[edit] Name of navigation bar

Is there some particular (canonical) reason we call it the "NavBar" instead of the "Navigation Bar" or "main_nav" (the filename)? — It's dot com 17:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Except for the fact that it's easier to write, I don't see any. seems like it's already spread around the wiki and several users call it that way. I searched left and wide, but the only canonical reference I found was in virus commentary when Mike say "...and there's little words at the bottom." Nothing else. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 17:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, so we're good at using our own term. But is there a good reason we started using it in the first place? — It's dot com 18:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Because it's a common web developer's abbreviation? I see no reason to either keep the current name as is or to make a fuss about it, unless people are truly vexed by this. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  08:57, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Something odd

I just noticed something rather odd. When you use "They Call Him Flipper" on Main Page 23 , everthing works normally, except on "Store", when the second Homestar says "Sup, man?", Homestar doesn't say "Sup" back. His mouth doesn't move or anything. Any ideas why this happens? - Exhibit A (talk · edits) 05:20, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, there were a lot of glitches with this feature. You can check them out on the main April Fool's 2006 page. --DorianGray 05:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Helscome to my Webdsite

Do the websites from website and 2 years belong here, or would that be too much? Bad Bad Guy 23:11, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "podcast" currently not in navbar

--Addict 2006 00:47, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Never mind. I read the article Podstar Runner. --Addict 2006 01:11, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toons Menu

I just went to the old toons menu (tvguide) and it looks the same as the current menu. 69.56.98.237 05:23, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

tvguide.swf IS the current menu. --DorianGray

I think that's the point he is trying to make. To 69.56.98.237: The reason that that menu is listed as a site component is because it has a different name, meaning that it isn't normally accessed on it's own. —Guard Duck ^talk 05:39, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh, oh, I see... When normally accessed through the "Toons" button on the main page, it goes to "toons.html", not "tvguide.html", even though the files there are identical. --DorianGray 05:58, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flipper Needs An Update

They Call Him Flipper's sbemail link goes to the Lappy page, which is not used anymore.

• The website does not normally use the feature. This was just an April Fool's Joke in 2006. That'sBupkis! 19:32, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Navbar change.

Pocast has been changed with suscribe.

[edit] 8-18-08 News

Why is there a separate main page news file for this date? TheThingé 01:49, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

In fact, a good amount of the things listed on the page have no backstory listed as to why they exist. Someone who knows these things should fix that. TheThingé 01:55, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
