It could be for the new forum software the ECF were planning I suppose.

Presumably it doesn't take very long to install such software. The ECF were talking about it months ago, but perhaps that was the operative word, they were too busy talking about whether they complied with arbitrary guidelines from the SRA to ever get on and do anything.Carl Hibbard wrote:It could be for the new forum software the ECF were planning I suppose.
One of the Board meetings was talking about their forum having too many threads. I suspect they meant sections, but again isn't that just a matter of someone being given authority to restructure?

If it's treated as a guest or robot by the site, it can access anything a guest or robot can access. How the site is generated is not relevant.John Upham wrote: The Wayback Machine client advertises itself to http servers with a http user agent of ia_archiver
Obviously the WBM cannot authenticate itself and generate queries to retrieve data from a web site whose content is primarily stored in a database such as Oracle or MySQL.
It is most successful for flat, non-dynamic sites.
If the content of a dynamic page changes frequently, any given version is unlikely to be archived.

Obviously. If the bulk of the content requires authentication then the robot will have a short visit.Bill Porter wrote: If it's treated as a guest or robot by the site, it can access anything a guest or robot can access. How the site is generated is not relevant.

Gosh. Reading all this clever stuff I can imagine how the ape at the start of "2001: A Space Odyssey" must have felt.
