Email Obfuscation Hack · **Released**: 06-17-2003

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

Then it might help to put that as your hack description because as good as my english is - i have never heard that word before

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
