Can anybody tell me, how i can input a 404 error on to a website like gamebattles so when somebody goes to report the score they can't and the link becomes broken :D ? much appreciated.

[edwardholmes91]

@wallaceboi As far as im aware this isn't possible. A 404 error is served up by the server when a link is broken, if the .htaccess file links to a custom page then the server will display this. But displaying one when someone reports a score im not sure... you can certainly host a 404 file and link to it if you wish. Anyone else have any ideas about this? I could be completely wrong, it may indeed be possible :)

Thanks, something that I had been wanting to do on my site for quite a while and kept putting off because I thought it would be too complex. But when I saw how simple it was to do I decided I would share how easy it is with everyone else. :D

Will do. When i get time.

[edwardholmes91]

Thanks! Yer its supposed to make it clearer but it makes it sound a bit rubbish... the next video I make I won't bother with it... also can you send me your splash screen? I will add to my next video. :D
