I'm having a problem when a user deletes their account, their email address is exposed (even if previously hidden) at the bottom of each of their posts, under the "email user" button.  What can be done to fix this bug?

At the bottom of the first post, there is an "email user" box that shows that deleted user's email address if you hover, or click on it.

I see...

This to me doesn't look like a bug. If you've deleted that user fair enough. Usually when you delete a user you'd delete their threads too. If you've chosen to keep those threads then I'd say surely that user still has the right to be contacted about his/her thread or work.

Maybe Justin could make this an option in settings in admin panel for a later release but I'm not sure he will as when you delete a user you remove their rights to post on your forum, you can't though, remove their rights to the content they posted.

The option to private message that user disappears and their details such as post count changes to "guest user".

The only time you wouldn't want the user to be contactable is if it was spam posted, but then you'd be deleting their thread anyway..

The user "deleted" their own account, not an admin.  Before the account was deleted, the email address was hidden, once the account was deleted, the email then became exposed.  The user did not want to be contacted about her content, thus, she hid her email account.

I'm not the admin.  The admin claims there's nothing she can do about it, and that she can't even see the closed accounts on her side at all.  Is there a function to delete all of a person's posts?  The admin told me she would have to go in and delete them one post at a time.  Since some users had thousands of posts, she is not willing to do that.

I'll look into this but you should contact the Administrator to enable: Disable members from deleting their username in Main Preferences.

I modified it a tiny bit.  This way blocks the unregistered users e-mail address from everyone except Administrators.  The other one just blocks the e-mail from all guests (regardless if the user was a registered member or not).


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.
