I went to post a new topic and all manner of captions opened up in a drop down window. Not that I would mind if they were Bandmix former threads, but these are from my private email at Google and even thread titles from other forums. Anyone else notice that? These nosy Google bastards are really openly betraying the privacy of their clients. Guess it's time to move on from those jerks. Looks like the Gestapo branch of the government Internet Information Service has been really busy minding our business. :twisted:

It's a function of your browser. You should be able to disable it.

Yep Its part of the Browser autofill features.. Not just Google, but all of em.

This might prove helpful if you want to disable them:

Also, if you disable any of them , make sure you followup with a clear out of your cookies, History and and cache as well.

Thanks guys. This is the first time it happened to me even though I have been using this browser without changes for a few years. Now I'm off to kill the bad guy in my browser... :twisted:
