Hello all! I'm a new vb user and I'm trying to figure out if there is a hack available to filter or censor email addresses from threads and PM's?
For example, myemailaddress@123.com

I'm looking to either replace the above address with all *, spaces, or some other constant.

Thank you!

Thank you.

I am aware of that. I was referring to ALL email addresses, not just specific ones. The above was just an example.

yes I had to use the censor. There isnt a wildcard censor in vb and good luck finding a user who will hack it for you.
I had to put in censors {@yahoo} but they simply change it again and again.
if you could have something like *@* that would be great or www.*.com
(as in wildcards)

Thank you.

Actually, I've been doing that one myself.

What I will probably do is simply write some code to check for this condition. I will be happy to share it with you all after I have tested it completly and put it into production.
