Which way is up again?

On April Fool's Day 2006, The Brothers Chaps changed the site so that every toon was upside down.

Fun Facts

Remarks

• The following pages / sites are exempt from the flipping because they are hosted separately from the main H*R content:
  • Strong Bad's Website
  • Store
  • Strong Sad's Lament
  • Stinkoman 20X6 and other games that appear in pop-up browser windows
• Seek bars do not work with the flipped toons.

Glitches

• Any time that a second Flash file is overlayed on the first (like the "What's New" button on the main page) it is not flipped.
• Many of the rollover button effects on the Main Pages do not work.
• Several toons that are not the usual 550x400 resolution are not centred properly:
  • virus
  • Not the 100th Email!!!
  • Interestingly, flashback and Main Page 22 are both correct.
• Some pages have invisible or missing text:
  • Under Construction
  • Legal
  • Strong Bad Email menu
    • None of the email buttons load
• The Eject button on the Characters page (which normally makes Homsar's video come out of the VCR) does not work.
• The video clips in HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS! repeat themselves automatically.
• The rando link on the navbar does not work.
• The Strong Bad Email list does not appear, and the "random.bat" does not work.
  • Additionally, the ripples on the Lappy 486 appear and disappear much faster than normal, and do not stay if the mouse button is held down.
• TROGDOR! doesn't load up properly, and has a gray square all over the screen.
