Sultanpepa Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 As title, I have an annoying drop down box which appears every time I click in the Tag box. It has two words in it. They never change and were used some time ago when keywording. They're starting to really bug me. Anyone know how to get rid of them or why they've appeared in the first place?

shearwater Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hello Sultanapepa, Not sure what you really mean (an image would help), but clearing your browser caches and/or coockies might help. The way depends on the browser that you use. Do it carefully because you could also delete Historical visit records and another info which you may don't want to loose. Hope it helps.

Regards AIM > click to Select image > left click in (add new tags) box. I now see a drop down box with previously used keywords which I can click on to add to the box. Like a library of words but with only two that can be selected. Always the same two words. I think it's a gremlin that maybe only affects me. I'm using chrome browser.

gvallee Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I don't get it either with Chrome. Strange one. Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearwater Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Yes, it seems an autofill form feature by chrome. You can use another browser to check it. I can suggest to follow this links guides: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000553.htm https://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=26487 There is much info about that, just google something like this: chrome clear autofill form data delete autocomplete history Hope it helps.

I wish I didn't have to clear all history though as I like the function in other respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHP Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I haven't seen this in AIM, but I have seen it elsewhere on forms (using Chrome on a Mac). I can clear the individual entries by highlighting the entry and pressing fn-shift-delete. Not sure if you are on a Mac or PC, but this might work (or the PC equivalent). Hope this helps.

Sultanpepa Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Well I followed Wim's link best I could but the instructions didn't quite match what I was seeing on my PC. So the problem is gone but my forms auto complete may have gone too. I'll find out the first time I go to fill something in. However, I'm pleased to have got rid of the damn box, it really was starting to bug me. Thanks Wim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
