Hi, I am having a problem with my user admin page, the one at the url “/admin/users/[username]”

When the account is new, I can enter this page just fine, but once I make a single change to any category, I can never enter it again. I am greeted with:

☹  
Error  
while trying to load  
Something went wrong.  
Go Back Try Again

I’ve tried to go into /logs to see what was going wrong, but /logs refuses to load as well. There are no problems anywhere else on our site except for these two pages. Any suggestions?

Hmm if this is related to changing a category perhaps this is a new regression based on your large number of categories optimization @sam?

Oops, perhaps I shouldn’t have used the word “category.” What I meant by changing any category, was a change to any field in a user’s admin panel, such as editing badges or trust level.

I am not able to reproduce this issue.

Did you changed any site setting to non-realistic (very large) value? This thread maybe related to your error:

> [@Error While Trying to load, New and Admin accounts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-while-trying-to-load-new-and-admin-accounts/29050):
>
> So whenever I try and access a users account from the ‘Users’ Tab on the admin panel I get this error. Error When trying to load, go back or retry It only happens on non ‘Normal User’ Accounts. aka, Admin Accounts, Mod accounts and new accounts. Though it should show there profile, there badges and allow me to change other settings. Any suggestions could be helpful ^.^ I tried upgrading my RAM I have 16 GB now instead of 1 and it still happens. @codinghorror Just saw that you frequent here …

Yup, this was the problem, thank you. I was trying to make it so that the only way a user could get trust level 3 was if an admin or mod manually upgraded them.
