''The effects of back buttons in irregular places.''

Most [[Strong Bad Emails]] have their "back" button in the bottom left corner of the computer. If the email ends away from the computer, the "back" button is in either the bottom-left or bottom-right corner of the screen. But some Strong Bad Emails have '''special back links'''.

== Appearances ==

* Email [[i she be]] — Although the standard back link is used, when the scene cuts to The Cheat at the computer, the back link changes position to the bottom right of the screen.
* Email [[12:00]] — The back link appears as a display on the clock.
* Email [[gimmicks]] — The back link flickers.
* Email [[property of ones]] — The link appears in a needlepoint design.
* Email [[sb email 22]] — There are two back links: One at the end of the main toon and one at the end of the Easter egg.
* Email [[invisibility]] — Although the standard back link is used, when the scene cuts to the trashed Tandy, it changes position to the bottom right of the screen.
* Email [[action figure]] — Strong Bad's hand blocks the spot where the back link usually appears, so it appears on the right of the Compy's screen. This also happens in [[fingers]].
* Email [[crazy cartoon]] and [[mile]] — The back link appears in [[Powered by The Cheat|Powered by the Cheat]] form.
* Email [[local news]] — The back link appears on the top-left of the [[Action Cool 5]] paper.
* Email [[caffeine]] — The back link appears as a design on Strong Bad's project.
* Email [[video games]] — When the back link first appears, it is white; when the scene cuts to the boxes of the video games, it turns black.
* Email [[flashback]] — The back link appears at the bottom left of the screen instead of the bottom left of the Compy's screen.
* Email [[theme park]] — Since [[The Paper]] comes down twice, the back link appears twice.
* Email [[extra plug]] — There are ''three'' back link oddities in this email: there are two back links, one when The Paper comes down and one when the screen changes from the Compy to the group shot; both back links are in a handwriting style; and the back link on the Compy is visible (but not clickable) in the group shot.
* Email [[part-time job]] — The back link appears on the microwave's button.
* Email [[boring (really)]] — There are two back links, the standard back link, and one that appears during the transition. Although the second back link disappears after the transition, it is still clickable.
* Email [[record book]] — The back link appears as a dialog balloon from [[Count Longardeaux]].
* Email [[4 branches]] — The back link appears as a design on a banner.
* Email [[the movies]] — The ASCII text blocks the spot where the back link usally appears, so it appears a little higher.
* Email [[buried]] — The back link appears in a handwriting style.
* Email [[love poems]] — The back link appears at the bottom-left of the screen instead of the bottom left of the Lappy's screen.
* Email [[magic trick]] — When the back link first appears, it is at the bottom-left of the screen; after the scene with Strong Sad, it appears in the bottom-left of the Lappy's screen.
* Email [[being mean]] — Strong Bad's drawing blocks the spot where the back link usually appears, so it appears at the bottom-left of the screen.
* Email [[email thunder]] — The back link appears in the font used for the emails' names.
* Email [[hremail 3184]] — The back link appears on the table.
