Problems archiving imdb pages
1. This has been happening since Aug 7 2026. Whenever I try to save an imdb page on archive.ph, it just loads for a very long time then says "Not Found (yet?)" Haven't been able to archive anything since Aug 6, don't know if the problem is on archive.ph's end or imdb's end.
2. When I try to save imdb pages on wayback machine, it usually doesn't save correctly. It will say it saved but if I actually go to the archived page, it usually saves two different pages, one is just a blank white page, and the other is just a message saying "403 forbidden"
Sometimes it actually works and saves the page, but more often than not it doesn't. This has been happening for several months (since at least late 2025.) I don't know if the problem here is on my end, imdb's end or wayback machine's end.
Is this happening to anyone else? And, if the problem is on imdb's end are these ever going to be fixed? (again not sure if it's on their end or the archive's end) Thanks.

Hi, randomperson999999:
Yes, it's been happening to me too for the past few days on the Wayback Machine. It can only store about 7–8 web elements from each page (which, in practice, just results in a blank page that constantly reloads every time you try to access it), instead of the more than 100 web elements normally included on any standard IMDb page.
