Editing April Fools' 2006

[[Image:Intro decision page flipped.png|thumb|Which way is up again?]]
On '''[[Wikipedia:April Fool's Day|April Fool's Day]] 2006''', [[The Brothers Chaps]] flipped the site 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 or are not Flash files:
**[[Strong Bad's Website]]
**[[Store]]
**[[Legal]]
**[[Strong Sad's Lament]]
**[[Stinkoman 20X6]]
***Note that if a HTML file is put together to try to do this, the "[[Stinkoman 20X6 Trivia#General|no Flash 7]]" warning appears.
**[[Podstar Runner]]
**[[Store Thank You Messages]]
**All the stuff in [[Museum]].
<!-- CLEAR YOUR CACHE AND CHECK AGAIN BEFORE ADDING TO THIS LIST -->
*Seek bars do not work with the flipped toons.
*Amusingly, this makes [[Homsar]]'s character page right-side up.

===Glitches===
*Several toons that are not the usual 550x400 resolution are not centered properly:
**[[virus]]
***This email also suffers from its custom navbar missing, so Homestar pulls his words from nowhere.
**[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]
**[[Handheld Games Menu]]
**[[flashback]] and [[Main Page 22]] are both correct, as they use their own flipper swf files, which handle the different size.
*Some pages have invisible or missing text:
**[[Under Construction]]
**[[Main Page 18]] (No HTML text in the "Store" effect.)
*In [[highschool]], the "m." on Young Strong Mad's shirt is missing.
*[[TROGDOR!]] doesn't load up properly - the game itself takes up only the bottom right quarter of the usual frame, and the rest is filled in with gray.
*Many buttons and other scripts on some of the site do not work, as they use the <code>_root</code> property in ActionScript to access the main scene of the Flash file. However, with the flipper file loading the main scene, <code>_root</code> actually referrs to the ''flipper'', not the scene itself. The Brothers Chaps could have gotten around this by using the <code>[http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00001522.html _lockroot]</code> property in the flipper, but it seems they didn't know about it.
**The Eject button on the [[Character Videos | Characters page]] (which normally makes Homsar's video come out of the VCR) does nothing.
**[[Edgar#Edgar's Baby's Daddy|Edgar's Baby's Daddy]] on [[candy product]] does not appear. Neither does the [[Old-Timey]] Easter egg in [[little animal]].
**The video clips in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] repeat themselves automatically.
**The [[Random Toon|rando]] link on the navbar does not work.
**[[The King of Town DVD]], [[King of Town Main Page]] and anything linked from there loop at the end instead of stopping.   
***Additionally, [[Revenge of the King]] seems to have a similar fate to TROGDOR! (with the broken screen), except you can not hurt The King of Town, nor does he shoot at you. The timer also doesn't work
**On the [[Decemberween Email Menu]], none of the Easter eggs work.
**The buttons on [[Downloads]] don't work.
**The [[Telebision Toons Menu]] does not work.
**On any [[Strong Bad Email]]s featuring the [[Tandy 400]] or the [[Compy 386]], the contrast buttons don't work. This includes the Easter eggs in [[gimmicks]]. The ripples on the [[Lappy 486]] appear and disappear much faster than normal, and do not stay if the mouse button is held down.
**In any of the [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]] Games, none of them work right. There is no possble way to score on any of them.
**In [[First Time Here?]], the number of takes never changes.
**The [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]]s never load.
**The number of messages on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]] never changes.
*In [[Peasant's Quest]], Trogdor's voice doesn't work.
**When the [[Kerrek]] is encountered, his tune does not play.
**Trying to kill [[Poor Gary]] proves unsuccesful.
*It seems that the text in the Quote of the Week isn't bold, like before the 'flip'.
*Nothing in the [[Handheld Games Menu]] (except for [[Homestar Quiz]]), including itself, is fully playable.
**None of the buttons in the actual menu work (except for "new games").
**None of the buttons in [[Dancin' Bubs]] work.
**[[Homestar Talker]] does not lay out stars for each correct word, and never progresses to the Strong Bad Talker.
**Nothing but the bongos in [[Audition With Marzipan]] are playable.
**[[Bronco Trolleys]] is broken; you can click the "Play" button, but the timer doesn't work and the ingredients are missing.
**Neither the text boxes nor the finished libs work in [[Strong Libs]].
**[[Hairstyle Runner]] is playable, but many things are not visible because the top frame is off-center.
**The fortune cookies in [[Fortune Cookies]] do not work.
**The [[Spin and Say]] does not spin.
**The buttons on the [[Astro Lite]] don't work.
*Although the [[Main Pages]] rollover effects were mostly fixed, some issues remain:
**[[Main Page 3]]: Homestar isn't knocked back by the coconut for "Email".
**[[Main Page 8]]: The screen keeps moving on "Characters".
**[[Main Page 10]]: [[The Homestar Runner]]'s body doesn't expand when the bomb explodes after "Downloads".
**[[Main Page 16]]: The entire menu still doesn't work properly. In fact, two versions of the copyright notice appear at the "top" of the screen, and the trees in the background are light blue.
**[[Main Page 18]]: On "Games", [[Sherlock]] does not mumble to himself. On "Store", the background "opens" and "closes" faster than usual, with no sound effects and no HTML behind it.
**[[Main Page 22]]: The "What's New", "Weeklies", and "Main Pages" buttons appear in their normal positions and orientations, and the [[Peasant's Quest]] does not come in from the side.
**[[Main Page 23]]: Homestar doesn't move his lips for "Toons" and doesn't reply with "'Sup" for "Store". Also, the "What's New" and "Weeklies" are missing.
**[[Homsar Main Page]]: None of the effects work, except a few bubbles appearing on "Toons".
**[[Awexome Cross 98]]: When you lose all your lives, the game freezes and you see [[The Cheat]] spinning in the tire, but the background stays still.
*The Storyboards and Deleted Scenes in "In Search of The Yellow Dello" do not work.
*When the pages were fixed early on the morning of April 2nd, the Main Page Navigation Bar fix was not initially repaired, leaving the main page right-side up, but the News button and Main Page numbers flipped.

===Fixed Glitches===
* Originally, the "What's new" button on the main pages did not appear in the correct location and was right-side up. This was fixed shortly after the "feature's" release.
* The [[Strong Bad Email]] menu originally did not list any emails. This was also fixed.
* The Weeklies popups originally appeared right-side up, but were later fixed so that they would appear flipped like the rest of the site.
*Many of the rollover button effects on the Main Pages don't work. In most cases, the speaker simply says the name of the button that is hovered over (without moving his lips) and no visual effects or other sounds occur. This was later fixed.
* In the [[Main Page 22]] the word "games" was not there. This was fixed later in the day.

===Real-World References===
*The Flash file that causes the pages to be flipped contains the phrase "They call him Flipper", which is one of the lyrics to the [[Wikipedia:Flipper (1964 television)|Flipper]] theme song.
