This question never goes away and I get the occasional irate email demanding to know why the email is visible to the world (which it isn't!).
So I've replaced the little envelope icon with a transparent pixel, just in case you're wondering where it's disappeared to.

Hi owenlana
Don't worry - it isn't showing. If the email was from someone on here, she probably sent you a pm - we can do that but we don't see the address it's going to.

P.S. To send a pm, click on the name of the person to bring up their profile, scroll down and you'll see "Send this person a personal message".

hi Charlie
I have the same probs with trying to hide email address - I have emailed "webmaster " twice but got no repliy so it was very reassuring to see others with same problem.
I am going to see if the wee box thing is missing beside my name - I bloody hope so

It might be that when you check your own profile, it shows your email addy, but doesn't display it to other users.

That's right Nillers. This is the advice from page one of this thread

 REPLY BY WEBMASTER - 13 Oct 2008:
On sign-up, your email is now hidden by default. Only you and the admin can see your own email. A small envelope icon will be visible to you but NOT to anyone else.
As a security update, since 11 Oct 2008 when all email addresses were hidden forum-wide, you will only be able to see other emails if the user has specifically gone into their account and unchecked the 'hide email' box.

Of course since this was posted Emma has removed the small envelope as she says in her post a little while ago.
