Arpegi 5.0 - PHP recovery
- Fixed the white screen of death. For this, I had to disable all other themes, due to them not working on PHP 8.0+
- Upgraded various mods to run on PHP8.0
- Removed some admin shortcuts since they are broken on PHP8.0+ and the only fix would be upgrading to SMF 2.1 (which is currently not in the pipeline)
- Various small loading improvements the FCP.
- Made the moderation menu "lazier". (More quick links)
- A lot more animations are present now.
- Them spitting out a ton of PHP8 errors is a time of the past.
- They can be ignored or disabled by the user easier in their settings.
This might look like a very small and minor update, but believe you me... This update took me weeks to figure out the cause of that white screen of death.
Various members emailed me, poked me on Steam... Thank you for that.
But PHP 8.0+ broke all other themes beyond repair.
I could adjust it for PHP8.0+, but then I might loose all features like the arcade/notes system/additional social media profiles etc.
So, I took the decision to rip out all other themes and reset everybody to the default theme to get it working again. Feel free to shout at me because of that, but I rather have our place be up & running for nostalgia reasons without the other themes compared to it being gone and only a fleeting memory. Behind the scenes, when I have the time, I'm also doing security updates and others to make sure this is GDPR proof AND we don't get hacked.
