Improve filter error message

Title:
Improve filter error message

Area:
user interface

Summary:
Currently, the error page for a non-existent filter is a blank page and a little text. I suggest providing site navigation and helpful notes.

Description:
The error page for http://msilverstar.dreamwidth.org/read/ooo

Not Found
The content filter you are trying to access does not exist.

It should have the same page design and navigation text as the standard 404 page (e.g. for the page http://msilverstar.dreamwidth.org/ooo), and some text like:


This URL links to a Dreamwidth user's reading filter that does not exist.

If you entered the URL directly or pasted it into your browser's address bar, you may have made a type, pasted too little, or pasted too much. If you followed a link, you may want to report this to the maintainer of the page that linked you here.

To see the Dreamwidth user's page, use a url with their name, like this: username.dreamwidth.org

To check the system status, see http://twitter.com/dreamwidth
