Safari 4.0.4

How do you set up Safari Autofill? It would be a big help if I'd could have my
email address and forum user name on AutoFill for signing into forums and
signing into ImageShack. I appreciate everyone's help in advance. :)

Does this help?

Enabling AutoFill

If you shop online, AutoFill can make entering information such as Ship To addresses much easier. Safari gets this information from your Address Book card, and will automatically fill in any relevant information into webpage fields.

To enable Safari to AutoFill using your Address Book information, choose Safari > Preferences, click the AutoFill button, and select the "Using info from my Address Book card" checkbox. To make sure that your card is up to date, click the Edit button to open Address Book.

How would I put my own email address into Address? Isn't Address suppose to be for other
people other than yourself? Plus, how would I put my forum user name into Address? :confused:

I think you are added to Address Book when you first install OS X. In any case, you could always add a card for yourself.

As for forum names and passwords, if you've checked the User Names and Passwords box in Safari->Preferences->AutoFill, Safari should ask if you want the information saved after you enter it on the webpage. Unless the page specifically precludes such activity. And perhaps some pages use cookies to store such info.
 
Safari > Preferences > AutoFill > User names and passwords [Edit...]

I'm locked out. I'm not allowed to edit that for some strange reason. :confused:
