[support] Suddenly, my 404 page is stripped of all its blocks, menu, etc

[Neil: esl-lounge.com]

Thanks Hans, 

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. 

Just my .02

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....

  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 drupal.org 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: http://drupal.org/node/116895.
