Please tell me if I'm imagining this, but is there a email icon next to the globe icon in the sidebar for me? If so, how do I turn it off? I thought it would be part of the forum profile, along with the URL for list of links, but nope. I must be blind.
Here is a screenshot...

I think this used to be an option you could turn on or off, but I'm guessing it was removed in one of the latest bot attacks. I don't think it's visible to anyone but yourself and possibly the mods. For what it's worth, I can't see it.
I can't see it either, so nobody will be sending you emails.
Try emailing yourself a chain letter.

GOOD! I wasn't seeing it on anyone elses profile, and just wanted to make sure. When I hovered over it, it had a full mailto: link which makes it good food for the SPAM harvesters.

Even when it was an option, I believe the mailto: link was only available for registered users. So you wouldn't have gotten constant spam.

So long as no registered AAroads users felt like spamming emails...

I had mine turned on for years and never received one email.

Me too. Also, I used to have my direct Facebook page linked here. I never got messages or any traffic from that either.
