screenshots of PF before update

[BirdyBee]

Just for fun

PF 16th April 2021:

(Ok shoot, I should stop because my computer gave me a few warnings.. better go check my files/history for anything sus)

If any of you are brave enough to go and archive some screenshots of PF back in 2005-2010 that'd be really cool, you can share the pics here, I'm just going to stop for the safety of myself and the PC.

I love this idea!

I'm not so advanced and I dunno how to archive. I can just share pictures from Zenek thread where you can see the posts before the forum update:
It's a picture by Aratingettar:

And here by LaManuka:

And I have a video of Zenek writing on the old forum version:

This is such a wonderful trip down memory lane! Thank you for starting this thread, Pipp

Just a note: you may be able to see deleted/edited posts, so please don't share just any post. This site may be able to steal personal info(I got a warning on my PC for adware that may steal some info like passwords etc which is why I stopped using it). My point? Just be careful!

How do you archive? Type in https://web.archive.org/web/ web url

https://www.parrotforums.com/threads/please-welcome-our-3-new-mods.45253/ so some emojis survived the update.

Interesting! I guess your just lucky on the warnings part, or Your PC can't detect anything. I just reccomend not trying to log in on the older versions.

Now I'm looking - it looks like the known-to-me-version not always was exactly like I joined the forum. It's the oldest archived General Parrot Information subforum (2009):

I think it has some kind of error
And it's after I joined (2018):

Random post (2009)

Conures subforum (2018)

Random thread (2018)

Hahaha! Somebody archived Zenek thread!

Unfortunately it has some glitches - no avatar, no video, "Reply" option in the wrong place
And "My Bourkes" also was archived by somebody:

Unfortunately no pictures safed

 

[Rozalka]

Example post in Lilly Pilly's thread:

The RB scrapbook

Congrats Laurasea for winning POTM! What a shame the picture isn't saved

Lol, who archived Banned thread

Subforum which doesn't exist any longer - Galeria was a supporting vendor

 

[StormyPica]

This forum has come such a long way, even from when I joined (2021)!!!

 

[Rozalka]

I don't understand why there are archived sites to which you have to be registered (such as members pages). I'm not even trying to log in there for safety. I wanted to screenshot groups option, which isn't here anymore but it's impossible not being log in.
The user page was looking totally different than now - no massage wall. No following option, instead of it we had "friends" option. Fanfact: you could see who visits your profile

The last update was last year, so probably we need to wait many years
