Possible bug or just a non-function. Email addresses: Case: A link is submitted and the email address is supplied and the notify-me-option is checked. Later the member goes to edit profile and changes the email address. Result: The members submitted links still have the old email address. If the member goes to each link and changes them too, the link email address changes OK but the email-notification-address is still the old address. They can’t do anything about it. In the worst case they end up with 3 different email addresses, one in profile, one in link info and one in link notify (SQL=yes, notifyemail@address.com, )
In some cases people notifications at different addresses for different sites, that being why anyone would give members the option of still typing an email on link submission. And if they submitted when not a member there's no reliable way to know which member they are, even if sometimes it'd be the same email.
