Emailaddresses as GD image
 

Hello all,

At my forum, onzinforum.nl (Dutch),
we would like to have all the emailaddresses shown as GD Images instead of plain text, to get rid of spam :)

is there someone who can help me ?

Hmm ... why not just disabling display of email-adresses at all?

We do not want to disable it, because the forummembers would like to see eachothers addresses, so they can email with eachother :)

They can email each other without having to display their eMail-Adresses :)

Yup, I know, but we do want to have the addresses visible, but as an image :)

Makes no sense. Or Manybe it makes sense but it's ....

Oh well...i guess what you want is something like the gmail images. There could be a way to make it that when it sees an email address it does a "replacement" of sorts and creates the image instead....

I will thell you this: it would be VERY CPU intensive on the server...picture this:

1 thread: 50 Posts: each with a email address.....

THEN...Multiply that by the number of threads in yur forum ....then pray your Hosting company doesn't shut down your site.

This is not true, because email addresses are not shown in the postbit, but in the public profile.

Even if you only display them in the profile, this would be a real CPU Hog ... and IMHO it's absolutely not worth it.
Use teh secure mail feature, if users want to directly mail each other they can exchange their adresses via eMail or PM.

omg :D

I really apreciate your info, but thats not the info I'm looking for.
I know it will be a CPU killer, but thats my problem :)

LOL....

What's NOFI?
