Internet Archive Wayback Machine banner missing from captures of redesigned MacRumors Forums

It appears that since the 2015-05-31 redesign, captures are without the customary banner.

Before: http://web.archive.org/web/20150214164525/http://forums.macrumors.com/

After: http://web.archive.org/web/20150608015616/http://forums.macrumors.com/

Unless I'm missing something, http://archive.org/about/faqs.php#The_Wayback_Machine offers no explanation for nonappearance of the banner. Someone at MacRumors might like to contact the Internet Archive.

 

The problem is unrelated to logged in appearances.

The Internet Archive Wayback Machine banner is missing; follow the first of the links in the opening post, you'll see that banner.

In the screenshot below, the archive nature of one of the windows can be told only by reading and interpreting the full URL. Safari in Yosemite defaults to not showing that detail, and even when the detail is shown: we can't assume that viewers will interpret that detail.

The customary banner is appropriate.

 

I have never seen the problem with any other site, only MacRumors Forums.

If I contact Internet Archive, they might request technical information about the services the combine for MacRumors Forums; I'll be unable to answer in any detail.

 

Can you provide shots? Thanks. I have no access to a Mac at the moment, but the problem is observable with Firefox and with WebKit-based GNOME Web.

 

Chromium 46.0.2490.80 (64-bit), with the problem observable:

 

I doubt that there's a problem with my network; here's a Chromium view of the banner (taken seconds before the shot in my earlier post):



I addressed a question to Internet Archive: https://twitter.com/grahamperrin/status/665954260467740673

 

I didn't receive a reply to the tweet, but today I realised that the problem no longer occurs.

http://web.archive.org/web/20151115...tures-of-redesigned-macrumors-forums.1937989/ for example, appears as it should – with the Wayback Machine banner at the head of the page. Hundreds of thousands more at http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/* and I guess that banner will be displayed for any page that has been captured.

 

Sorry about that. It's the nature of some areas of the Wayback Machine, you could make an improvement suggestion. Pagination, maybe.

Postscript

Now I see the problem in Firefox. Accept the invitation to stop a script, then Command-W should close the window. The app might not respond immediately, but (at least for me) it does respond.
