Unwanted auto fill of background color

Hi All,
The big green guy here, just wanted to let you all know that we now have the reputation system in place, the reputation system allows you to give a visible pat on the back to those that have helped you or whose information has been helpful.

You will see an icon in every post (Light Blue scales), click this to give the reputation point to whom you think deserves it, a green square appears for a reputation with more and more adding over time.Pretty soon you will see a string of green squares appear in the top right of your posts as your reputation grows and your forum presence!

Good Luck!
The Hulkster!

Unwanted auto fill of background color

This seems like it should be such an easy thing to fix, but I'm completely at a loss! I'm working on a spreadsheet, and I have filled a row of cells with a certain background color. Then, when I go to the next row, I begin entering information, and as soon as I hit tab or enter to leave the cell, it automatically changes to have the same background color as the cells above it. Then I have to go back in and manually change the cell format to have no background color. This is really irritating. Can anyone help me? I've tried clearing conditional formatting, and I looked for an option in the autocomplete section of Options. But, I couldn't find anything that helped. This is driving me crazy, and wasting time. Please help!!
