I have switched off the joomla email cloaking but that had no effect. I just want the emails to show.

The email cloaking is always applied. There is no option to disable it. Looks like the JS that reveals the email address doesn't exist on the page for some reason. Are you using caching or 3rd party JS caching/compression extension? If caching of any kind is enable try purging the cache.

I thought the same so excluded those pages from speed cache and still, the issue is there before posting this in forum.

On the dev site I have disabled all caching from third party. still have the problem. It is fine if I am logged in to the back but as soon as fully logged out the ... appears. This has been fine for years but seems to have surfaced around the time of the last update of cb.and joomla

Ensure CBs system plugin in Extensions > Plugins is public, published, and ordered to load first as it will try to clear page cache for CB pages for you. I guess worst case you could edit the email field and under Parameters > Layouts set the Profile Value Layout to

Your last suggestion worked well and the Regularlabs spam protector works with it so I have caching back on and all is good, thanks
