It happened to tommyrot, I think. Because a couple of weeks ago his email field was filled in with just his user name.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It did the same thing to me. Definitely looks like a Firefox thing.

Thinking about it some more, on the "Set profile" page, it looks like Firefox is automatically filling in the "Old Password" text box, and it is incorrectly assuming that the text box immediately above it must be for the username.

My post in Natter just disappeared! I had a post go in 1 second after current post 2645 (I think) and it was numbered 2646 of 2645, and when I went back into Natter, my post was gone. The quip wasn't that rip-roaring, but the gremlins shouldn't censor me.

The Email in Firefox probably has to do with the latest version of Firefox, because it doesn't happen on my work computer, where I am using Firefox 2.0.0.18, but it does happen on my new home computer where I just downloaded the most recent version of Firefox.

The Email in Firefox thing could be fixed by rearranging the input boxes in the "Set profile" page, or by putting the change password functionality on a separate page.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
It seems to be the same in Chrome. I have Chrome set to save passwords, which also saves the username. On my "set profile" page, the field for "Your new email address:" gets auto-filled with my username, and if I click the OK button on the page (the last occasion was when I changed my tag), my e-mail address gets overwritten.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, I changed the order. All you people with weirdo browsers tell me if it's still wonking for you, or what.
