Hi guys, I just found out that my army was in white dwarf daily or what's new today back early 2013 (I was the last to hear about it apparently). I am wondering if I can still access this. I would really like to see the little article. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it!

/beg and hopes.

Probably not, they relaunched the website a couple months ago and deleted a lot of old content. Your best bet would be to contact GW directly.

Some said they had cashed the website or something and was able to look at some things..mike he save his CPU tonic or something had access to old faqs

Maybe check the internet archive?

How do I do this? I have never even heard of that.

https://archive.org/

It helps to have a target URL - though to some extent, you can stumble around blindly starting at the root directory (http://www.games-workshop.com/).

One of the issues with the previous version of the site was the way the dynamic URLs were written - they didn't allow the Archive's spider to crawl very well. Pages that were linked to from other sites often were archived - but it was not able to build a normal cached version since spiders don't make selections from drop down menus very well.

I went to that archive site you listed and typed in the GW You linked and it returned nothing so I think I must have missed a step or something. It's just loads a blank white screen.

Here's the direct link. You have to put it in the wayback machine, not the search. The resulting page should give you a calendar with snapshot choices.

Ok were getting somewhere now. Thank you for the direct link. I can get a double headed eagle loaded up on march 2013 stuff. Is that as far as it goes or is it my iPad blocking me going further? Thank you for you time in helping me.

I don't know, the wayback machine can only do so much. If the GW site used a lot of javascript to load content dynamically then it depends on how sophisticated their (wayback machine) webcrawler is. Try i on a PC and not an mobile device, that could work better if the browsers are different.
