A user pointed out a suspicious website to me, and I found these suspicions to be valid (at least for the time being). We plan to do a post, but of course I want to archive first. Two problems:
When I submit the URLs I want to archive, archive.is doesn't archive all items on any given page. Pics for example are missing. I am not very experienced with archive.is, but submitting a single page URL at a time should do the trick? Well, it doesn't for me - the archived page is nowhere like the original page. See here screenshot cuts of before and after archiving: http://imgur.com/a/qtEe4
Second problem: Even if I decided to give the URL here for someone else to archive, we could not archive everything as there are also pages which can only be accessed if you are registered. I won't give away my login data, and I would not want more people to register there as the site seems a small organization, and more registrants in a short timeframe would be suspicious.
So I hope to get help with archiving! Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Maybe if you can view the webpage through another website. The only one I could think of was google translate. In the test below I put a voat thread in google translate, archived it, translated the archive back into English, and archived it again. It might not be the answer but it's worth a shot.

Anyhow, I tried it - same result. Only a few items get translated, just like before.

You are awesome - don't give up that easily, right? I love that! Thing is, the items that won't archive are images, and I won't be able to get them through Google translate, right?
