Incorrect link display error, not forward to home
 
Hello,
I want to display an error page when an invalid link is accessed, instead of having it forward to my homepage like it does now.

For example, this is a correct link to a post:
http://www.domain.com/forum/showthread.php?p=113579

When someone goes here (incorrect), I want it to display an error, saying it was invalid, instead of forwarding it to my homepage:
http://www.domain.com/showthread.php?p=113579

How do I do this?

Here is a post from vB I made, and they told me to come over here:

Thanks in advance.

Please post the .htaccess that is in the public_html folder.

Here is the .htaccess from the public_html (I have a Joomla site in public_html). Thanks:
Code:

Any further help on this would be great. People keep going to pages that don't exist and it ends up forwarding to the home, and they don't realize that the home was not the correct place...so I want to display a page saying "the link you entered is invalid or no longer exists".

Thanks.

This forum URL rewriting part is probably giving you grief:
Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(styleid=(.*))$ showthread.php?&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(showthread\.php)$ showthread.php?&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-new.html showthread.php?t=$3&goto=newpost&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-last.html showthread.php?t=$3&goto=lastpost&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-print.html/(.*)$ printthread.php?t=$3&%{QUERY_STRING}&is_vrewrite=yes [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-print.html printthread.php?t=$3&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-nextnewest.html showthread.php?t=$3&goto=nextnewest&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-nextoldest.html showthread.php?t=$3&goto=nextoldest&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Remove it, and place it in a .htaccess file in the forum directory, not in the web root.
