  Hello,

  This is the generated code for my contact form:

  [contact-form subject='Message from website!'][contact-field label='Name' type='name' required='1'/][contact-field label='Email' type='email' required='1'/][contact-field label='Phone' type='url' required='1'/][contact-field label='Preferred Method of Contact' type='select' required='1' options='Email,Phone'/][contact-field label='Message' type='textarea' required='1'/][/contact-form]

  When I preview my “Contact” page, my personal information is auto-filled into the slots.

  How do I delete this, so the slots are just normal and blank?

  Thanks!

  Rachel

  You see your personal information auto-filled because you are logged in to WordPress.com. If I look at your site, then I’d see my personal information auto-filled in the contact form.

  Try this: log out of your WordPress.com account, then go to http://reflexionsbyrachel.com/ . You will see that the form shows no information.

  Only logged in WordPress.com (Gravatar) users can see an auto-filled contact form. And what logged in users see is their own information.

  Note to staff: it would be helpful if this information could be added to the support article about the contact form. This question comes up in the forum quite often.

  That’s a great suggestion, Tess. I’ve added that information to the contact form support page here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/#add-a-new-contact-form
