I really did read this thread, really I did (I think, the brain is going quickly)

Is there a time frame on this?  I'm having a hand pain problem and I'm only 350 pictures into the CITH thread .  I thought if I took a break, but I'm thinking I need to take a LONGER break    I should be able to get them all saved no later than tomorrow - is that okay? 

and thanks for the nice welcome all!!!

Thank you so much for jumping in to help! Our webmaster said he should be able to keep this site open long enough to get what we wanted saved. I don't think it will be weeks or anything like that but we should have several days at least.

[suereu]

  thanks!!  I'll keep on right clicking and saving (I do that quite well) and should be done tomorrow and can then help with something else!!

I finished saving most of the current CM thread 33...we keep adding pages to it...ahem... ...I've saved page 1 to about 26 or 27...I'll have to look again.  I'd like to know what needs to be saved next...happy to continue to help in whatever way I can...

I'm still working, but wanted to give this update so we will not be copying the same pages. I am about to start on Page 66

EDIT - (Noon) Page 66 is copied - things are going slower today because the year has to be added. Michelle - can you ask the current News Team to please start putting the Year as well as the date?

JOHANNA, has anybody saved the Pet Thread???

I don't believe so, Thea. You are welcome to do so!

[suereu]

Fountaindawg - Joyful Noise 2007 is done  FINALLY!

I'll go ahead and work on JNaT 2006.  I'm hoping we don't run out of time before all these photos are saved, JNaT has under 1,000 photos but both JNT05 and SRHP have in excess of 1,000.  Hopefully we have a few more days to work on this

[cl4clay]

Has anyone copied the recipes?  Also, Michael - can we move to our temporary site when we can no longer use this site?

[Marilyn]

I am saving the threads to a word document. Cannot save as a link once the site goes down. I put my cursor on the first post and just scroll down by highlighting.
In this way I save the threads exactly as they are-then we can post the individual posts back when the new site is up.
Frankie, wouldnt it be easier to save the ANN this way for you?

[Marilyn]

I am saving ALL the concert threads, including the meet and greets, so I hope no one is duplicating that. I am going home now so I will work on it when I get there.

[fhmmany2]

Marilyn - Lindsay's method is much faster, and also saves the threads exactly as they are - photos, emoticons, etc. Her method will not work on a long thread, such as the Magazine Thread (I found this out yesterday) because you do have to save each page separately. It works well for the ANN, since the great majority are only one page long. For 2 page days, I save the pages separately - just add a #2 after the date for the second day. I am, sadly, not saving second pages of the ANN if they contain only conversation (which I would love to save). I'm only saing pages with Clay News - there is just not enough time to save everything. I would still like to save the Magazine Thread if possible - I may work on that when I am taking a break from the ANN. I just hope, after all of this work, that threads will transfer properly to the new site  I am worried. I di exactly as you are doing the first day - scrolled down, highlighted, copied, and saved to Word - that worked well, but took a lot of time! Are you able to get it to copy more than one page at a time? If so, please tell me how.

UPDATE: Have copied Page 65 and half of Page 64 of the ANN - stopped when I copied December 31, 2004. I'm going to take a short break and will get back to work later.........

Words cannot express how lucky we are to have so many of you putting in so many hours to save our posts, pictures, and memories from an entire website! 

Special thanks to Fountaindawg and Suereu for coming aboard, rolling up their sleeves and helping us! 

Clay Aiken certainly attracts some very kind and caring fans!

WOW!!!

Thank you all so very much! This is incredible the amount that has been saved. I'm going to create a thread with a list of everything that has been saved so there are no duplicates. I will keep it locked. Keep posting what you finish here and I will carry it over there. That way it will be one quick list you can look at.

Thank you all again.



SAVED LIST

[fhmmany2]

Since my last post, I have given both of the dogs a bath  , and have copied Page 63 of the ANN - which got us through January 31, 2005. Hope to get a little more done tonight.

Michelle - the list will be very helpful - I keep trying to bring the ANN information forward, but I would also like to know what else is being saved.

[fhmmany2]

Michelle - just read the list. I've saved Pages 63-80 of the ANN - Everything from Octobber 28, 2003 through January 31, 2005, plus the extra pages I listed to get the first posts of News Team Members.
