asking this in two discussions, not sure who to ask? |
|
Why does my name from DU appear at another chat site automatically when I right click into the sign in box. I found this by accident. A political site that I used to go to has gone down, and it happened before and we would all regroup at this open forum till the site came back up. The only place I use peacetrain is here. So I cleared my cache. Came in and made sure I was not signed in here.. Checked the other site, and right clicked, nothing came up.. So I came back in here, logged in , went and checked the other site, right clicked..and there was peacetrain.... How can that be??

1. it's likely your browser |

close all pages, clear your cache, and try it again. It'll likely no longer be there.

5. It's not exactly the most unique user name |

Nothing personal, but it's possible someone else thought of it too. After all, it is the title of a famous Cat Steven's song.

But what happened is I entered in this area, and just right clicked on a blank sign in area, that holds only one name, and peacetrain came up.. I have never used it there. In fact I only thought of peacetrain when I joined here back in April. That is what had me confused. :)
