No problem. Screenshots work as well, but it's a bit inconvenient having to upload them to an image hosting site.

Also its easier to claim a screenshot was photoshopped, which is kind of hard to disprove without visiting the live page. And even if you visit the page there's a chance that it's been changed...

(I especially love when people make redundant archives of a page, because in the case of ninja edits you can use archives to try to pin down the timeframe in which the edit occurred! Anyone who needlessly makes another archive of a page, I consider to be doing future researchers a great service.)

Yeah, it's a silly OCD thing I was thinking about once (redundantly making several archived versions of a website because I don't like wasting space, etc.)

Anyone who needlessly makes another archive of a page, I consider to be doing future researchers a great service.) But I guess it's a good thing then! I'll just re-create an archive then in that case instead of revisiting the same archive link I made!

I honestly wonder how those websites that archive get around the legal issues that could arise, and the possible copyright stuff.
