Justin

When I click on someone's name to send them an email, getemail.pl displays a white page with their email address displayed. Is this the way it is supposed to work??

Maybe I'm getting confused with another site, but it doesn't seem like this is how it worked before.

Just wondering.

I know it's for justin (from kelly?) but I'll jump in here for kicks...I think he changed it on purpose so site crawlers couldn't strip e-mail addresses off the page and use this site as a source of spammable addresses. I know my spam has decreased dramatically since I made every ocurrence of my e-mail address on my website a three part table (jared - @ - sharingds.org), so it may be a relatively common practice.

from kelly??

I understand that part, but I thought that it used to pop up a email form and you never saw the persons actual email address.

Maybe I'm remembering ebay or some other site. I'm finding that my memory is being flaky lately.

Ah...I was thinking it used to just be a mailto: link. Sorry.

Hey,

The page that comes up has a link on it. If you click on that link, you will have the same results as before. Like SN said, it is to stop crawlers.
