Describe the bug

Attempting to "Re-Snapshot" (or Archive again as it's been renamed to) pre 0.8.3-rc archive results, returns the following errors:

Server Error (500)

Error occurred while loading the page: object of type 'int' has no len() <QueryDict: {}> <QueryDict: {'csrfmiddlewaretoken': ['1234567890'], 'action': ['resnapshot_snapshot'], 'select_across': ['0'], 'index': ['0'], '_selected_action': ['0191b7ef-9242-029c-2289-8e00703ab333']}>

It also seems to then launch chromium or related browser processes, but they seem to get stuck in some kind of crazy loop, using over 100% CPU resources per process.

Steps to reproduce

Run Archivebox 0.8.3-rc
Find a snapshot that was taken before the 0.8.3 migration
Select "Archive again"
Record output error messages.

Oh woah that's a major bug, not sure why I didn't hit it in tests. Thanks for helping beta test, I'll look into this immediately.

In the meantime I've removed the install instructions for the beta release until this is sorted out.
