Entering e-mail address

Family tree boxes for persons still alive show a white entry box "add e-mail" inside.

I will not do that for reasons of privacy! And also to avoid them being "spammed" by Geni... or receiving ads...

How can I get rid of that white entry box?

I tried to enter "no e-mail" but that did not help. Then I tried "no@e.mail" and the white box inside the box did disappear.

But now, instead, there is an annoying blue box "remind" ... and I cannot edit the tree box anymore ...

How can I respect the person's privacy and still being able to edit the tree box?

  The purpose of the box is to invite your family to Geni and you can not make it disappear except by adding a valid email address. Since you entered a fake email ( which is probably a violation of Geni's terms of service), you will get the remind button because no one can answer the email that Geni automatically sends. I would try and remove the fake email and then just ignore the box

  Thanks,
  but how can I then open Edit and remove it?
  It does not work when I click it...
  
  People do complain about being "spammed" (almost) from Geni when a valid e-mail address is entered...
  
  Kind regards

  Try the account settings for the profile. If you can't access that, then you will have to ask customer service to do it for you.

  There is an option i tree-view to hide the email-box there.
