[QUOTE="Dougmeister, post: 2034234, member: 56842"]I bought coin but the dealer had to come back and tell me that they were sorry but it had already been sold and they forgot to take it off the website. I wanted to save a picture of it. I thought I would have to ask the dealer (awkward) or give up. [ATTACH=full]370516[/ATTACH] Some of you may recall "Google cache" from a few years back. It allowed the user to pull up a "cached" view of a webpage from Google's servers. They took it away a few years ago... or so I thought. Maybe some of you already know this trick... and you have to know the URL (saved from a bookmark, pasted into a document, etc.) So: 1) I took the saved URL: [url]http://www.rustcoin.com/product.php?productid=6105&cat=18&page=1[/url] 2) I added this in *front* of the URL (without the quotes, obviously): "[url]http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache[/url]:" 3) Voila! The page was still in Google's cache so I could see it once again. [ATTACH=full]370517[/ATTACH] Hopefully someone out there finds this useful.
