Use contact form instead of displaying email address. planned

I dislike simply displaying an email at the bottom of a page to contact for various reasons. Having a standard contact form would help me keep everything organized, and prevent not providing any useful information in a standard email.

We're going to allow a way for you specify a URL to send people to for help/support. That's first. Then we'll be looking at contact forms next.

    Good idea. That way you have a record of all the communication and interactions with the user in once place and not spread across UV, email, and whatever else.

    Whoops, just added a suggestion for this myself. I'd like to be able to specify the address to my web-based support ticket system.

    ... or add a way to provide your own link (oursite.com/contact-us/)

    This is almost a security issue, and definitely a privacy issue. At least let people know this email address will become public facing. As this was something I wasn't expecting.

    Looks like the email address is ASCII encoded, but that's not good enough. Many spam bots interpret this now. Please switch to a contact form or at least some harder-to-crack encoding.

    The option to hide the link entirely would be nice as well.

    Whoops, forgot to log in, sorry. That idea was from me.
