Not sure if this one counts as a bug, but anyway:

The email address that is entered in the email configuration is displayed in faq.asp (lines 168-171):

		"                       <i>This Example:</i><br />" & vbNewLine & _
		"                       <b>" & strSender & "</b><br />" & vbNewLine & _
		"                       <i>Outputs this:</i><br />" & vbNewLine & _
		"                       <span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""mailto:" & strSender & """>" & strSender & "</a></span></p>" & vbNewLine & _

I changed in my forum mainly because of Spam Bots to:

		"                       <i>This Example:</i><br />" & vbNewLine & _
		"                       <b>your.email@yourserver.com</b><br />" & vbNewLine & _
		"                       <i>Outputs this:</i><br />" & vbNewLine & _
		"                       <span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""mailto:your.email@yourserver.com"">" & strSender & "</a></span></p>" & vbNewLine & _

I thought this might be changed in the standard release (like the secure handling of all other (members') email addresses)

My MODs:
Birthdays - Custom Policy - F.A.Q. Administration - Forum Rules - Guestbook
Links Manager - MyOwnGoogle - Profile Views - Search Log - WebSearch

Useful stuff:

You seem to have forgotten one instance of strSender that ought to be changed. There are to more lines in faq.asp that contain/show the strSender: lines 190 and 192.

I don't see this as a bug, and really don't want to change it. This is basically the only way to see the Admin's e-mail address when needing to e-mail them if their site happens to be in violation of the Licensing Agreement (and for many others reasons as well).

Yeah, I've forgotten to post these lines...

Thanks, Roland.

Good point, Richard.
Anyway, it was mainly a suggestion; I'll keep it edited in my forums, if you don't mind

I've edited those links on faq.asp, and the links on policy.asp. If people need to contact me for any reason, and can't (or won't) use the forums' email functionalities, then they should use my contact form. I've made the necessary textual changes to faq.asp and policy.asp to make this clear.
