I recently bought a new DELL laptop and it seems to have an automatic save function. [View all]

For instance, when I write in the Thread Title line on a post in DU, the next time I go to write a title for a response or to start a discussion, at least 6 of my last titles pop up for me to select.

How do I stop this from happening. Is there an option I can turn off?

Thanks for the help.
