  View original topic: @ sign in between e-mail addresses

What is up with the @ sign on people who do not use an alias but their e-mail address?
If you cut and paste an address into your e-mail browser the @ doesn't work and you have to manually re -insert it.
It used to work just fine, was there a reason for the change? or is it just me all screwed up! LOL!

maybe it's to make it harder to harvest the email addresses?

maybe... sounds kinda wierd though!

it is so email addresses don't get scanned and then spammed from the site. Just part of the script architechture of the site

cool, I just seem to remember when it wasn't that way... but if it's all about Everett protecting us from spam than that's a great thing! thanks Everett!

I did that a while ago to try and prevent people from spamming you.
