Just noticed an issue with Look Over There!¹ where some of the sites I was forwarding to archive.org began to fail.

I’ve now documented the proper way to redirect to archive.org in Look Over There! and I also wrote a brief post on the relevant Reddit to alert the folks at The Internet Archive about this and suggest an improvement that could benefit findability on sites with redirects in general:

reddit.com/r/theinternetarchiv

¹ e.g., See our instance for Small Technology Foundation at look-over-there.small-web.org

Screenshot of Look Over There!’s admin interface, now showing an information callout with instructions on how to properly foward to The Internet Archive: When forwarding to The Internet Archive, make sure you forward to a specific crawl (ensure the URL has the crawl timestamp in it). If not, the next time it crawls the site, it will find the redirect to itself and your redirect will start to fail. e.g., When forwarding better.fyi: Correct: https://web.archive.org/web/20250418214123/https://better.fyi/ Incorrect: https://web.archive.org/web/https://better.fyi/
