SMF (Simple Machines Forum) exposes member email addresses by default. In order for a member to hide his email address he must opt out. This query will hide member email addresses by default. Users can choose to show email addresses by changing the setting in their Profile Control Panel.

As always, backup your database before making changes.

You may need to change the "smf_" table prefix to reflect the database prefix you are actually using.

This query is for SMF 1.1.4 but may work with previous versions. You will have to check that for yourself.

ALTER TABLE `smf_members` CHANGE `hideEmail` `hideEmail` TINYINT( 4 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1'
