On a few occasions, when in deep thought and psyching myself up to do battle on Chi, I have typed in an incorrect username. Now, when I put in the first letter, ie 's' I have a choice of 'steadygoy', steafyguy and steadguty.
As a result of this I have to type in the correct word, ie 'steadyguy' every time I want to clock in. So, can I delete these incorrect versions? Huh? Sleepy Roll Eyes

SG, I don't know about deleting the incorrect versions but if you click the 'Details' button at the top of the scoreboard you can tick a box so that you're automatically signed in when you open the Chi web page.

To eliminate the mistyped names in Internet Explorer, click on 'Tools', then 'Internet Options' to open a dialogue box. On the 'General' tab, centre area titled 'Browsing history', click the 'Delete' button. That opens a new dialogue box. Make sure the 'Form data' box is checked before clicking on the 'Delete' button there. That should clear those mistyped names.

That'll work - but it'll delete ALL the form data!!!!!

You don't need to do that!!!

Just click in the box and type s and the list of options will appear - now use the arrow keys to go to the one you want to delete, and press the Delete key on the keyboard and that entry will go (and only that one).  Repeat for the rest of the duff entries.

Thank you!
I haven't had a problem with Chi, but I did
have an annoying A in my e-mail account
(Tried to move forward with tab before accepting
my name with enter - as a result I have had to
use arrows to get to my name  Roll Eyes )

I never have to log on.  I have always been logged on ever since I joined, many moons ago.  Why do people have to log on?  Are you in a public library?
