#3439 - Enhanced is_email_address function This is a spacer post for a website comment topic. The content this topic relates to: #3439 - Enhanced is_email_address function By Guest posted 7th Feb 2018, 4:18 PM Do not fill this field in. 2 problems with this... 1) We can't do it on the client-side, unless we now do address validation using AJAX 2) People might get annoyed when testing using junk addresses Also of note that during signup you have to double enter your e-mail already, which will pick most errors. I think together this makes the benefit of the feature marginal, more useful just for newsletter cleaning. 0 guests and 0 members have recently viewed this.
