So that in Registration, users don't see this field.
Is this possible?

Thanks! :)

Perhaps the OP is stating that the option "Let other members see your email address (or words to that effect)" is not being seen.

Hmmm. . . .

Needed information:
- What's your SMF version?, What MODs are installed? What Theme(s) are you using? Have you backed up your database?

Having an email address is an important part for a users account. It lets them get access back if they forget a password or lose it, and it helps to prevent them signing up multiple times. If you're worried about people having access to each others emails (or competition) then you can turn off visible emails in settings (second setting in "Security and Moderation" in admin, note you want it unchecked!).

I can't find anything to stop members emailing each other, but if you uncheck the box I mentioned before they won't see the other members email address unless it bounces or they reply to it.
