The MFGG forums are now running PHP 8.2

@Vert Yeah, getting MyBB up to PHP 8.2 was painful indeed! It was actually harder than updating the mainsite software. The core MyBB software is fine - the problems came from a few outdated custom templates and some old, unsupported plugins.

We use quite a few plugins to support helpful features that don't come packaged with MyBB - things like the 1-Up button, notifications system, WYSIWYG post editor, and forum-Discord integration. And just about all of these plugins caused errors and warnings in PHP 8.2! Some plugins are well-supported, and I just needed to find the latest version and install it. But some plugins haven't been touched in years - for example, there was an Ajax plugin that one random person in Iran made in 2014, and it hasn't been updated in a very long time. I was able to manually update some of the simpler plugins, but I had to disable a couple of less-important plugins that aren't supported anymore (the aforementioned Ajax plugin, which really wasn't needed anymore, and a "show a birthday notification on your birthday" plugin that hadn't worked in years).

Course clear! You got a card.
