Help, how do a view a webpage before it was amended?

I know there is a way to view a site, or webpage, as it was in the past... say a few days ago, I can't rememeber where or how I did it though.

Any ideas?

Thanks

or search for it on google and see if it has a "cached" version

Marty the way back machine takes a good 6 months to appear. But it is a great tool. I'd suggest searching the URL of the website on google, then hitting the 'Cached' button.

The back machine was the one I'd used in the past, I recognised it, as soon as I saw it. The page I wanted was was very recent, so it didn't work, but I'm pleased to know where to look for anything in the future. Thanks Marty.

I eventually got the page through google cache. It took a while, to get it, at first I could only get the front page of the site, then I managed to get the page I wanted by with so much highlighted text, it was hard to read the bit I wanted!! I eventually worked the search words down enough so it didn't highlight the words I wanted, but still came up on the search. lol, I'm sure there would have been an easier way, but I got there, thanks, your help was much appreciated!
