While looking in the History Library, I had my cursor on a site in the list, right clicked to view my options, and accidentally clicked on 'Forget About this Site'. Now the site is removed from all the history. How can I undo this action, and get the history back on that site?

Hi,

Unfortunately History backups are not kept. You may wish to use bookmarks instead.

Thank you Gryllida. My objective is to track activity to this site. Since I clicked on 'Forget about this Site', does that mean that I won't be able to do that for this site in the future? Or did it just wipe out the past history? If I bookmark it, will that make it appear in the history library again?

'Forget about this site' deletes all current history entries.

You will be able to visit the site in future and have its history saved in the same way as for other sites regardless of whether it is bookmarked or not.
