A colleague sent me an email via the profile email link. When I wanted to reply, I noticed that the reply-to address was [email protected] instead of the user's email address.

This doesn't make much sense to me. In the past, it was possible to reply directly to the user. Is this another broken feature?

@Thomas May 20

Would you send me an email ([email protected]) just to see if the same happens?

I just sent you an email via your profile. Let us know the reply address, but don't post my full email address (if that shows) here, please (spam protection), just the domain.

It doesn't show your email address as I suspected it says Thomas T. Frost ([email protected]). What will happen next?

You could try to reply to that address and see what happens.

But I don't get why the reply no longer goes directly to the sender.

I replied saying:

"Why is it that this email address says [email protected] instead of the real Thomas email?"

Let's wait and see what follows (if anything...).

Nothing so far. Another broken feature. Let's see what support replies. Proz.com is becoming like a black hole.

If it worked before, why not just reverting what has been done that caused the issue, instead of those patches?
And most of all: Who makes such bad changes?

(Help) I need some emails
(Help) Not just any emails
(Help) You know I need some mails
(Help!)

When Proz was younger so much younger than today
They never cancelled anybody's mails in any way
But now these days are gone, my mails are down the drain
Now Proz have changed their mind and shut down all the mails

Mail me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate mails being found
Help me get my mails back on the ground
Won't you please, please mail me?

And now my mails have changed in oh so many ways
My correspondence seems to vanish in the maze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need your mails like never felt before

Mail me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate mails being found
Help me get my mails back on the ground
Won't you please, please mail me?

Tune? May 20

Does that go to any particular known tune? Or did you make that up entirely, Thomas?

Good job at song writing!
