<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>what I think would have been the best solution is
the patch made for the minority of large traffic sites this would be useful for.
In other words, this block-free 404 should be opt-in, not opt-out. The majority
of sites don't have the traffic to justify it. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just my .02</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>as for the timing, I know my 404's had blocks "at
some point" in the past and either my 5.8 or 5.10 update seems to have zapped
them. Who knows....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The blocks have been removed on 404 pages to improve the
performance, but I agree it is annoying on a site which is not receiving lots
of visitors and has no problems with that little bit of performance and a lot
of usability lost. I have seen it before 5.7, there are plenty of people
complaining about it on <A href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</A> if you
search for blocks and 404. There is also a nice patch for d5 which does what
seems the best solution to me: let the admin choose with a checkbox if blocks
should be there or not on 404 pages: <A
