zq29 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Personally, I'm not sure how this has happened, even as a moderator I can not see what your email address is. Although I guess the admins can, but see no reason why they would give your specific email address to anyone... I see this is your second post, did your first post happen to be in our freelancing forum?

ober Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Your email address is listed in your profile, and I don't think I'm the only one that can see the envelope under your postcount. That's probably how they were able to contact you. Unfortunately, I don't know of an option to hide that item, but I will look into it, you can be assured of that.If it makes you feel better, I got the same spam email. I am going to contact them immediately. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15672-not-a-happy-person/#findComment-63973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 i got that too. and another one, in fact:[quote]Hi there!I saw you on www.phpfreaks.com and you are invited to join the all new SMF Webmaster Forum.SMF Webmaster Forum, http://smfusers.com is an exclusive Internet Marketing & Search Engine Forum for Simple Machine Forum Webmasters.We are also looking for moderators. Enjoy your weekend!Regards,AnushaThe SMFusers Forum Team.http://smfusers.com/index.php[/quote]I wonder... perhaps this is part of some advertising deal that SMF has, where advertisers pay them to offer up who uses their script? Maybe someone from the SMF team if they are still hanging around, can perhaps offer an explaination or else tell me i'm crazy.
