Something wrong is going on with my safari web history... the thing is that the History doesnt last more than 2 days, when I click on history on the menu bar, it only shows the day before... that is really annoying... :/.... by the way,. I have something installed called "Stand"... does that make any difference?.... also i have safari 2.0.4, should i take the Beta?

Go to Safari > Prefences > General tab and change the remove history item to something longer.

You mean SafariStand? I'm not familiar with its features but it's a likely culprit. Safari 2 has a default of keeping history for two weeks. Installing Safari 3 may not solve the problem or may not work at all if you've got Safari 2 add-ons installed.

Of course you don't, since it's a Safari 3 feature like I said earlier.

I didn't see your post-I was intending to reply to CATS, whose post made it seem as if ALL versions of Safari had this feature-and I've never been a big user of Safari, so I didn't know any better. Sorry to have glossed over your post-seeing it would have saved me the trouble of capturing the picture and hosting it...
