E-Blah Community  /  Question and Answer  /  Member list page
Posted by: redeemedsheep, June 30, 2009, 5:23am
One of our forum members found a page via Google with a list of all our members and their email addresses by Googling her own email. It's a page I have never seen before!

How do I access it via admin?

Is there anyway to block it from the world at large? We have hidden/private forums and through this page, anyone can discover that we do.

Here is the end of the url coding: forum/Blah.pl?v-members/a-let/

Thats the Member list page. I have mine disabled so no one can see the email listings.

Main Preferences -> Member Preferences .  Look for "Hide e-mail addresses for the following" and change it.

Thank you!!!  ;D

Okay, I did that, but I can still Google my email and have it show up, even though I reset my browser (emptied cache, deleted cookies, etc). I also tested it using another Swappies' email and I can find that page. Will it just take time for them to disappear from searches? I admit, I don't know all the ins and outs of things like this.

I checked things on a different computer and the emails are not longer able to be accessed, however, you can still see the member groups and who is in the member group. It's only a big deal for those forums that are unseen by anyone except for those there. The forums are for sensitive issues that need to be strictly confidential, thus my concern...
