Not your fault at all. Confusing UI.
- ecommercematt 19y agoI have seen confusion with this aspect of account configuration numerous times. Perhaps simply adding a note next to the email field indicating that the email address is only visible to the administrators would help solve this problem. edit: perhaps you could vote up and/or comment on rms' suggestion here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46100 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46100
- eru 19y agoYes. I even searched for a check box like: "Make my email visible to the public".
- dcurtis 19y agoAt this point, considering how many people have been confused by that form, it's PG's fault for not fixing it.
- eru 19y agoPerhaps it is for building social capital - accustome users to help each other. Just like in a related way - but with a different morale - SMS seems from one point of view an inferior user interface. But people use it anyway instead of calling. Anyway - I suspect he just has not come around to fixing it.
