View Full Version : Email Obfuscation Hack
This hack encodes email addresses posted on your forums using the [email] bbcode, to prevent email harvesters from obtaining them. :)
Client browsers then decode the addresses using JavaScript. Most email harvesters do not have JavaScript capabilities.
Tested on 2.3.0 RC3 and 2.3.2

obfuscate - To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand
Basically, it encodes the email addresses so spam bots can't steal them ;)

Will this work for automatically parsed email strings as well?
New version released that allows you to use bbcode within tags.
