No - it's monetization like Patreon or Paypal and Chris is against it.

Sean will have a word, or we'll kick him off.

And in a profile? The link in question is anyway not longer valid...
I don't like to publish here. Have a look to a recent published article.

He is a long time member and I think he simply forgot to remove that. Should I really post it here?

PM it to me, and I'll see how good or bad it is.

Done. Even I can't with current account because of rep? Laugh | :laugh:

It's probably my bad, but that makes no sense to me at all ... would you mind saying that again, please?

a.) Sending a PM: As far I remember it is, I can click somtehing like 'email' in the bottom of one of your messages.
b.) Now, I don't see this 'email widget' (most probably because of my rep?)
c.) I was member before a longer time. That time I send you PM and you answered on it. Therefore I know where to send Wink | ;)

That's because you have it disabled in your profile: go to "My Settings", "Forums and QA" and you'll see that "Allow private email replies to my messages" is unchecked so nobody can see "email" on your posts.
Mine is checked, so you should see it on every message I post.

"Allow private email replies to my messages": It is checked Confused | :confused:

Not really important, just curious: Am I on something like a 'black list' that I don't see the 'email' widget?

It's possible that's been changed: I just looked on my member page under "Privileges" and it looks like it's restricted to Protectors - it may be a GDPR thing to protect personal information like emails.

Ok. Then ignore my reply on the thread above.

I just got the cat to log in, and he's pretty low rep - he can't see the "email" link either, so it's not just you!

8-Jan-22 11:37

And the rep level is?

You'd have to ask the staff - the cat isn't talking ... Laugh | :laugh:

Ouch. That's not good - because it appears on his profile, it also gets included in every one of his articles.
And that looks a lot like monetization, even though I don't think it's deliberate.

Let's kick it upstairs: I'll email the member to Chris and let him explain.
