404 error page

Date: July 17, 2002

Thanks to Adrian, a few weeks earlier the AJC had activated a new 404 error page, far more helpful than the one before it. This page asked that visitors e-mail us when they came across internal bad links. I updated the page to (by tracking the referring page as reported by the visitor’s browser) automatically identify the 404 errors caused by internal bad links and give the user a one-click opportunity to report the problem. There’s no link to this page, only a screenshot, because you can only see it if you actually do come across one of the AJC’s dead links. I can’t send you to one from the outside because the referring page would be set wrong for the new feature to activate.
