How do end users know that archived pages aren't doctored or altered?
Anonymous
Many pages are altered. Main reason is to remove a popup or login box covering the content.

Do you ever plan to open-source the software so we can run our own instances?

Is there a new maximum number of archived pages per site? one major site which had several thousand archived pages suddenly has only 1000.
There is no limit, but when you search for a whole domain, it shows only 10000 latest snapshots from that domain even if there are much more. This limit has been 1000 for short time, I just reverted it to 10000.

When the website saves reddit links, does it also save the parts which are not expanded?
It tries to click on “expand” and to save the version of page with comment expanded. Sometimes, when there are too many expand buttons, page size grows rapidly and the browsers slows down so it cannot perform expand in all the places and some of comments are left collapsed and not archived.

Archive I found that needs pruning due to error: E2f3R (the other instances of it all work except this one.)
That website displayed the error message and it was captured.

Can the thumbnails of websites in the archiveis search results be Retina-friendly? Right now they look really blurry on a MacBook with Retina Display.
I do not have a MacBook here but I managed to reproduce it on a Samsung tablet.
I did something that makes the thumbnail more sharp.
Please let me know if it helped on the MacBook too. -
Ghostery doesn't show up anything on the archived version of pages, which is wonderful. Does the archived version remove all the tracking scripts from websites, and if yes, how does it do that? :)
The scripts are executed when a page is being archived; the result is saved.
To get the idea you may have a look at the mementos of http://time.is here: http://archive.is/time.is
The clock stopped at the time of the capture. -
Why is the link I'm trying to save stuck on a page saying "#1 in queue"?
The server was overloaded with too many submissions from tweetsave.com :(

Is it possible to have an archived page presented without the header at the top? And maybe an option to only show the webpage option? It would be great if this option could simply be added to the URL (e.g. append something like this to the URL ?noheader=1)
What is the goal ?
To embed archives into pages on other websites (like youtube videos) ?

When I archive links from Reddit and Pinterest, the output looks poor , often times. Can anything be done about that?
Can you provide more details in order to locate and fix the bug faster ?
Which links, what is your browser, what is poor?
