An Internet Explorer 401 error
An Internet Explorer 405 error

Error while copying a file
An 'incorrect response' error

These are just various errors that I’ve come across recently. I think all of these are excellent examples as to how NOT to show errors (with the exception of the Facebook problem, which isn’t a browser error). The 401 error in IE actually links support personnel to the Microsoft site and tells them to run a search from there! Apparently, linking to the article (or at least the search results) is impossible. What would the average user do with these errors? What would you do?

P.S. I realize this post is pretty ugly. After fighting with WordPress for half an hour, I decided this is good enough and all the more reason for me to get back to work on my own blogging software.
