I am trying to add new groups but I am getting an internal error when Discourse checks the group name availability: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/c/9/7/c97bf1b6670be6c952a4782df79e6b49c2dce5c4.png) This happened recently and i posted about it here: [New Group - 500 Error - #4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-group-500-error/291076/4) At the time, I updated Discourse and did a rebuild. It worked after doing that. However, now, after updating to the latest Discourse release and again rebuilding the app, it is NOT working again.
