A link: To the Murga forum index page | WayBack machine | recent

Post by cobaka »

This link will take you to the now "mothballed" Murga Forum index page.

->> http://web.archive.org/web/202006260638 ... com/puppy/ <<-----<<

Previously I found other links but they pointed to older snapshots.
To be specific: the most recent link I found was 5 years old i.e. 2015.
The link above is recent.

Thanks to version2013 for posting some on the new forum that got me here.

Well done on posting the link to the latest snapshot of the Murga puppy forum. Looking at the calendar for 2020 in the Wayback Machine search this is the last snapshot taken.

It would be good if this thread is made sticky.

Edit:
Link to Wayback Machine 2020 Calendar view. ** The coloured marks on the calendar indicate dates snapshots taken.

Yes, that's good.

It takes you to the wayback cached first page of old forum. But does anyone know a direct way to get to the other pages of the forum from that start page?

I know how to search for other topics and get to them via google search (and including wayback versions if they popup in the results there), but that last cached start page doesn't help me (click on any link there and just takes you to the forum under maintenance page).

I also know how to use google search cache, but would be so great if the wayback link helped more generally (first page of forum not much use on its own; I presume I'm missing something here - some step or other...?).

On the Wayback Machine cached page [1], there is a wayback machine header graphic at the top of the page.
As of this posting, it displays "1,057 captures". Click on that link and you will go to a calendar view of all captures for that specific page.
Click on a year, mouse hover on a day with a dot, then click on snapshot time.

If you mouse hover on the "1,057 captures" link, depending on your browser, you may notice the link has an asterisk in place of a date.
You can replace any cached page's date with an asterisk and see the calendar view of all captures for that specific page.
Adding an asterisk to the end of the URL may result in more links being available, not all of which are useful.

Adding that end asterisk to certain URLs will result in browser slow downs, and browser script non-responsiveness because of the over 100,000 URLs the browser is trying to retrieve.
So, not always recommended.

Do not expect every link on an archived murga forum page to bring you to another archived page.
Any murga forum page may or may not have been archived by the archive bots.

If you know the forum URL you are looking for, then prepend that with:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/
and maybe even append an asterisk at the URLs end.

Some links point to pages with "&sid=bunchofnumbersandletters" at the end of the URL.
That is a unique page that is archived and the header graphic will display a number of page captures.
Deleting that "&sid=bunchofnumbersandletters" (and hitting enter on the keyboard) results in another unique page that is archived.
The header graphic will likely display a different number of page captures.

On the topic of archive.org...
Instead of waiting for the archive bots to eventually discover and capture every page on the internet, one can manually ask the wayback machine to capture a page, via their "Save Page Now"
http://web.archive.org/save

If you are signed-in to archive.org when visiting that page, you get a few extras options:
Save outlinks
Save screen shot
Save also in my web archive
Please email me the results

Sometimes saving a page is hit or miss. The requested archived page has been known (by me) to occasionally be slow to appear publicly for hours, so you may have to be patient.

Saving forum attachments is possible too. Input the attachment URL into the "Save Page Now" field.

The Australian State Governments have all enacted laws to steal your assets on your death. All legal paperwork is binned and all assets seized on one disgruntled child's complaint.Move them well before you die or go into a home.

So I want to look back in members or search to find out when I joined and others . (got mine it was 2013)
Can the wayback archive be searched then ?

How can I search it for any particular subject ?

Anyone know?

I just built a new search index for the oldforum, which indexed the entire number of topics and posts. So searches using the native search functions should be much improved.
