Dear all,

Be sure to check your profile privacy settings on this board!

By default you email address will be visible to all, including visitors who aren't even registered!

This could compromise your anonimity.

The.Pale.Emperor , can you change the default settings for new users?
Default should be that nobody can see email adress, birth date, etc.

Regards,
Anders

That's a very serious issue with the site, it could ruin someone's life if their e-mail fell into the wrong hands. George

Still it's better to be safe than sorry!

Thanks Anders. Unfortunately, with the limitations of the site, it appears that even i am unable to make everyone's profile private. So it's advised that all users modify their settings upon sign up to a strict setting.
