w_sp8er Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 It would be nice to have an archive of the old forum's posts. If you don't want to put them here, are you able to zip them & email or pm them to me...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I've successfully downloaded the old forums to my hard drive--over a 28.8 speed connection, for what it's worth mirror complete in 2 hours 43 minutes 26 seconds : 3376 links scanned, 2546 files written (66855239 bytes overall)I should check with Jon before posting it to the web--I could upload it to my old university account until the end of December. So all is not lost However, it's not a perfect mirror: You cannot search or easily display old pages, although I think I have all the old posts. One way to access the old forums is to put the old forum's IP address in your computer's hosts file:66.36.97.80 www.hiddensoft.com Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

caspermurphy Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I am slowly learning this I have updated my Hosts file, how do I access the old forum after doing that? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Well, on Windows 2000/XP you just need go to www.hiddensoft.com/forum after you make the hosts' file change. Windows Me/9x may require you to disconnect or even reboot before the change takes effect Hope that helps Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

Administrators Jon Posted December 5, 2003 Administrators Share Posted December 5, 2003 I've just had the cancellation confirmation from the old site, so if it's not dead yet it will be soon...

foscmgt Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Hi CyberSlugI come back of holidays. (one week) and... surprise ! 'm waiting for an answer but old forum not found !I tried thisOne way to access the old forums is to put the old forum's IP address in your computer's hosts file:66.36.97.80 www.hiddensoft.comandWindows Me/9x may require you to disconnect or even reboot before the change takes effectbut not work.I'm afraid it's too late.Where I can find this files ?The download time, speed and size is not a problemThanks a lot.Manel Manel(foscmgt #20741) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Okay, I've uploaded the old forum posts to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AutoIt/files/ - The ZIP download is 2.14 MB, and it occupies about 15 MB when uncompressed.- I think all the posts are there; I removed some unnecessary files to shrink the download size. (I used the program WinHTTrack website copier, by the way, to download the site.)- However, only the first page of topics is available for each sub-forum because it was dynamically generated by the old forum server. The forum "search" feature is not available for the same reason.- It would be pretty easy to create a "table of contents" from the topic___.html files. The sixth line of each of those files contains the TITLE of the post topic. I'll leave this as an exercise to HTML gurus with spare CPU cycles Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!
