How did drupal know my email address?
anth - June 27, 2009 - 01:00
I just did a fresh install of drupal 6 on my local WAMP installation. Once the database was created the installation took me to the configuration page, where you create the admin login, server settings, etc. My email address was already filled in on both the site email and administrator email fields... what the hell?? how the?? can someone help? I completely cleared my WWW folder before dragging in the contents from the drupal-6.12.tar.gz directly into the WWW folder.
Seriously confused.
any ideas?

previously stored because you didn't clear your browser cache maybe.
that's not how browser cache
pretty sure that's not how browser cache works brotha. any other ideas?
Drupal has psychic powers ;)
If your database was blank before you installed, then it comes from your browser... no other possibility. Not cache, but browsers do pre-populate forms with previous info (especially if the browser sees those fields as if they were login fields). It has nothing to do with any files; the emails are only stored in the database. In any case what's the issue? Just change it if you want.
