FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: IBJoel
As we have resolved most of the largest issues (I would consider subscription emails and wikipost editing to be the major outstanding ones) and I have about a dozen other sites to monitor that underwent the same changes as FlyerTalk did, I must request that you please answer these questions in your future reports (you can just copy/paste if you want). If you do not provide these, I will not be responding or reporting your issue to our tech team.

Desktop or mobile?
Reproduced in multiple browsers? Which do/dont work (we at least need to know the initial browser)?
Steps to reproduce the issue
Reproduced on incognito mode/private window?
When did this problem start?
(If you're just confirming that you're also having the issue, we'll just need your device type and browser)

I saw two messages earlier that I think are new to me (could be wrong though)

Had just finished composing a reply and clicked submit and got

TypeError: explode(): Argument #2 ($string) must be of type string, array given in ..../products/hotel- reviews/lib/class_hotel_reviews.php on line 470
which is peculiar among other reasons because the thread was https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chas...-benefits.html which is not a hotel review thread.

attempting to go back to the thread to try again resulted at first in a CloudFlare error, then our old friend the database error (the one that has happened a lot in the past), then finally

Error: Undefined constant "posts" in ..../includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(1653) eval()'d code on line 36
Opera, Android, mobile skin, and I did not bother with the rest because the site had literally just a second ago been working fine and suddenly started throwing these errors without my having changed anything. So I can't swear it isn't specific to mobile skin, or having blocking on, etc. but this has all the hallmarks of a bad code update*. This was shortly after 5pm Central European Time (GMT+1) according to my screenshots and texts to other FTers to see if it was just me. It resolved itself for me maybe 10 minutes later (code rolled back?)

*EDIT: I missed the "8" of the "PHP 8" in the title and only realized it after a mention of the PHP upgrade in the Oct 24th thread. So this certainly explains the triggering event, although as usual one wishes this could have been tried out on a beta site first to work out the kinks before unleashing it in production.

addendum: while composing the above post, I noticed that my editor had been reset to the basic editor (which I certainly did not do on my own, my usual setting is the full whatever editor that is the other option in that dropdown menu) which I'm guessing is also related to today's shenanigans

So I've been getting the error "ArgumentCountError: 7 arguments are required, 6 given in ..../includes/functions.php on line 3127" all day on the thread https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...ravels-39.html - I can still access some other threads and fora OK but can't get onto that one. Have tried clearing cookies to no avail but if I try and open via Incognito it opens OK so it just seems to be when logged in that there's a bug?

This is a brand new error that I've been receiving anytime I click on "go to unread", "go to last", or select the last page manually (e.g. enter 99 in a 99 page thread).

ArgumentCountError: 5 arguments are required, 4 given in ..../includes/functions.php on line 3127

Hmm for some reason my 2nd post on the the thread seems to have been removed, but I was pointing out there are some issues with 'Post Quick Reply' appearing to hang (despite working in the background).

I am getting the same argument counter error on this page: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...dition-37.html

It's an issue on Chrome and Safari on Desktop, and Safari on mobile. It started immediately after I made a post to that thread. Before that it was fine.

I have had this issue as well.

However, it does appear we can change thread titles ourselves now. I'm not sure if this is intended, but I just did it in CommunityBuzz (OMNI Bugger Virtual DO #29: Saturday, December 3, 2022) - either that, or the mods received my report and changed the title in under 90 seconds.

(I swear this is not a shameless plug! )

ArgumentCountError: 5 arguments are required, 4 given in ..../includes/functions.php on line 3127
Repeatability: Been consistent since this morning
