Comment (by mcs):

 Kathy and I like all of the suggestions so far, but we wonder if we can
 make the error screens more user-friendly by providing a less technical
 explanation near the top of the page while using the long description
 field to provide more technical details. Combining comment:6, comment:7,
 comment:8 and mixing in some of our own ideas, here is a proposal for the
 0xF0 error:

 Tab Title:
 '''Problem Loading Onionsite'''

 Error Title:
 '''The onionsite is not available.'''

 Short Description:
 '''The most likely cause is that the onionsite is offline or disabled.'''

 Long Description:
 '''Details: The requested onion service descriptor cannot be found on the
 Tor network.'''

 What do other people think? Note that we also tried to use '''onionsite'''
 wherever it made sense to do so.

 Below is a screenshot that shows roughly what this would look like (please
 ignore the placeholder green and red boxes; we do not have artwork for the
 checkmark and X yet):
