I know you can edit the Error Page a User views when he tries to access a restricted feature. But is there a way you can show a specific page for specific error. What I'd like to do is create an error page for a particular forum.

Another thing I was hoping to do, was maybe redirect a user to a particular page. Maybe even force the user to review an FAQ page first.

The reason I want to do this, is I have a permission based forum with very specific guidelines for posting. I'm needing to make users join the public group before they can post there, but I need to force them to review the FAQ on that section first and foremost. Stickies and Announcements don't seem to be doing the job. Any info is appreciated.

The way that the errors work, it would be hard to do what you want, except by a javascript redirect in the message text.

Ah, thanks. I think I understand. I was under the impression, though, that javascript could only be added to the header template. What would I need to do to conceal it in the message text?

You shouldn't need to do anything special. The browser should recognize the <script> tag anywhere in the page.
