While I'm on the computer board…. Is there an officially accepted method in the UK of recording what a website says at a certain time? A (non-gaming) company I have dealings with has misrepresented themselves on their site. However I know the site is shortly going to change and want to capture, in an acceptable-in-court sort of way, what it says right now. Ta! |

I don't know the legal ramifications, but I do know that Adobe writer will capture web pages. That should suffice as proof of what was on the site. John |

What you should do: Print out a hard copy Take a photo of the screen Use Grab and take a screenshot Go to File, then Save As. Select the WEB ARCHIVE option and hit save. Print the offending page to a pdf Doing all of the above will ensure you have enough evidence. Note: above instructions given assuming one is like me – using Safari on a Mac. Phil |

Also, checkout wget: gnu.org/software/wget This can be used to pull down a complete, working copy of a website at any given time. But do all of what Hordes says above to cover all your bases. |

Document, in hard copy, all that was done, when by whom, on which computer, using which software. Make sure that the URL, the numerical IP address for the site and as much other site information is included. Then provide your Lawyer with a copy, and get a dated receipt from him for the transfer. |

All good advice, thanks. I'm kinda hoping that phoning them and saying "gotcha" will produce a rapid attitude adjustment… |

And maybe the internet archive Wayback Machine can help you if they change the page before you get around to doing your screen capture shots, save as PDF etc.
