Archive.today blog

I accidentally created an archive today page, thinking it was a live site, and tried to key-in my login and password (which show as asterisks). Of course, it did nothing. Do I need to worry about the security of my login information? (by the way, I can't find the archive today page that I think I created - so this may be a non-issue)

Form submission is disabled in the snapshots and all scripts are removed.
It is safe to enter information in the fields, nothing could be sent to the Internet. -
Some years ago I wrote about twenty articles about electronics in knol. This plataform later dissapeared, and now I'm posting the articls to a new place, which is "max-iskram" in an openshift server. I found the old refrences in archive today, and I would like to fix the addresses in order to redirect to the new site. Is that possible?
I do not like the redirect idea, it would not comply with the idea of archiving snapshots of old pages.
It seems that the problem is that the snapshots of your old pages are shown in Google and your pages in new place do not?
I submitted request to Google to remove the snapshots from the index, it should help your new pages to appear there. -
What do you think about the discussion currently on the Administrators' Noticeboard at the English Wikipedia? These people are making baseless claims and allegations against you, without any firm evidence. Some of these people are not allowing anybody to use links to your site on Wikipedia.
I think archive.is better fits needs of small amateur wikis and forums than big players like Wikipedia or Stack Overflow.
Wikipedia could buy an enterprise archiving service (e.g. pagefreezer) for 50-150k$/year. It is only 0.1-0.3% of their annual expenditures.
I cannot provide higher level of uptime and support, even for money. -
Hello Archive, could you provide an option to spoof the Archive Robot user-agent? I would like to archive the mobile version of some websites but I can't get it with the current mechanism. Thank you.
It is not easy, PhantomJS allows to spoof User-Agent only for the request of the main page, not for the images and AJAX requests :( So you may get something weird instead of the mobile version.

Will you one day publish your code and put it under an GPL or BSD or similar license?
I think no. Actually the code need to be rewritten from scratch, it is very ugly :)

archiveis doesn't seem to detect the domain of an internet archive image if the date is proceeded by an underscore (i.e. 201310924_ or 21389471845im_), can this be fixed?
Fixed.

All the digital images on the page archived is not showing when on the website, it still visible. Did I did something wrong?
One of the servers (img.archive.is) was down, it should be ok now.

Is it possible for you to provide a facility to search the archived pages through the text they contain?

Do you plan to stick with the new archive-dot-today domain long-term? Or is it likely to be a temporary domain for the service?
This is difficult to plan. The system of domain ownership is very fragile, it has weak points (mostly human factor) which can be attacked.
If you are concerned which domain (archive.is or archive.today) to use in the permanent links, I would bet on archive.is, which is redirecting to archive.today and will redirect to a new domain in case of problems with archive.today.
