Hello, I'm Haro I'm new here and I tried looking everywhere on here to hide my email from the public and let others send me pms instead. Is there a glitch that won't allow you to take it off public view? Or it's mandatory? I don't feel safe with it public so if anyone can help me, it be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I'm not too good at computer stuff, I admit, but I don't see your email address anywhere. PMs can certainly be sent.

Welcome to the forum, btw.

Hi Harorudo,
I can't see your email address at all - and it's definitely possible to send PMs if you want to. 

Welcome  :heythere:

Oh ok thank you for letting me know I got real nervous. I appreciate you both helping me out. Well please take care today and remember to smile your awesome!  :cheer:

P.s. Thank you for the welcomes I'm glad to be here to meet you all. Oh I forgot for PMs I'd love to have that option if possible to PM I mean.

I suspect what you are seeing is beneath your member name, where you will see your IP address and for some reason an option to send an email and an option to start a PM, just above your IP address.

If you look at the posts of the other members, though, you will not see that information about them. Your information is visible only to you. We cannot see it.

Oh I see.. alright  thank you I wasn't sure how things worked here. I haven't been on a forum in a 2 years or even talked to others online as well. So I'm newish and rusty. Thank you for letting me know, I really appreciate it.

Hi Harorudo, welcome to the forum! :heythere:

Please don't worry about your e-mail address. It isn't visible for others. I know it looks like it is, but it isn't. Only you see it when you're logged in. I had the same fear when I joined. Thank you for bringing it up.

I hope you'll find connection and support here. This forum is awesome, I say from the bottom of my heart. It changed and is changing my life for the better, and it's not just me saying that.

Much love
