Main Page Glitches

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Occasionally, the Main Pages can produce some odd glitches by clicking and holding down a button, and then dragging off them. This is due to the limits of the Macromedia Flash software. This is a list of those glitches. In the list below, "&" is used if it doesn't matter which is done first and "→" if they must be done in order.
