Accessing the old archive

[Wibblyp]

I note that the old technical archive times out when the search parameter is set to search "All posts". Will this remain so ? It just means a lot of technical help is no longer available.

Cheers

I want to bring the old forum over to our new web hosting and get the search fixed at the same time - drives me nuts too.

Problem is our current host is being rather uncooperative and won't supply me with the files required for the transfer. Will have to keep nagging until they give me the data

Does the data contained within the archive not belong to the members ?

So I need to work out a way to download the entire forum from the archive haha!

Yes if you work out a way to download the entire archive WITH linked pictures please tell gshaw.

Found some options but i think it would hammer the servers too much!

So i have found a tool to do it but it will take a long time, I can hand it over to the Admins to use if they want to backup the old forum?

[DotMatrix]

Yes sure let gshaw know on metropower.website@gmail.com

What tool is it?

Easiest way I found was to let google do the searching. Way better than the archive search!

In the google search bar type whatever you are searching for followed by site:www.metropower.org.uk

There is also an extension you can add to Chrome to Firefox browsers that will unblock Photobucket images. Just search in the appropriate stores
