Random node improvement suggestion

On occasion I like to use the Random Node to find ..well... a random node. However I've found that a number of times the node that is picked is a node I do not have access to. Wouldn't it make sense to check to see if the user will have access first before bringing them to the node?

You could check out my attempt to solve a similiar problem I'd be willing to tweak that code to deal with permission issues.... Update: I just checked, the current code I'm using for randomnode.pl already does filter out 'Permission Denied' nodes... -Blake	[reply]

The same happens on Search/Supersearch too. Maybe this filter could be applicable there too. -- tune	[reply]
