Preserved Topic: Now this is weird

Ok, I was gonna celebrate my 500th post.....hurrah dies to a whisper.

Go to post new topic, enter usiual trivia, except that I clicked on the subject area exactly under the 'O' in Forget your password......stands back in amazement....get a drop down menu....try it again 7 or 8 times, only happens in the same place.....

....just me.......if so ~vp~ can take me off to east wing in a comfy jacket........


Oh and yaaaaaahhhhh 500th post.....only taken me 15 months to get there.......

Congrats, you supacool euro-trucker dude!!! What a great milestone to accompany your awesome new site, eh?

Dropdown menu? I tried, but it didn't work for me... beneath which O of 'fOrget yOur passwOrd?'

Still congrats!

the one under YOUR.....

Congrats Phil...

I've not been able to recreate that dropdown menu.

Did someone forget his pills today?

Congrats Phil. I seem to have missed my 500th

Congratulations Phil !

That was the special 500th post drop down Asylum Easter Egg. Your the first member to find it.

In all sincerity, the amount of thime it took you to reach 500, only goes to show the selective nature and wonderful content of your posts.

Here's to 500 more

Congrats Phil!

Yay!!! WTG Phill!

Drop down menu??? you sure it wasn't just the odd thing that IE does trying to assume what your going to be entering into a form? What was in the menu?

Congrats Phil!

You are talking about that drop down menu right under the 'O' in 'yOur' in 'Forget your password', right? I know what you mean. I've seen it before. Nothing to worry about. Or did it move?

*Hope Shi will come back soon and look after Phil*

It could've been that bottle of red I just HAD to finish....you know what it's like....uncork....tastes good....hey ho empty bottle.......

When I get back from work I'm gonna screen cap that mother 'n post it......or slip back into my jacket...heh.....

Congratulations Phil! So sorry about the hallucinations you've been experiencing, though. :/ I've looked into that dropdown thing, and realy, I don't think there is one of those built into that page. What did it say, messages from [beyond the grave]? I'd have to guess it was an MSIE specific thing, or perhaps a holdover from an old page, browser glitch maybe. (Make note to self: Add more easter eggs, successful mind-c*****n!)

Your pal, -doc-

~ mumbles hip hip huray for Phil ~

~Thinks it is an achievement to be here for 15 months..~

~Rinswind ~

...sob...sob...no one believes me....sob...sob......

.....so here's the screen cap for the unbelievers.......

Uhum...as I was saying......

...raises glass.....

That *is* weird. It looks like IE 5.5 is confusing the textbox with a drop down menu. It might have something to do with that password saving feature that IE does (would you like IE to remember this password for you?), maybe...

IE 5.0, nothing happens here.

uh-oh... spooky... *looks behind monitor*

Must try this at work tomorrow. I think, I have IE5.5 there.

Cheers!

Really no trick???

This isn't so weird. At least not what I see. I don't have to click directly under O in "your," though, just anywhere in the Subject field. (Twice if the focus isn't already in that field.)

It gives me a drop-down menu of the most recent topics I've entered in that field from posting other messages in the forum. It does this every place. Search engines for example; I go to Northern Light and click in the Search field and it gives me a drop-down of the most recent searches I've entered.

Or, if I begin typing in the field, a drop-down appears with any entries beginning with the letters I'm typing. This is an IE feature.

But, if the drop-down is coming up with things you never entered before, then that's weird.

That's exactly right Wes. I checked all the options, and they are topics I've posted either in Gurus or here......

So, it`s ok Phil. You`re not trippin, you`re st....

Well, nevermind..Important thing is, it`s ok.



If they had just killed Gilligan, they`d have been off the island in a week.

Phil,

After re-reading this post, I realized how serious you were about that drop down behavior. Here are excerpts from IE5.5 documentation regarding AutoComplete:


To enter Web information more easily

The AutoComplete feature saves previous entries you've made for Web addresses, forms, and passwords. Then, when you type information in one of these fields, AutoComplete suggests possible matches. These matches can include folder and program names you type in the Address bar, and search queries, stock quotes, or information for just about any other field you fill in on a Web page.

1. In the Address bar, a field on a Web page, or a box for a username or password, start typing the information. If you've typed a similar entry before, AutoComplete lists possible matches as you type.

2. If a suggestion in the list matches what you want to enter in that field, click the suggestion. If not, continue typing.

Notes

• The information used for suggested matches is stored on your computer and is encrypted to protect your privacy.
• Web sites cannot gain access to this information. They can receive only what you explicitly enter in forms.
• When typing information in Web forms, and typing passwords, you can remove an item from the list of suggestions by clicking the item and then pressing the DELETE key. To delete entries from the Address bar list, click Related Topics below.

To adjust AutoComplete settings

You can tailor the AutoComplete feature to save and suggest only the information you want. You can choose whether to use AutoComplete for Web addresses, forms, and passwords, or not use it all. And you can clear the history for any of these.

1. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
2. Click the Content tab.
3. Under Personal information, click AutoComplete.
4. Select the check boxes for the AutoComplete options you want to use.

Sheesh.....big brother is taping your every move....tkx for that Bugs....

Hm... interesting... Thanks Bugs. Yes, might be the 'auto-fill-out-form' option. I turned all of these options off.

So very, very sorry that I didn't believe you, Phil... But it seemed pretty funny.
