-1 lean Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 I believe that's something the browser does. You may have the settings in the browser set up to remember the user name for the site (sometimes they offer this and one okays it without realising). The browser in my phone now suggests the user name if I try to connect from there. On my laptop, I usually open this website on an incognito window so there's not traces if others use it.

I always use ingognito so I thought it should never happen. Now it happens in incognito. Don't like if someone used my computer, went to this site and would know which posts were mine. I think it might be related to a recent Chrome update. Sessions with your psychiatrist should be private. BTW: There is a microsoft log which keeps a record of all site visits including ingognito. Fairly easy to use commands to get to it. You can google it. Edited July 20, 2021 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one uses a work laptop, the employer can check the sites visited via the incognito function. :-( But the good thing at least is that if somebody uses your (personal or work) laptop at least those sites or user ids don't come up.

-1 Vinnig Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 When I log in here using the latest version of Firefox on my Mac desktop (Catalina OS), I always uncheck "Remember Me" in the login window. Don't know if I'm answering your question, but I'm giving it the old college try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, finally cleared all that and everything fine. Don't really know what happened. I checked "remember me" and the problem did not return. I have no idea what the problem might have been!

-1 JTT Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Sounds like maybe the cache was stuck on your computer, showing you an old version of the page (when you were logged in). Vinnig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I didn't like that anyone who goes to measure on my computer would know immediately the name under which I was posting!

-1 Guest Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Ha ha! Found out your url history and be searched in Windows 10 and if all the ones of concern are deleted, the problem disappears. Used that method in regard to a different site. Seems forgetting "incognito" just once causes this problem to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
