I went in to profile and checked the box to hide my e-mail address but it is still showing. I tried it several times but it is still there. What am I missing?

You need 20 posts to change your profile.
FYI I can’t see your email
it is only you that see it…i can not
Thanks, but I don’t understand why there is a need to wait until 20 posts to change your profile? It is after all my profile. So if my e-mail was set to show(I am taking everyone’s comments as truth that my e-mail address isn’t showing) I would have to make 20 frivolous posts before I could change it?

I don’t understand your question. For the first 19 posts, you can edit certain parts of your profile. Other parts are not available at all, so no edition is possible anyway.
From the 20th post, you can add and edit more info. This is to reduce spammers, and unfortunately valid users get the unwanted consequences of this decision. It is, nevertheless, a balance between options and spammers. There is nothing we, common users, can do about it.
Antispam measure.
Welcome to the forum.
Your email address is only visible to you and the Moderators. That is the default setting.
The reason for the 20 posts to change other parts of your profile is an ant-spam measure which has already been mentioned.
Relax and have a Happy New Year.
