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.

6. That is true..and it's where I got the name in the first place :)

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. :)
