| Not great google This actually pisses me off that I ended up spending time designing a nice 404 error page for my site visitors to get them back on the right track. As far as I am concerned, Google is performing a man in the middle attack on my website trying to deliver a 404 error page.

| Thats exactly how I feel. I had made a really nice 404 page for my site.
Well I'll fix google, I'm putting in a .htaccess that puts users back to the home page with the 404 code on any link that doesn't work,  |

Maineville, OH | And that's exactly what a responsible web developer should do. I applaud you for not whining about it, but taking action that resolves the issue. Heck, put them to a page that returns a 200, but still says that their content was unavailable.
Simple NON-problems require simple solutions. |

| For the code challenged webmasters out there, here is a sample of the .htaccess code that will definitely bypass the new Google toolbar 404 redirection hijack. I just installed the Google beta toolbar in question, and on my web sites and others that do similar internal 404 redirection (including dslreports.com) the new Google toolbar had no effect.
ErrorDocument 401 /noaccess.html
ErrorDocument 403 /noaccess.html
ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.html
