Quote from: Rob DiStefano on June 10, 2025, 12:29:44 PMYou are using the default theme, Curve2.  So am I.  Here's what I see in my and your posts ...

... both of our posts are showing the email icon link.

If a real computer (desktop or laptop) is what you primarily use, change over to the Curve3 there.

What exactly is your computer?

Nobody's posts show the email icon for me except mine. Computer is a PC running windoze 10. I'm not particularly fussed about it, just figured I would mention that I also don't see the email icon. Maybe I will try Curve3 to see if it changes.

This is getting interesting.

In my testing with a simple laptop computer, both themes (Curve2 and Curve3) icons for PM and email links are clearly visible on everyone's posts.

With my Galaxy cellphone both icons can be seen with Curve3 but not Curve2.

Please change to Curve3 and report your results.

I have changed to Curve3 and get the same. The PM icon is there along with a round one that is labelled 'Cavalier Pickups', but no email icon.  :dunno:

Just to be sure I closed out TG and then reopened it with no change.

Try this Mike.

"The current theme that is the default for all members is the mobile Curve2.

The new non-mobile theme is Curve3.

To select the non-mobile Curve3 theme as your default viewing theme ...

(1) Go to your profile (your user name as found on the menu line or as listed in any post) click on it and then click on "Look and Layout"

(2) The first option you will see is "Current Theme", to the right of it click on the "CHANGE" button

(3) Scroll down to Curve3 and click on the "USE THIS THEME" button.

Now the non-responsive non-mobile Curve3 theme will be your default.

Don't like the Curve3 theme?  Go back to your profile and select the mobile Curve2 theme."

I tried a soft reset on my phone (s24) and also tried logging out and in.  There are 3 theme options offered as per the screenshot below.  I have tried all three and none show the email option on anyone's profile EXCEPT my own posts.  Apparently I can send an email to myself? 🤣

I just checked your profile and saw that you changed to Curve3 ... and you still can't see poster icons for PM and email while viewing on a cellphone?

Here's what I see from the herein quoted post.

Did you make the test with a cellphone or real computer (desktop, laptop)?

mmattockx & Longcruise ...

I'd like to login with either of your profiles in order to first-person get a handle on the problem.

Please PM or email me because to login with your profile will mean making a temporary password change that you'll need for logging back on.

Okay, the mystery of the missing email icon in member posts has been solved.

Seems like the SMF developers removed the internal switch that had allowed users to send emails to other forum users because in this new SMF 2.1.4 release, "The option was removed to prevent scripts from abusing it to send spam."  Only Admins will see the email link on all member posts.

I would have preferred they loaded the forum with the email icon link option as an "off" default and let members decide its value and use.
