Twitter: Comment Form Has Own Name

Nick Snyder tweeted call for help about an EE comment form that keeps filling in his name.

My comment form keeps spitting out my name when I put {name} in the {exp:comment:entries} tag pair. Anyone smarter than me out there? #eecms

This is mostly likely because you’re logged in to the site’s Control Panel. As a logged-in user, ExpressionEngine automatically populates the form. This happens because you’re using the {name} variable in your input field value parameter.

So, no worries, ExpressionEngine is just trying to help you out!
