Not exactly about the Board per se, but it is about the Straight Dope website.

The latest Weird Earl’s offering, [Turn that frown upside down](http://www.straightdope.com/J.K.%20Fabian), gives me the following:  
404 Page Not Found  
The page you requested was not found.

The Straight Dope website has recently been upgraded, and in the process we changed all of our URLs. We’ve tried to ensure that the old URLs for each article transfer directly to the new ones, but we may have missed a few. If you’re seeing this screen because we missed one, we apologize.

If you’re looking for a specific column and can’t get to it, try searching for a keyword or phrase.

Somebody put the submitter’s handle in the link instead of the actual link.

Okay, now here’s the next Weird Earl’s goof: The new one “You’ve Got (Crazy) Mail,” has been placed under Threadspotting by mistake.
