The extension seems like its working but auto-save and manually saving a page results in "Save Failed" error, making me go to the website directly to save a page.

The archive.org extension and the servers are still back.

I love the idea, but every time I attempt to save a page, it tells me "Save Failed," and when I hover over it, it says that I need to be "logged in to use Save Page Now," despite the fact that I am logged in. Are you able to fix this?

As of today 10-NOV-2024, I am unable to archive any page when logged in on this Chrome extension, it is asking me to log in even when I AM ALREADY LOGGED IN. If I log out I am able to archive by clicking on the Save Page Now button, but I will miss out on the outlink and screenshot archiving feature because those need me to be logged in.

I can’t say enough good things about the Wayback Machine! It’s like a time machine for the internet. I love being able to check out old versions of my favorite websites or see how things looked years ago. It's super easy to use, and it’s helped me out so many times, whether for research or just out of curiosity. Huge shoutout to the Internet Archive for all the hard work they put into preserving our digital history. If you haven’t tried it yet, definitely give it a go—you won’t regret it!

Quick question: I have been using the service to read books, but I noticed that I am unable to access any books today. Is the the book collection website working properly? Thanks! Best, Connie

it does work, but the wayback machine is down right now because of a ddos attack, that's why you can't access this right now. you should also check your email in HaveIBeenPwned if you have an account on the wayback machine.

Everything is good, but it's better to open new tab beside current.

I love it, but I wish there was a way to tailor the "auto save page" option to only save certain URLs instead of only being able to exclude. I mainly use it to archive writing on a few websites, and I end up having to do sometimes each chapter manually.
