Email Obfuscation Hack

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

obfuscates - might want to us an easier word lol

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 ;)

You really should play more RPGs then ;) :P

Will this work for automatically parsed email strings as well?

It should :)

New version released that allows you to use bbcode within tags.

Good work. :)
