Whenever one capable of answering this logs in I would like assistance with this thread, thanks.
If you're just going to be rude all the time I will start deleting your posts.
Show some humility. The fact is you have no clue what you're doing and you want our help. So ask it and listen to the answers instead of insulting people.
I believe you want a form mailer. You want a form they fill out with their name etc, and then click SUBMIT at the end and it mails to you without them ever seeing your email address? Then you cannot do this with just HTML. You must also have the mailer file on the server to deal with it. It's called cgi scripting (Common Gateway Interface). The most commonly used CGI for mail is Perl (not php) although there are probably php versions out there. People tend to use Perl because it is so elegant in that regard.
If you want to do this you will need to do some online learning on "how to create html mail forms with cgi". You *can* find online tutorials on how to set this up. Depending on your host they might even have one and they will also tell you if your hosting includes access to their perl mailer file (it will usually be called
mail.pl or mail.cgi. This is quite heavy stuff for a learner so just be warned.
If you just want your email address to show up, google for "html mailto link" and you just put that code into your template or into pageparts.php . The web browser does the rest, a player clicks it and their mail program opens automagically (and no we can't do it for you, it's a core edit).
I have intentionally spelled it out in a fair bit of detail and I will honestly tell you that I hope it scares you off. Not to be nasty, but it's not easy. It's a lot of learning for hardly any real benefit in LoGD. I suggest you get a free gmail email account, set it up to redirect to your normal email, and then just tell players to mail your gmail. They'll never see your real address that way.
Simplest solution: Turn on the setting in the Grotto to mail the admin when petitions are received. All players contact you with Petitions, and they all get mailed to you.
