No I didn't break it thank
No I didn't break it thank you very much 
last time I visit that site he said I broke it, the cheek of it. 
A 404 means "Error page not found" also allow for a 403 "page or directory forbidden"
I presume that you haven't set that live as I couldn't force a page not found.
How do you intend running the error pages .htaccess ?

What just the 404 page
What just the 404 page 
It's nice to provide - if not a huge site - a list of the pages available, if dynamic a search function of some description.

Do change that statement that
Do change that statement that your visitor has broken your site though, it's not good form to accuse, even by implication, your users of having broken the site. Good form is to apologise to them for having failed to provide the page they were seeking explain if necessary it might be due to a typo error and then attempt to direct them somewhere meaningful.

Agreed. I changed it. How do I test to see if the 404 page is working? I have it up, and have updated .ataccess.
** nevermind. I have tested and is working **
