Just a quick suggestion.
Maybe the random node should be checked to see if you have access to it before it is displayed.

    The default random-node code could use some tweaking... To that end, I created a bit of a workaround that you might be interested in at: Random NonHome Nodes

    Not only will it prevent you from landing on a "Permission Denied, Tough Beans" page, it allows you to selectively weed out sections you aren't interested in. It even avoids the a large number of the empty homenodes for you.

    Personally, I'd love to see a "Random Thread."

      Here you go: Take me to a Random Thread.

      (well, really "random thread or Level-5-or-higher-homenode")

        Excellent!

        Now if I can just figure out how to get that on my Personal Nodelet...

        ;-)
