Thanks. I see now that there is a history button. How long has that been the case?
Not sure. I've only known about the site for half a year or so.
I know that when you try to archive a site that is already on there, it just serves up the old version. I don't even know how you would create different versions.
Huh... I didn't realize that. I'm actually not sure how you would get it to take a new capture.
From what I recall, at the time that it detects that it already has an archive copy of the page you're requesting, it will tell you that it has an existing archive and ask you if you want to see that one or create a new one. They may also show the date and timestamp of the existing archive. This is all from memory and it's been at least a few weeks since I saw it, so my description may not be entirely accurate.
