email address from subscribed threads

When viewing a user profile on the forums only the users name is displayed, but when a thread is subscribed to the email that is sent to your email address contains the users personal email address/username for the forums.

Example:

This is a notification of a new post added to the forum you subscribed to:

Is this right?



Seems the user email address is exposed in email sent to subscribed threads. This could be useful, but users should have the option to display or hide their email address on this forum.

    I agree with you. The posted by field should show the name of the community member, not his/her email address. We will change this.
