You may want to just double check in VSD under the links box that email option is being used and the name is in the email option. I have made mistakes before and it creates a empty link.

I had exactly this situation that Scott noticed happen to several of my email links when I upgraded to V7, but if you haven't upgraded then that's obviously not the cause.

Though I have never been able to pin this down, occasionally I have had people call me to say that my email link didn't work. Seeing as most people email me - I'm not sure why it didn't work for THOSE people as it worked for everyone else.

I have been tempted to have my email be visible (at this point it I just have 'email me' as the link), but don't bots scan that sort of thing and spam you? Not that I'm not getting plenty of spam already ...

I was advised by a close friend, computer programmer of some 30 years not to use any email links of any sort when i was getting tons of spam about two years ago

I now just have the email as text so it can be copied and pasted

My email now is about 5 % of what i used to get

I go a step farther and make them type them out lol. It's not as convenient to the end users unfortunately, but my spam box has loved the isolation for a while now lol. Most sites I do I use an image now with the information on it rather than a link of any kind. Bots can have fun trying to get that one :P
