I reset Safari and I have found that I can no longer track history beyond the current day that I am using my machine. In the past I have been able to track my history for several days and the history menu would show a separate menu for each day. Has anybody else experienced this and is their a way of getting back to the original setup?

Do you happen to have any Safari enhancers installed by chance?

I noticed a new feature in v2.5 is:

New Feature: Configuring of history menu and history item limits.

What is that set to for you? 20 is default I believe...you may want to try bumping that up...

The problem is that it doesn't seem to save any history.

Have you deleted your Safari .plist file?

Hmm, only thing I can think of is try getting rid of all instances of Safari Enhancer 2.5 and see how it goes...

Safari enhancer probably did something to the program itself. Your issue probably has nothing to do with the actual plist. If one disables the cache in one account, it is disabled in all. Simplest thing to do is just download the program again, then delete the old one.

Actually what Safari Enhancer did was default my history to 20 entries. I changed to 999 entries and everything is back to normal.

This feature on SE 2.5 bugs me as well.. 999 sounds to be the right number.

FYI: Safari Enhancer doesn't install anything. All it does is make changes to Safari's preferences file that Safari itself doesn't let you change.

In other words, it's just extra preferences for functions that are 100% built-into Safari.
