There's no way to reach this without selecting a thread, so it must have existed at some point.

Currently when i put a bad url directly into the browser such as https://courses.edx.org/courses/BerkeleyX/CS-191x/2013_August/discussion/forum/i4x-BerkeleyX-CS191x-course-2013_Spring/threads/thisdoesnotexist then I get a 500. Does this PR change that?

If you access a thread's URL directly, then we will return a 404 with the standard 404 page; this particular bit of code is handling an AJAX request for a thread.
Also show a more specific error message in the front end. This change only has an effect if using cs_comments_service commit 1d71330 or later.
