One of the listed benefits of Premium membership is "An email encoding utility for Spambot prevention," but I can't find a description. Can anyone tell me what this is?

Hi Billbo,

This utility is used for your web pages..The email encoder converts your e-mail address into characters that will not be readable by e-mail extractors or search engines..Therefore preventing spam.

From our utility page...

Quote:

"This form will allow you to encode your e-mail address through the use of Character Entities, transforming your ascii email address into its equivalent decimal entity. Simply enter your regular e-mail address in the first text box, click the encode button, and then highlight and copy the resulting code produced in the second text box. This encoded e-mail address can be read and translated back into its original ascii text by almost any web browser without any further action on your part. Just replace all instances of your e-mail address on your pages with the code, and you won't have to worry about spam lists.
For example:

On the visible web page:

"For more information, send email to yourname@domain.com."



In the source code of your web page your email address will show as %'s and numbers.

Thank you. Is the Utility Page viewable by non-premium members? Or must one become a premium member to learn these things? (I am signing up now, so I guess I will find out.)

if it is listed as the benefit for Premium users only, then those said benefits are not visible or available to regular, non premium, users
