most other message boards have a way to access a member list. on aceboard, it seems, only the admin can do that. i decided to link the memberlist on my forums homepage, but took it off once i realized it showed all members email addresses, including the ones who wanted to remain private. maybe aceboard could consider linking a  memberlist to the homepage (one that keeps emails off for those who so choose). That way members could at least see who joined, even before they make their first post. just a suggestion

if you are the admin, go to the admin panel and go to memberlist-copy the addy of it and post that...no emails show up

the emails addresses are only visible for the admins (and the mods also I think) if the "private"  is turned on in the profile.

not for me.. even if i look at the members list via the admin panel, I don't see the email addresses at all. just when I look at their profile

okay! TYVM! both of you!

that would explain why i got the heads-up about the emails not being private... from my only moderator

she and i (as admin and mod, respectively) can both see the ones that wanted to remain private. makes sense now. again, thanks a bunch! much appreciated. i will link it once again!
