question - address history (1 Viewer)

[iambored]

i am referring to the address bar, and the fact that when you type an address it comes up with the previous addresses beginning with the letters you have typed.

well i did a typo and at the moment i have:
www.boreddofstudies.org which appears before the actual boredofstudies address and i want to get rid of it as sometimes i click on it instead of the real one, and it just wastes time. how do i take it away?

go to Tools> Internet Options

Under Content Tab

go to Auto Complete

Click on Clear Forms.

That's it

yeah i have tried that before, and i just did then but it didn't do anything, i just opened a new window, types www.bor and it came up with all the previous ones

Have you also cleared your history as well?

It's located in the internet options General Tab

Why don't you just delete that "boredd" history altogether, if clearing the History, Autocomplete-forms (cached URLs) doesn't work?

Hit Control +H
Search for "boredd" or navigate through your history of sites, looking for the one entry. It could be 3 weeks ago, or 2, or last week, today etc. Wherever you can find your 'boredd' - right-click the main (yellow) folder and hit delete. This should remove it from your drop-down list, or past sites visited (such as boredd).

to be precise, 1024MB = 1GB, not 1000MB = 1GB.

Correct, but according to Telstra 1GB = 1000MB. They're so scummy that their own customers are getting ripped off (by a small margin, but you can do a lot with 72MB if you knew you had that little bit extra each month).

The same can be said for hard disks, purchasing a 120GB does not entitle you to 120GB, but rather ~111GB. (This is another story, however).

Yes, Telstra don't consider 1024MB to be 1GB.

On a 3GB plan, you would have 'lost' 72MB, about 4-5 hours worth of downloading on 56k?

72MB / 17.578125MB per hour (at 5KB/s)
= 4.096 hours

legal action!!!

Yes, talk to the Telecommunications Ombudsman or ACCC, but I don't think you'll get too far.
