Update Error Dialogs to Help with Next Steps #335

It would be nice for error dialogs to have a helpful next step for end-users when they occur.

In the example below, the visitor is pretty much stuck. They can only click OK and that's it. If they're not technical, it's even a worse scenario for the end-user.

What I propose is maybe one or two additional buttons.

  • Button 1: Get Help - Clicking this button takes you to the GitHub Issues area with the error message already in the search query. (Sample Link)
  • Button 2: Report this Error - This button should be disabled by default and only get enabled after the first button is clicked. When they can click it, they're taken to GitHub's new issue view. While disabled, a tooltip should tell the end-user that they need to search for help first, just in case the issue has already been reported. (Sample Link)
