The bookmarklet doesn't work on Twitter. I'm using Firefox.
Anonymous
I am afraid the only ways are:
- use another browser
- try the Firefox extention instead of the bookmarklet (I did not tested it)
Firefox has in its source code the four domains where bookmarklets should not work: twitter.com, github.com, mail.google.com, reddit.com (but they do work on www.reddit.com)
- use another browser

Google Translate is no longer being archived. I used archive-is with news articles after being put through Google Translate. Now pages translated using that service no longer seem to be capable of being archived. Help!
Fixed!
Thank you for reporting!

You mentioned there's no hot backup as of yet. Just wondering - is it plausible there could be one? Or is the site to big at this point? (I'm guessing it's in the ~5TB range)
5Tb is weekly growth :)

Images on medium/com are blurry. Because of medium/com dev team made images blurry until your browser focuses on them.
Fixed.
Thank you for reporting the problem!

I asked that question -where are you located- because you might be located in earth quake area like for example archive org (San Francisco) and then there is a risk that all archiving has no sense...
We have two copies in different locations (although there is no hot backup yet, and disaster at the location of the primary copy may cause few days of downtime).

How do end users know that archived pages aren't doctored or altered?
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?
No. You may be interested in similar Q&A: http://blog.archive.is/tagged/opensource

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.
