As per here.
The ability, for example, to have a top category level, with a sub-category level below and then forums in each sub-category.
Thanks for listening!

Are you pulling my leg or do you seriously think outputting the e-mail address as a swf for the 1% or so who choose to have their e-mail address visible is a good idea?
If it's only 1% then the load shouldn't be an issue then? If you're suggesting that it's not worth coding something like this for such a small minority then I would probably agree that it's not really worthy.
I'm not suggesting it's a good idea. It's just an idea for discussion!
Personally, I think the current system of using a form-to-email is a good idea and helps to protect those that don't know better. It also protects against the smarter harvesters that might be able to perform OCR on images or even read Flash and embedded mailto links (I've seen some links that Google had indexed even though they were in a Flash object).

It may well be proved to be too costly CPU-wise, but if it's confined to member profile pages only then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Anyway, it was just an idea. Still, I wonder what the load would be like with a 'normal' amount of everyday traffic with perhaps a harvester or two onboard...

No, I haven't but common sense tells me that involving any kind of image processing for every pageview of viewtopic.php is a BAD idea.
I would certainly agree with that, but didn't the OP specify the mailto links in the member profiles and not the thread pages?

E-mail harvesters are collecting users' email addresses from the mailto links on the profile pages!
Perhaps add in some user-agent detection. Although some harvesters may try to mimick genuine browsers it might block some.

Flash is out of the question because then people will have to install the flash player.
If you believe Macromedia's statistics then the majority of people will have this plug-in already installed

I have read it. Is there a point in particular you think I'm missing out on?
BTW - You've just reminded me about an article I read earlier this evening...

I won't hold it against you though

Is it possible to have a top category level, with a sub-category level below and then forums in each sub-category?
Thanks

Have you measured the CPU load from generating iamges in this fashion?
Alternatively, import text into a Flash object dynamically. You then only need to store a single Flash object as everyone uses the same one. On the server-side just pass in the email address to be displayed.

Create them dynamically with a bit of PHP instead?
