I was trying to upload a topic on discourse which had 5 megs of images. For some weird reasons it kept on uploading until I closed the browser. Since then none of the topics load for me. I can login. See all the topics but when I click on any topic it keeps loading and nothing happens. Here is the error logs which I see.
```
Error: Could not find module `discourse/mixins/string-buffer` imported from `discourse/plugins/discourse-links-category/discourse/components/featured-link`
