Well, there was an error on my super long answers. I clicked on edit, and an error came. My computer is way too old so it can't screenshot so I'll post the text that appeared here:

A Question2Answer database query failed when generating this page.

A full description of the failure is available in the web server's error log file.

It edited (I saw it edited by not refreshing and using another tab). But was it because my question used way too much lines? This actually did nothing, but I am pretty curious what it means.

It might aswell be a problem with the new design, but I ain't completely sure about that, so I'll just make a question about it.

Edit: I got the error again 16/07/2018

That's all!
SeeYaLater!

It might be a problem with your computer; I'm not getting this message when I click to edit.
It isn't every time I do this. Just only on that answer. I edited it many times tho.
If it happens again, can you let me know the exact time? It will help me find the error in our error logs.
I think that I've seen this error a few times before when trying to submit a post or an edit, but reloading the page has always fixed it.
I know. But now I see this almost every time I edit my question. :/
+Pokemaster look at your wall please, it has on the time.

Sorry for the delay in getting to this. It was an issue with the "edit history" saving. Basically the character limit on posts was increased a while back but I didn't update the edit history to match, so edits of long posts caused the error.

I've fixed it now.
