Hey guys, please check this post: https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/m...k-from-m3forum
Comprehensive SMG-6MT page, S54 VANOS thread, etc are still there, have to do some work to repost/reformat it with pics, but old threads are there. I'm assuming admins are also trying to run scripts to get some of this ported over via webarchives.Youtube DIYs and more

Good thinking. I wish I'd copied mine over the years. I did have photobucket pics though, so they were less useful.Originally posted by bimmerfan08 View PostI ended up saving my DIYs and converting them to PDFs as a form of risk mitigation. The old site had a tendency to be down often, which made me leery. Not to mention the photo hosting sites are unreliable as well. I'll share them here soon.RIP M3F2002 M3 - 2002 325iT - 1994 Bronco

I was just checking that, looks like none of the threads I wanted are archived. I don't have the exact addresses bookmarked either, just subscribed in M3F.Originally posted by mrgizmo04 View Post

Like I've mentioned on the e46fanatics thread, allowing an archived PDF file of the original thread would be amazing. Imagine also being able to archive each post if requested by the user, however, the original (first) post would be archived (pdf file) automatically. Preserving content, text format (copy/paste) and pictures in the pdf file.Originally posted by bimmerfan08 View PostI ended up saving my DIYs and converting them to PDFs as a form of risk mitigation.

I don't know, maybe I'll write the plugin if enough people also think it would benefit the forums. Let me know.2002 M3 | 1986 R80 | 2001 EuroVan
