Post subject:  The mysterious disappearing Rando - and Navbar too!

File not found

Firefox can't find the file at /rando.swf.

*Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
*Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

Right now, May 26, at 2:34 AM EST, rando.swf DOES NOT EXIST on the Homestar Runner website. They probably have it down for maintenence or something, but it might be worth noting its sudden disappearance somewhere. This means that clicking on the random toon button on any main page currently does absolutely nothing,.

It seems that the navbar has disappeared, as well. Odd. It'll probably be back soon, but why take it off to begin with?

(copying my response from your post on the wiki, for people that would only see this and get confused)
That message you got is the builtin Firefox one... it's what you'd get if you typed just /rando.swf into the Address bar instead of the full http://www.homestarrunner.com/rando.swf.

Well, oddly enough, I typed the full thing. It's fixed, now, but I refreshed and retyped about 35 times before that happened. Who knows?

As to your point, typing just /rando.swf gets:

"Firefox can't find the server at http://www.rando.swf.

And, besides that, like I said, there was no working random toon button on the main pages, nor was there a navbar. Doesn't matter anymore, since it's fixed, but I thought it was an interesting occurence, to say the least.
