(cache) Archive.is blog

You wrote that a page can be rearchived "At least 2 hours after the last submussion". When I tried three and a half hours after, it failed i.e. it delivered the previous snapshot. Id would be great if you could fix this. Also it would be grate if you can fix the fact that an archive operation that returns a previous snapshot rather than make a new one as requested, there is NO ALERT to the user. If he does not spot the old time, he is left unaware that the output URL shows a different snapshot.

Can you provide more details about your URL (may be by email) ? Actually, there are some conditions with the delay much bigger than 2 hours; for example if the submitted URL ends with .png or .jpg. If it is not the case then it must be a bug.

About the alert it would be a good feature, thank you.

Is there any way to force the site to save an updated version of a URL that has already been archived once?

Yes. At least 2 hours after the last submussion. There used to be 5 min threshold, I increased it because of many submissions performed by broken bots and some urls (with static content!) were submitted thousand of times every 5 minutes. I understand that it is not convenient for thouse whose who would like to archive dynamic content so I am looking for a better solution (perhaps the white list of the sites which are updated quickly, such as twitter)

Some pages which load content only after the user scrolls the page do not get archived fully. For example, most of the articles on Salon com

Do you mean “loading comments“ below? Scrolling does not help here :-( I will investigate it.

If possible, could you make it so that CSS3 gradient backgrounds are rendered in the snapshots? Compare: archive is w8xM0 with archive today a4phI fdaaaf46db144d06c6788f6b524fb01e85ffe787 png.

My browser is quite old.
“background: -webkit-linear-gradient(cyan 0%, #E5F 100%)“ is supported but “background: linear-gradient(to bottom, cyan 0%, #E5F 100%)“ is not, it is too modern.

I have an FM radio news program with a website that relies on Archive-is to store primary resources for our listener audience to study. We archive pages that may be deemed "politically incorrect" but are used to show what the subject of a news story believes. Can we be re-assured that no political content will be erased, even 'historical revisionist', communist, anarchist or islamic pages? Thank you!

Sure.
