We have tried to make phpBB work for us but no joy.
We really need our users email addresses to be completely private. Many of our users want to be anonymous except for their forum user name.
If the board shows/shares/uses the user's name (forum handle) that is ok. The forums must NOT show/share/use the user email address. The only exception is that the admin can see and use the email address.
If the above means no user to user PM and no user to user email then that is OK.
![:!:]( "Exclamation")
Board level real user anonymity is important. ![:!:]( "Exclamation")
![:idea:]( "Idea")
If the above can not be configured perhaps there is a simple hack we could do. Like commenting out a few lines of code so the following doesn't display:
![Image]()
Is there anywhere else the user email shows up?![:?:]( "Question")
If the above seems possible might we non-tech types![:oops:]( "Embarrassed")
get some help/guidance on what/where to make the changes? TIA
