Wow this is amazing!!! I've built my whole site around showcasing wayback content: http://www.StartupTimelines.org/ http://www.StartupTimelines.org/ This definitely makes it a whole lot easier, wish I had access to it from day 1.

Surprising, how few changes some sites have over the years

  My design is 5 years old. I changed a few small things, and while I'd love to make a redesign, I also know that users HATE such changes. Also, a few new users even compliment me on the great design. I guess it isn't that bad ;)

  Sorry about that - this is a known bug we're trying to fix. If you refresh or view incognito it might let you browse after a minute or so. This is no way intentional to try to get you to sign up

    >This is no way intentional to try to get you to sign up Yes, it is. Why else would you put a 3-startup limit for non-registered users, and present them with a registration page? If the script is malfunctioning, turn it off. Maybe if I could actually see the content I would sign up, but since I have to sign up first, I guess I'll do what most others who are visiting your site for the first time are doing: Go away and never come back. Do yourself a favor and get rid of intentional annoyances. You're already funding this thing with donations.

      I think we can take someone at their word when they say: Sorry about that - this is a known bug we're trying to fix. This is no way intentional to try to get you to sign up Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity. (-: I'm sure this bug will be fixed shortly, right bakztfuture?

        Yes - Orik thank you so much for understanding. We're using a library called Flask-limiter, so I'm looking into what could be causing this ... I probably misread the docs somewhere. Startup Timelines was always made to be free and accessible, it didn't even ask you to create an account until last month (been running the site for a year now). I don't want anyone to be upset so I've quickly made an account you can use to browse if you've gotten this rogue error: username: hn_user password: startuptimelines1 (all accounts are full btw) I'm sorry and hope this doesn't ruin your take on the site forever. There's a tour that walks you through the site when you register, so, here are screenshots of the pages: Tour page 1: http://i.imgur.com/5DCwdbg.png http://i.imgur.com/5DCwdbg.png Tour page 2: http://i.imgur.com/o7ghamJ.png http://i.imgur.com/o7ghamJ.png Tour page 3: http://i.imgur.com/iHN775V.png http://i.imgur.com/iHN775V.png let me know if there is anything else I can do guys bakz[at]bakzdesign.com ... sorry and thank you again
