Hell yeah! :) I've even used links from it in these forums before, including the
first PureBasic page like you did. ;) It's great for finding stuff when current
pages give a 404 error. Sometimes you can get old zip files and images that
have long been deleted by the site's owner. :twisted:

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I hadn't been aware of that site before but with it I was able to get a copy of a web page I saw a while back that was no longer on the site...

That site went into my favorites IMMEDIATELY! :mrgreen:

I've got the following link set as a button in Firefox, so that whenever I'm
visiting a web site, I can click the button to go directly to the archived site:

Code: Select all

javascript:location.href='http://web.archive.org/web/*/'+location.href

@PB,

Thanks! I'll have to see if I can make that work in SlimBrowser/IE7
