Best method for members not to freak out when they see their email showing on their profile?

Featured Replies

I know the "contact information" is just for the user and not public but I can guarantee I will have 100s of emails of freaked out members who will think that everybody can see their email.

is there and easy way to either

- have a note saying that this information is private for the boxes in the profile that ARE private

- have the left sides boxes that are private be a different color making it obvious it is private

maybe this was brought in earlier...

It doesn't seem to be private:

I would be surprised if that was the case because this would be a serious breach of privacy allowing bots to crawl emails of all members

Contact methods are available in your profile settings, if you leave them blank it won't display it.

I found a better solution which is to edit the Language file and add (Private) to the Contact Information box...works
