You've got your email address visible on your postings here - I think! Go to your profile and toggle the email option off. That should help!
:P

I've checked your photo ads account and it says this

They currently have Anonymous Email mode OFF

So you need to make sure it's ON.

Post another ad and change the email settings to ANONYMOUS ON . YOU will always see it cos it's your address, and I can always see it cos I'm a Mod - then go ask someone else to go look at your ad!!
:P
In edit:

What is Anonymous Email Mode?
If you have anonymous email mode turned ON you will notice that on every ad you have placed your email address is NOT shown. Instead the only way for people to contact you is via our server. Moreover, the only people who can contact you via our server are people who are logged into the verified email system themselves. If you have anonymous email switched OFF then anyone will be able to clearly see your email address on every ad you have placed - the decision is yours.
When someone sends you an email via our server (if you have anonymous email mode switched ON) an email will be sent to you (with an optional single jpg picture attachment no larger than 50KB) as if it has come directly from the person sending it to you. This means that if you decide to reply to them then they will receive it directly from your email address, and NOT through our server again. This allows you the utmost in privacy until you decide you are ready to take any responses further.
Here are some advantages for switching anonymous email mode ON:-
* Privacy and anonymity. No one sees your email address until you decide to reply to them.
* No more spamming, viruses and unverified emails in your inbox as a result of placing your ad on here.
* If anyone sends you an abusive or spam email via our server to you, then you can safely and anonymously (to them) either ignore it or forward it onto our abuse section for us to take action on that user.
Here are some advantages for switching anonymous email mode OFF:-
* It's slightly more inconvenient for people to HAVE to log in to send you an email, so switching it OFF means that anyone can send you an email, verified or not. This may be something you'd prefer.
* With anonymous mode switched OFF the emails you receive are sent directly to you and not via our server. Some ISPs block emails coming from our server, or misidentify them as spam and place them into the junk folder where you may miss them! This can't happen if you have anonymous mode turned OFF.
At any time you can switch anonymous email mode ON or OFF in your user panel and it will instantly affect every ad you have in the system, and any subsequent ads you place

:P

jags hunny, if you are not all helped out for the night, could I ask a question related to this sweetie.
If you have the anonymous e-mail facility switched ON
:shock: Hang on, I just started typing this, and suddenly remembered that Jags had put a bloody great quote in one of her posts.
Perhaps it may be wise to read that before asking my question.. :uhoh:
Back soon

Just a thought. rolleyes

How about going to your profile in forums and deleting your MSN addy? confused

That was along the lines of my question Novice - (which has now been answered by RTFP) could they be getting the address from elsewhere.
I can see your address on your profile Krazy. Given that there are probably a large number of people viewing your advert, it would not be surprising if a few of them tracked down your profile and used the information there to add you to MSN.

Jags will, of course, go crazy now wondering what my question WOULD have been! :twisted:
