Help needed: Found a suspicious website but archive.is doesn't seem to archive the complete pages - what am I doing wrong? (pizzagate)

submitted ago by sensitive

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?

The image host server might have blocked archive from accesing it, in which case you need to either:

  • Try to archive the image link separately
  • capture (crtl+Prt SC --> ctrl+V to any image/word program in your computer)
  • download the image (note: malware hidden in the file possible, run with virus scan)

To piggyback what anonOpenPress said, if you can right-click on an image, get the URL for that image, and archive that, that would be a good work around. If that works, you will also want archive the regular web pages so that people can see the images with the context.
