Now protecting all the email addresses.

As  some of you know, it is possible to actually have your email address on your templates, (the flag <m;ail%>), but unfortunately this was been abused by some unscrupulous bots that go around harvesting those email addresses.
It was also a problem for the profile page, (mine for example would should you my email address).
But now I have added a protection for all email addresses, I am using a captcha from http://www.captcha.net/.

As JournalHome is getting busier and busier, (slowly but surely), I am having to spend a lot of my time dealing with various abuses like email harvesting. I think no one will really mind this small change as it should mean a lot less spam. And also, for the life of me I cannot see why anyone would want to leave their email addresses unprotected.

So now in your email links, (on your templates), simply put a normal link and I will replace it with something a lot stronger.

Thanks

I will now make my profile public again. It's not all the protection I wanted, but it's enough for me.
