Is this still open?, cause i think notifications are sent now with clear messages

I just tried to upload the video without logging in, and i saw the error messages currently being send are not clear. We are currently sending the error messages received from server.
I'll try to update the error messages accordingly.

Error message shown on accessing page without being logged in

@Reputation22 It would make sense to add some verbiage to ask users to report the issue to phabricator if the error is not expected :)

@Soda so basically we want a button like "Report this issue", on the Error notifications?

Meanwhile, how about i change these error messages to something more verbose to clients Ex: "User not logged in" and stuff
