email addresses appear in member searches when email visibility is off

[spyordie007]

When you search for members on the private messages page you can pick up their email addresses regardless of whether they have turned on/off email visibility in their profile.

How? When I search for myself I don't see my email address.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

yeah, I'm not seeing this one.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Neither am I.

On a related note: when you do a search for user names by clicking the A, B, C, etc...when you click Next 40 I get no results - just a blank page instead of the next 40 A, B, C, etc...

sorry I should have been more specific; not the regular search but the user search located on the private messages page:
http://forums.anandtech.com/viewprivatemessage.cfm

I'll update my post to reflect this.

Yes. If I search for myself there, my email address shows up even though I have it turned off in my profile.

Yes, same here. Not just for myself, but for others whose emails are supposedly turned off. Note also that if one is using the Dark theme, the username and email address are white text, which is on a white background (thus, they can not be seen unless selected).

I see what you guys mean. This isn't cool.

Thanks Jason.

BTW I dont know if this is by design or another bug but I've got subscriptions turned on w/ this thread and when the PM came to me about your post from forumnotifier it indicated that "forumnotifier" had made the post rather than "Jason Clark" (as it does when other users reply).
