URL links to materials posted in blogs, news articles and video sharing sites like YouTube are almost all temporary. The vast majority get deleted over time. When you find something extraordinary and post just the link, don't think it will be there permanently. Content often gets deleted due to content violation (ergo, nudity), or the news source simply replaces it with more current stories. BUT, if you archive it on your hard drive or in the cloud, we all benefit!
So our CFNM Village needs its citizens to help.
Capturing Screen ImagesScreen images are the easiest to keep. If it is a news story, you can copy the computer screen by using the "PrtScn" (print screen) key. Open up any photo editor like Photoshop or MS Paint, open up a new image and use the paste function. Voila! Your computer screen is now an image that can be manipulated.
Hint -> If the image or text is too small for clarity, use the Ctrl + keys while it is showing in your browser and it will enlarge. It may take overlaying several enlarged screen captures done sequentially and overlaying/fitting each to the others in your photo editor in piecemeal fashion, but the end result will be a much higher resolution image than what your screen normally produces at its standard size. The following is an example of a news article that was deleted from a news source, but, was successfully archived for posting on this forum. I used 4 separate screen captures of an enlarged screen. You can see the resulting higher quality resolution:
Capturing Browser-Embedded ImagesOften times, you'll find that simply right-clicking on an image will not let you save it. Websites such as Flickr and others often have copyright protection coding that disallows right-clicking and saving. There are some options to get around this. I use Mozilla Firefox to get a clear image as is stored on the hosting site's image folder as opposed to an image capture using PrnScrn. The process is as follows:
1. Right click near the image. You'll get this menu:

Click on "View Page Info"
2. You'll then get the following menu. Click on "Media"

On the Media page, you'll see a field with all of the web page's images. As you scroll down from image to image, they will pop up in "Media Preview" window. When the image you want comes up, click "Save As", and you can then save the original image in its original resolution to your hard drive.
Capturing Screen VideosFree video capturing: There are some freeware video apps and plugins that allow you to do this. I do not have the information for Macs (and if you do, please post!), but with a PC, if you are using Mozilla Firefox you can download Video DownloadHelper. You can often capture video and download it to your hard drive from, say, YouTube.
Freeware apps - VLC is a free video player. The following YouTube video is a tutorial on how to capture videos from your screen:
https://youtu.be/uhsr7CR1eEIThere are some that advertise "free" video capturing programs; however, they have limits such as a) a trial period, b) their watermark is smack dab in the center of the captured video, and c) they limit the time span of capturing to, say, 20 seconds or something. To get the full program, you still have to pay for it.
Paid video capturing software: There are a number of utility apps that allow you to set up a space on your screen to capture video. I've used the following:
Snagit Video Capturing
Debut Video Capturing
