*If you got a 404 error while in a different directory from the root directory (e.g. [[HR:stinkogame/|www.homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/]]), the Flash files for 404'd and the navigation bar would not load. This was due to [[Wikipedia:Hyperlink|relative linking]]. That means, since the 404 page called on the file "404error.swf", the page would look for "404error.swf" in ''that'' folder, and since the files don't exist in that folder, it would not load. Since the page is using just the file name, it is assumed that the file is in the same folder as the page linking to it. An easy solution to this is pointing the error's Flash file [[Wikipedia:URL|URL]] to "<nowiki>http://www.homestarrunner.com/404error.swf</nowiki>", and the navigation bar to "<nowiki>http://www.homestarrunner.com/main_nav.swf</nowiki>" instead of plainly "404error.swf" and "main_nav.swf", respectively. | *If you got a 404 error while in a different directory from the root directory (e.g. [[HR:stinkogame/|www.homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/]]), the Flash files for 404'd and the navigation bar would not load.
