We’ve just had some confusion with a user seeing the “First Reply by Email” badge on our forum and concluded that he could reply to the emails he receives from the forum (though we still have it furbed off). When he tried he got an error message and subsequently raised the issue on the forum.

Maybe that badge should not be shown as long as reply by email is off?
