A user, michaelbrnd, reported an issue with the user admin panel failing to load after making any change to a user’s profile. The error message displayed was “Something went wrong.” Initially, codinghorror suspected it might be related to a large number of categories optimization, but michaelbrnd clarified that the issue occurred when editing any field in the user’s admin panel. codinghorror requested techapj to reproduce the issue, but they were unable to do so. techapj suggested that the issue might be related to a site setting with a non-realistic value and shared a link to a relevant thread. michaelbrnd confirmed that this was indeed the problem, caused by attempting to restrict trust level 3 upgrades to manual admin or mod approvals.
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?
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.
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.
