finding posts from HH - google's cache

Post by starlight » Sun Aug 24, 2008 4:43 pm

hey all.. thought this'd be useful.. if anyone posted anything on HH that they want to retrieve (tutorials for example), it may be possible to get bits and pieces back.. just type as much as you can remember from what you're looking for (name of the thread, or failing that as many words/phrases as you can from it), along with the words 'heavenly hair' into google, and then instead of clicking on the usual link you'd use, look for the one underneath that says 'cached'.. it's google's snapshot of the page, none of the links will work within it but you can view posts :)

for example:

but the server has gone- nothing up at all.

I am no expert but you are surely re directed to the same suspended page?

I take that back- sometimes it works- just had a play :)

Well I tried it just to see, and I got directed to google's saved version of the 3rd page of the Hair Swap from the 5th of August. Obv you cant navigate around the pages, but I got to view the entire 3rd page of the thread.
Might help some people out!

yeah i don't think it'll work for anything really recent, or anything that wasn't viewed a lot..

it only works if you click cache.. I think it's because google takes snapshots of the pages every so often, and stores it.. somewhere... lol I don't really understand it, and might be totally wrong there, but I used it to find the list of everyone who signed up to the charm swap on there :)

it's no guarantee, but if anyone's desperate to find something then it's worth a try :)

i tried that a week ago and all i got from the cached page was a database error. i guess when it got cached it was during an error. i tried just now and got some stuff to come up but nothing useful.
