Parental Controls - block all sites with a domain?

The wildcard character "*" did not work as hoped or expected in Parental Controls on my 10.5.3 system. I had hoped to block all myspace pages with the entry "http://*.myspace.com" but the site remains wide open to my browser. If I enter "http://profiles.myspace.com" and "http://messages.myspace.com" and "http://www.myspace.com" then those specific URLs are blocked. I wish it were possible to block the entire site with one entry using a wildcard.

I do know if this will work or not, but you can try it. You could try a wildcard such as www. *.facebook.com where the"*" is the symbol for a wildcard.

This might work...

Let us all know if it does!!!

Go to the Parental Controls system preference, select the appropriate user account and unlock the preference so you can make changes, then select the Content tab. At the lower part of the screen, you'll see a radio button for "Allow access to only these websites". Click the "+" button and you can put in your own URLs. Whether or not the wildcard Glynn suggested will work I don't know.

Regards.

Sorry, I was misthinking (I was actually thinking about a scenario I had last summer) and pointed to the exact reverse of what you were looking for. Glad you found the correct spot.
