I figured out how to show the full internet address in the top of the window

Post by The Paul meister »

Hi again,

If you want the actual website to show up on the top of the screen, do this:

Safari -> Settings -> Advanced. Then click on 'Show full website address' next to 'Smart Search field'.

This will show the page you are on. This is useful if you want to copy and paste a website into another post, or for any website that you want to share.

Cheers, Paul

This thread should be amalgamated with the scroll bar thread and considered for 'stickieness' (maybe renamed something like "Mac OS tips and tricks")?

Still mourning the loss of my 'Jedi Poster" status :)

People often mistake me for a grown-up because of my age.

This is good, because now people can decide whether they want all the info in the bar all the time, or just have it there when you click on it.

SOS does not impose what you see in your browser - instead, we prefer to let users configure their browser settings preferences however they see fit. πŸ‘

A bit harsh, Dave. Everyone is at a different stage in their learning curve, so generosity of spirit has always been SOS's way.

You can't make music, after all, on a Mac without knowing first how to use it. ;-)
