The preloader page zero problem is a perfect example of the kind of message I'm talking about--it points to a specific problem, with a known workaround, but the error message itself is not something a beginner would understand without reading the sticky at the top of this forum, which I assume is why you put it there. So the question is, are there any other such cryptic error messages that point to problems with known fixes that beginners could apply themselves if they only knew what the message meant in the first place?
