"Profile not available for view" pops up as the default error page for everything. Where do I change the error page redirect? I would like something less confusing for my members (a little disconcerting to be looking for something on the forum and suddenly *poof* you're told you're not finding a profile!) and something that I can control the error message given (I'd like to link them back into the site itself w/ a clever little message).
Anyone have any clues on where I should look to find the code to change the error message redirects from "Profile not available for view" to somewhere/something else?

I actually found a solution. I'll share it here in case someone else has the same issue. I was creating a new error page manually (mywebsite.com/page/Error) which prompted the actual error page to appear finally! But only for some redirects.
Everything else still redirects to the "Profile not available for view" message. So I just went into the Language Keys, found _Profile NA (System), and entered new text that says "Page was not found" to match the other default error message (which is Language Key _sys_request_page_not_found_cpt (System)). The boxFirstHeader still says "View Profile" on the majority of the error msgs, whether they are profile redirects or not, but at least the larger message is more generic.

This is still bugging me even though I fixed the lang key on it. The header bar still says "Member Profile" and the page block header still says "View Profile" - I have members asking me why they're ending up at a profile when they were looking for other things.
It's not limited to my site, you can also see it on www.boonex.us when you mistype a url. For example, check out www.boonex.us/a;lkdsfj;a ... "Profile not available for view." Now if I understand the logic here...
Which makes sense (in a Dolphin-alternate-universe-kinda way) except that if the basic user of my site doesn't speak Boonex they type in things like www.boonex.us/forum trying to get to the forum. And end up on a profile page.
A relatively minor annoyance, as they go, but one I'd like to fix. So: Is there a way to have a different error page when a url is mistyped?

m - mean that dolphin must find any methods in modules section
page - mean that dolphin show us some custom builder page!

Yep. Now how to keep it from assuming a profile by default in the 3rd instance? |

- A page formatted like this: www.boonex.us/m/mistypedword will return a module error b/c the system sees /m/ and assumes a module error.
- A page formatted like this: www.boonex.us/page/mistypedword will return a page error b/c the system sees/page/ and assumes a page error. So far so good.
- And a page formatted like this: www.boonex.us/mistypedword returns a profile error b/c the system sees the formatting and assumes a profile error b/c they profiles are formatted as www.boonex.us/ggsinc

m - mean that dolphin must find any methods in modules section
page - mean that dolphin show us some custom builder page!
- (see 1 above) m - module error
- (see 2 above) page - page error
- (see 3 above) everything else defaults to a profile error if it's mistyped. It should be a general error instead of a profile error. <- 3rd instance of error msgs. this is what I'm trying to fix.

@ggsinc - Interesting post.
I, too, would like to deliver a more personal message with the 404 error pages.
Please keep up posted on the progress. I think it's clever how Google puts humor into the error page.
ie: www.google.com/';l;lohmr[epo
