how do I set up the "Send me a private message" thingy without all and sundry seeing my e-mail address
Pete, no worries. In the 'Public Profile' window you will see a section entitled 'Contact Information'. Your email address will only show up to everyone if you tick the 'Show Email Address' checkbox. With this option unselected, all communication between forum members takes place via the EzBoard server, with personal email addresses hidden (which I think is what you're trying to achieve?)

Hope that's enough.
