Help required immediatley regarding back dating websites...

[Woody3]

Right I have a problem with some information on a website, which as been altered.

Is there a way (I can remember vaguely there is a way to do this, but have forgotten) that I can back date the website to (say last week), to show me the information that was on that site at that point before it was modified? If there is, how?

If not I'm in trouble!!!


Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Liam

Four Options

a) Ask your designer to revert from his backups
b) Ask your web host to revert to their backups
c) Check your Cache
d) www.archive.org/

Good Luck

Google Cache?

It's not my website.

The thing is, is that I seen a Porsche on autotrader that was for sale at a Porsche Centre. The price of the Porsche as gone up £2k, from what it originally was.

so I have two options:

1- Back date the Porsche Approved website to last week that I visted

or

2- Back date the Auto trader website that I visted also

Are there any files I hav on my computer that as temporily saved it maybe?


Can you tell I'm really desperate?


Thanks

You're post doesn't really make much sense but try

for a cache of a websites history.

If these aren't your websites I'm not sure what the problem is... sorry for sounding dense. You've spotted a Porker for sale at a price, you've found it listed somewhere else as well. Now, the price has altered on one of these sites but not the other by +£2k.

If it's a) not your car that's being advertised b) not your website it's being sold on then... I honestly don't see how you can change anything. The only option I can see is possible it's a car your company is selling, in which case talk to the person or people in charge of the advertising of the motors and point out the discrepancy.

As said, if it's not your site(s) and not your content you can't "roll back" to an earlier time because you have no control over any aspect needed to restore a backup/update the content.

You may be thinking of the Wayback Machine. It won't help you I'm afraid; it stores static pages but won't be much use on database driven dynamic pages, like wot that one will be.

ok, sorry I was in a rush yesterday, sorry about the misleading post... think I've sorted it now.

Thanks
