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.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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.

That worked for the e-mail, but now my username is overwriting my location.
Hmmm...it seems to have killed the Buffista map entirely -- not working in IE 7.0.6001.18000, Firefox 3.0.4, or Chrome 0.3.154.9

It didn't kill the map--I have no idea what did, since that code hasn't been changed since it was finalised months ago.
Dammit.
And I have no idea why it's overriding your location. I've always hated the form fill-in, and this is just making it worse.

The map is dead for me on IE as well.

Regarding the form fill-in, it can be disabled by adding autocomplete="off" to the form tag. [link]

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I was looking for a particular post in the closed Supernatural 1 thread, and couldn't find SPN 1 in Closed Threads, or the Film and TV Closed Threads. I had a bookmark in that thread and was able to locate the post I wanted, but now I'm wondering why it's not listed among the closed threads. Or, if it is listed, why am I not seeing it there?
