Intresting to see how boards has changed. Just search for boards.ie and it comes up with how the site looked years back

Hmmm, interesting indeed. What was the deal with that gammy green looking one.

that's kinda cool... archive.org, not the old boards layout.

Sigh.

don't forget if a site goes down you can still look at the google snapshot by sdearchign for the url on google and clicking on the '[cached]' link to bring up what was there the last time the google bot ran over the site.

Yeah it's a great site-one of my favourites. Interesting to go back and see how various things like mobiles and cameras have evolved in the last eight years or so.

They have the old versions of my sites up there, though not all of them, lol

Brilliant!!

:D

I had (as it turns out) a cool DHTML script on an old version of a website since amended. I tried digging in my webspace to no avail. I searched every folder on my PC to no avail.(deleted the local copy of the old version of the site apparently :rolleyes: ) I thought it might have been javascript so I searched javascript sites for it. After about 2 hours I gave up and said to myself. "Ah I'll check a few boards.ie threads before bed"...found this thread, entered my site into the archive search....2001....BINGO!! Theres the script I wanted! What a stroke of luck, coincidence etc etc.

Yes I know I know, "what a sad bastard looking for a DHTML script on a Saturday night or any kind of script...WTF is a script anyway etc etc"

:D
