When I start a reply, I get a list of previous posts that started the same letter. When on my tablet this is a pain in the ass because it covers the on screen keyboard.
I have looked around and do not know if this is a browser setting (I have different browsers on my tablet and my PC, and it happens on both) or a setting on DU.

Is this a function of my DU Account, and if so, where do I turn it off.

but on my tablet, it blocks the on screen keyboard, stopping me from writing until I get it to go away.
Can I stop it?

It will be a setting in your browser. Try doing an internet search for the make of your browser and something like this:

firefox turn off form autofill

or

chrome turn off form autocomplete

You should get some useful results which will hopefully help you figure out how to turn it off.

checked my Firefox settings and Autofill is turned off. Also, I use a different browser on my tablet, with Autofill also turned off.

I'll look into this further. There may be something we can do at our end to help resolve it. I'll get back to you.
