Error

An error is a piece of information displayed when an unexpected event occurs. Error messages are used when user intervention is required, to indicate that a desired operation has failed, or to relay important warnings (such as warning a computer user that they are almost out of hard disk space). Error messages are seen widely throughout Roblox and are part of every Roblox version.

On the game client, if an error has occurred, a said error will appear in the center of the screen in the form of a gray dialog box, which will tell the user specifics about the error and give them multiple methods to proceed. On the website, the error will appear in the form of a separate page, typically with a Roblox-themed image to go along with it.
