There's a couple of lingering 404 errors floating around as a result of some images being moved around or deleted that were originally stored on the local server (mostly in users signatures and posts, there's a few improperly formatted [img] tags floating around that are attempting to find images on the local server instead of external servers, etc).

So a lot of it is out of my hands, but it still records the hit on the php 404 page on missing images and vBulletin displays it on the Who's Online. There's always 4 or 5 people who are supposedly viewing a file doesn't exist. I'd rather keep that off the WOL.

On top of that, vBulletin is using the missing file name and not 404 page file name. On the Who's Online it'll say something like:

User1 Unknown Location
/images/1234.png

User2 Unknown Location
/signatures/abcd.png

So I can't simply create a case for 404.php to catch the 404 errors to display a message similar to the one's you suggested.
