Login Options

Does anybody else get a list full of users names (not everyones) when clicking to login?

Example:


I mean, it's not like if I click on one of them their password appears of anything (I swear lol) but I just wondered why a bunch of users names would appear there.

Thats weird, it doesnt happen to me when i log in, i only get my own username

I never even log-in, unless my auto log-in gets disabled or something.

Ditto, and then all I really have to do is click a button, it's not like I even enter in my name.

Ditto again. Auto-memorize function ftw!

Who knows why that happens Ziggy. I think that's pretty badass. Oh, and no, I don't get it.

Hmmm....that so strange.........

Well, it's not like I can do anything with them. I don't have their passwords. I just thought it was odd I'd have all these names on my browser when I go in for Fakku. I'm sad I'm the only one.

I guess that saying "One (wo)man's trash is another man's treasure" would work well here. Even if I couldn't login, I still think it'd be pretty cool to have Fakku user's names show up (I would be honored if there was a set list of names in place and my name was on it). Lol.

again with Ditto.except when i'm loging in from my phone.

Tried it...and I don't get it too. All I get are two names of the user that used my comp to log in. Whose comp did you use to log in? Maybe it's just recording the past users that logged in using the comp too.

I somehow doubt that "Takeda Ronin", TMS, "Tsuni", Waar, "zero no tsukaima" ALL sneak into FPOD's and Ziggy's place every night to log in on fakku and bust shit up majorly. I might be wrong though.

As this is your browser's auto-complete, I'd wager those names have been used in the search/PM/some other function incorporating a text field for user name entry on your machine before, and now firefox is presenting them to you when hitting a similar form field.

Edit: MY THEORY: CONFIRMED. It works that way for me too.

Has Tsuni, Waar, and the other users log in to Fakku by using your computer? O_O

Yea, but all the names I don't even know of. It's not like I sit here and try to crack peoples names. I only use my own username to log on, once in a while Fpods but only because he'd be on the road for work and wanted to claim a Pokemon for that one thread.

But you get a list of people as well?

And No People. I don't have a Fakku get together every night at my house for them to log on

Allow me to explain:
Every time you enter something in a form field with a corresponding label, and then submit the form, firefox retains this entry for future use.

My first thought was that firefox mixes up names from the "login username" form field and any other "username" form field. A plausible candidate seemed to be the "search by username" field in fakku.net/search.php

To test this hypothesis, I first went and checked what proposals firefox had for me for the login field ("gibbous", end of list). Then I went to the search page, and hammered a few searches by user name, using some made-up usernames ("asdfasdf" "plaaplaaplaa", ...).
Then I went back to the login form, and checked what suggestions firefox had in store now - and behold, it now also suggested the usernames I had used in the search box before, alongside my own login (new suggestions: "gibbous", "asdfasdf", "plaaplaaplaa", ...) .

So, if you (or FPOD) have ever searched for posts by any of these users you mention in your original post - or sent them a PM - or anything else, then that would possibly be causing that.
