    I have mixed feelings about this whole thing. I am staying because I love my community. And starting new somewhere else can be hard. Especially so late in the game on some of these older platforms... With that said if you are like me mourning the loss of old site DA this can be a great way to hall of fame the site in its ultimate perfection. A memory locked in a screen capture.  

    If you want to save your profile intro landing page forever frozen in memory, try screen-capturing the whole page not using the screenshot button but this tool here, you can always uninstall it when done: chrome.google.com/webstore/det… If you want to you can even upload it to way back machine on archive.org/.

Edit: Some stuff was brought up to me by another deviant in the forums I thought I'd pass it along. It would seem there are issues. So when you save it this way, above ^ its not going to show up correctly on Archive.org. You can still do it this way but you will only have the viewable keepsake on your computer the way it was preserved.

"anyway for online is better webrecorder.io

There are more services, 
www.freezepage.com/megalodon.jp/perma.cc/ (it allows only 10 saves per account but is by far the most reliable). or archive.st/, but they are not as useful as archive.org and archive.is"

But I am not sure of these services as I have no experience with them. It looks like if you upload to the wayback machine it still shows core but when I downloaded from archive.org uploaded as a pdf, it came back downloaded the same as I uploaded it as a pdf and the same image below. So Your safe to use it and to upload it here in a scrap as a keepsake or keep it on you pc. 

It's not perfect, by any means but its something. For some reason its jumbling my newest deviations and showing past ones instead of current ones. 



Good luck moving into Eclipse! 

Rest in peace my friend. T.T

Edit: Please be sure to check out the comments section for more helpful tips from other amazing deviants! I have high-lighted anything that could be considered helpful tools for you to capture your keepsake! Have fun and don't forget to show appreciation as support by checking out peoples profiles, art, etc..

Also, as for preserving to oneself, is the main thing here, Vivaldi browser has also a "screenshot" save feature, as well as many add-ons. What I have commented is only for preservation online, but sometimes a "full screenshot" is way better.
