Beamalarm tech info and Foretravel info has been removed. Anyone know where it has been moved to?

I just checked Barry and Darlene Brideau's Personal Website and it appears to still be there. Looks like some FOT info is being incorporated into the site.

Beamalarm is being taken over by MOT. At least that was what we were told last October at the Grandvention. They said they were going to incorporate in their MOT web site and were working on changing it. So that may be were some of the problem is.

Yes. That is what MOT told us at the last Grandvention.

No idea where it stands now, but at that time MOT was hoping to take FOTs place as a partner with the Motorcade Club. Last I heard, FOT might be getting more involved and supportive again, MOT less so.

Stay tuned. This Fall's Grandvention should be interesting.

I expected that to happen once someone else took over.
Hopefully all will be restored better than ever. 🤔

Does that include the ability to print the articles?

Several years ago, it was easy to accomplish. The last several years, I have not been able to print the articles.

Is there a secret process to allow us to print articles for our personal use?

Barry long ago removed ability to copy or print. Screen print is probably the best way to capture what you are looking at.

I loaded BeamAlarm on my desk top 10 years ago and on this IPhone 2 years ago and can still go there the same now as then. I see no difference. Don't know the difference yet.

I was wrong about printing, as I see it is easy to print and article. I even noticed with Chrome print preview, but before printing, I can select and copy editable text. So everything is copy-able.

On any Mac, you can capture anything on the screen including photos, text, etc. The images cannot be protected so once you capture them, you can print, annotate, etc. Command-Shift-4 does the trick. Here is the site explaining how to do it plus a couple more capture ideas. Macs include Preview in the apps so after you capture, clicking on the image opens it in Preview where you can do anything you want, covert to JPEG, TIFF, PDF, etc along with changing the size if too large to upload to the forum for example.

All you have to do to be able to manipulate the data on the beam alarm website is to disable JavaScript. When you do that you'll be able to cut and paste or copy and paste anyway to a word processing app and then print from there. as far as printing from the screen I guess you could do that, I never tried it but I'm not sure why you would want to. But if you disable JavaScript you could copy what you want from that particular article that applies to you, paste it to let's say word document, and then print it or save it.
I don't know about internet explorer because I don't use that but in chrome just go into settings and I think it's in advanced settings. Disable it and then you're free to use the site. I always found it kind of annoying that I couldn't copy what was on there although I understand why he set it up that way.

Roam Journey, Thanks very much for the Javascript disable idea to copy from BeamAlarm.

Pretty much all the info on that site was content scraped from other websites or this forum, so you can find it elsewhere and more readily usable/printable if you search here or a little further out there on the web.
