TCH-Thomas Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 In my case that link is good, then I can go back and see in which way I have developed in this. I checked how my site jikrantz.com looked in the late 2003. It was...terrible...or is it that now?...hm... Quote

GroovyFish Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 I have a friend that has used it when talking to perspective clients. For example, they will show them a previous client's site before in the wayback machine and then after they re-designed it. Quote
GroovyFish Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 You can take a look at Microsoft's site in 1996 here: http://web.archive.org/web/19961020014044/http://www.microsoft.com/ Quote

I think that is excellent - I am going to look one up I have done - http://web.archive.org/web/20031203153354/...arterhorses.ca/ vs now http://www.justabitoquarterhorses.ca/welcome.htm Quote
MikeJ Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Your Gorilla got bigggger! He's been eating a lot of banana's lately. Quote

borfast Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Yep, the way back machine is pretty nice indeed I've known it for quite some time and I can tell you that one of it's many uses is to resolve disputes about which website has copied another (being the guy who helps Tim Murtaugh updating his http://pirated-sites.com site, I know what I'm talking about ). I also use it to show my customers that old websites may not work well in modern browsers, because they weren't built thinking of that. I then use that to explain them why it is important to build their websites following web standards - to make sure their site is "future-proof". Quote
whoahorse Posted November 18, 2004 Author Posted November 18, 2004 Hey is part of future proof having a website that is viewed better at 800 or 1000 settings? Any thoughts? Weezy Quote
MikeJ Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 I would favor 1024 but my mother and a friend of mine still insist on keeping their systems at 800x600 (which bugs the ***** out of me when I use their machines), and I keep seeing how my sites don't look quite right on them. I have no idea what "industry recommendation" is though. I'm not exactly a web designer. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 Over at w3schools they keep stats on this. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp Quote
DarqFlare Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 All of the archives of OMGN don't work. Images don't load, but the general layout is there. It's strange... Probably has to do with my site structure. It also doesn't load the stylesheet correctly. Quote
