OK, is this a weird b.org thing or my computer thing? Suddenly every time I open a page here, the post I typed (and posted) last night in Natter shows up already typed in the box down here. WTF?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's your browser probably saving the last thing you typed in that field to save you retyping. Is there a javascript way to talk to the browser and tell it not to?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
meara, I'm seeing it too, only since last night and only on b.org. It's not the usual saved form field behavior, because it's always the same post, not the last one.
(Also, for me, it's a post from the discussion of horrible dog killings so disturbing on top of being weird browser behavior!)

Is it a post you posted, or backed out of? And what browser?

Posted, and Chrome/Mac

I too am using Chrome/Mac, and I haven't seen anything. I am blank on suggestions.

Yep, Chrome/Mac here. And keeps doing last night's post, rather than any of the ones I've typed today. Very weird.

Stand down the alarms. I just ran into the same thing on Facebook. Thinking it's a chrome thing going back to the latest update.

Oh even weirder--in FB it doesn't automatically fill out my post from last night...but if I click in the thing to post, it THEN fills (with b.org it's just auto-filled)

I assumed that was because Facebook doesn't generate a real textbox until you click into the status box thingie (because Facebook, as far as I can tell). I could be just guessing on that one, though.
