A lot of links are archive.is which doesn't load for my region. I have to use archive.ph. If you replace .is, .li, .fo, .ph, .vn or .md with .today the link will automatically redirect to the correct site for anyone that clicks on it. Or, now that you know, you can be a retard and continue posting links that only half the board can read.

archive.today - is a gateway that redirects to one of the final destinations (.is, .li, .fo, .ph, .vn and .md) based on load and availability. It provides archive.today flexibility to dynamically redirect traffic to other domains/servers.

Get a browser extension like Redirector

Set it up to convert archive.* links to archive.today

That way you will be able to open archive links just by clicking on them (regardless of the TLD)

If I type in archive.today in the url, I immediately get redirected to the archive.ph page where I would enter the url of the page to be archived.

I started using the Wayback Machine - web.archive.org/ ... a couple of months ago and find that it works great, has no queue, is much faster than archive.ph, et al. Do you have any problems loading web.archive.org archived pages?

You don't understand, you do as usual, but when you do your link copy pasta on poal, you replace .is by .today and that's it

That's how it is supposed to work. When you post the link to Poal you would replace archive.ph/wHatEver with archive.today/wHatEver. And anyone who clicks on that link would get redirected to the proper link (.is, .ph, md, etc...), based on server load and the users region.

I understand now. Thanks. I prefer web.archive.org, great uptime, much faster processing and doesn't require this extra step to edit the end url.

I prefer web.archive.org

Same

and doesn't require this extra step to edit the end url.

I hate extra steps when making posts. I will solve this tomorrow because I also hate extra steps to view posts.

I have archive.today as the bookmarked page and it picks from two or three of the redirects. Usually .ph or .is for me.

Usually .ph or .is for me.

I get .ph or .md, .is never loads for me

Use the normal site to archive and the replace archive.ph/wHatEver with archive.today/wHatEver when you share it on Poal. It will redirect users to the correct domain.

OK, now I see the point. Got it!

Or, the simple solution, is to do it the way lurker17 and quite a few others do. Post a link to the unarchived site and then in the body of the post put the archive link. Or the other way around, it doesn't matter. Just put both links. It's pretty simple.

I already do that as well. But that doesn't solve it. I would rather use the archive link than the source link. And if you have time to post two link you would have time to replace .is, .ph, etc. with .today.
