Forum warnings and odd guests - jaybreak - 02-10-2024
Ed and I have been receiving weird PHP warnings at the top of some pages on the forum. You will know them if you see them. Nothing to worry about right now, since they just are just cumbersome notifications. Everything seems to be working fine. If you encounter them, simply scroll down and the page content should be below the warnings.
I have noticed on the Who's Online page (it's linked on the forum home page at the bottom of radixfidem.org), that there are a lot of hits from unregistered visitors, from a range of IPs originating in Hong Kong. On the server side, I banned that range of IPs, so they can't see the site unless they register. I'm seeing guest hits right now but they are scattered geographically and they don't seem suspicious.
I'll check on things later or tomorrow, but keep this site in your prayers, if you can.

Yes, I am getting those warnings.

Things have been pretty busy on my end, so I haven't had much time to look into this yet, so please bear with me.
I believe the error/warning code has to do with a recent automatic PHP upgrade that occurred on February 8. Maybe. I'll look into it more later this week. Thanks!

It looks like I have to upgrade the forum to the latest version, since the one I am running isn't compatible with PHP8. The instructions on upgrading are pretty good, so I will do that sometime in the next few days. The forum may be inaccessible while I do it, so expect some downtime.
