I guess the reaon why the message "Invalid image ID. Invalid request..." comes up is because the user has moved or removed the image from the portfolio where it was linked. (example, //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=143622)

I get this error message a lot, even when reading threads posted the same day. I'd like to suggest that the homepage not load so quickly after the error message, and also that the message be re-written so it's a little more clear. Maybe it could say something like "This image has probably been moved or deleted."

If there's another reason why I get these error pages so often when clicking on-site links in the forums, please let me know.

Thanks for providing such a wonderful resource for all of us! I'm very happy being a member here.

There are other reasons the link won't work, one of them being an attempt to link to an image that has been submitted to a challenge. So it's sort of a catchall phrase. "Invalid" covers a lot of possibilities.

"That number is busy or invalid. Please check your number and try your link again."

Agreed tho that the jump to the home page shouldn't be that fast. Maybe just let it sit there for a while so the user can recheck the number and retype if needed.

Hey, dear DPC, the invalid link page stays around longer now before going back to the main page. I like it!
