user.email]}

<tr>

<td class="headings">Email:</td>

<td>$[user.email]</td>

</tr>

{/if}





Replace with this:

{if $[user.email] && $[current_user.is_staff]}

<tr>

<td class="headings">Email:</td>

<td>$[user.email]</td>

</tr>

{/if}

The email section will then only show to staff members.  However, it is important to note that this will only affect the desktop version of the site.

Only desktop? That doesn't sound too bad! Thanks!

Only desktop, yes. Glad it helped
