Minor (but annoying!) feature request

This is a very minor request.

When I visit a thread on VC, the title of the page is such:

THREAD TITLE - VisorCentral.com

The annoyance is that I use Internet Explorer 5 on the Mac (and I think the PC version also has this same feature) and when I go to the address bar and start typing in a web site, it will auto-fill with the last memorized sites that match my typing.

What happens is that a lot of VC threads are the same topic as sites I like to visit, such as:

APPLE IS DEAD - VisorCentral.com

so that when I want to go to apple's site, it starts filling in with the thread that I just visited.

Does that make sense? Basically, my autofill function in my web browser is being cluttered with VC threads.

Anyways, I was wondering if you could just reverse the thread page titles so that they read:

VisorCentral.com - THREAD TITLE.

Seems like a simple fix to an admittedly obscure problem.

Actually, i just noticed that this page (where I create a new thread) is labeled:

VisorCentral.com - Post New Thread

so, actually, having the thread title come AFTER VC.com would actually be more consistent .

You could just turn off the auto completion feature of IE 5. I found it annoying and haven't used it since day one. Plus, for security purposes, do you want everyone that uses your computer to know where you have been surfing?

You can use TweakUI to automaticaly clear your history every time you close the browser.

Good points, but I actually like the auto-fill feature. It makes it easier to find sites I visited a few days previous but weren't necessarily worthy of being bookmarked.
