"Random node" and "Permission Denied"

[Jenda]

It would be nice if the "Random node" checked the permissions of the random node and generated a new ID if I don't have enough permissions (or the node doesn't exist) instead of printing an error message. It's kinda silly to get a message that you can't access this particular node when all you wanted was to see any node at all :-)

Thanks, Jenda

the "Random node"

Please be specific. Which "random node" feature are you using? I believe I've run into several over the years.

The "Random Node" link in the "Leftovers" nodelet.

Just a note to anyone that cares that this is still the case - The Random Node link in the Leftovers section sent me to 2294, and I got a Permission Denied message.
