    I'm not sure what this is about. I was giving some rep and accidently hit the down cursor key and this showed up:

    Not coming from the forum... that's coming from your browser. Maybe some sort of spyware/adware?

    See if it does it with a different browser.

    Firefox does that sometimes.

    It seems to remember form entries from another site when you write in another form (on different URL's) at a later date.

    It's weird.

    Thanks for that BTW.

    Edit:

    Actually I looked at that again, and it dooesn't look like that firefox thingy.

    You use Opera too, don't you, Fryman?

    Just seems to be a glitch in Opera. I've got so many security and anti-scumware apps running, I'd be surprised if it was any of those although I have just scanned with the usual battery of them to be sure and they all came up clean.

    That's something from Opera autofill...I can repeat your issue. Not a big deal. Don't hit down arrow. :)

    It's the browser. I can do the same thing with Firefox. I use it all the time.

    Yes, I agree it's the browser. What is/was odd is that the info isn't anything I've used in rep. Usually, such as in FF, the info is stored and you can use it later, like you do, Nintendo.

    When I Googled the sentence, it turned out to be from an article on eZinearticles. wtf!?

    I think it's only supposed to save stuff you type, like usernames and passwords, and form info...!!!!

    I think it is from this thread of yours
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=4989

    Yeah it is just the autofill isn't it? Sometimes when I type in rep weird stuff pops up like "asian school girls" "stop sending me nude photos rob" and stuff like that.
