Error messages when attempting to read PM
 

Ever since one night when there seemed to be a big crash or "something", I thought it was all working as usual but today, after not being able to be around much lately, I went to read a msg from a friend here but half the page was taken up with error messages as I've not seen before. If you want me to show you them I can do that.I just saved it offline. It only happens when you click to read a new message. They're all PHP Warnings.

Thanks Lara
There was an update so perhaps related?
I will alert DocJohn to your post so he can let you know what info he may need to troubleshoot

All fixed!

heavily edited since I first posted this response
 

Thank you Doc, however, I was searching for an old Long Covid post and when I clicked it also shows the PHP errors. Maybe I should go back to sleep lol

Coronavirus, COVID-19 and Post-COVID-19 Syndrome

p.s. Doc, there are more random ones throughout various different threads when I clicked on them just now.

I just tried to respond to the same person in PM as last night and the list of errors is back. I just PM'd Chemar and list of errors came up there as well.

- my Mood icon is totally gone now although I hadn't used it in forever so it doesn't matter to me at all.

- if trying to read a thread that includes a post or posts from someone I have listed as 'ignore' so that I don't see the message, then it happens

I use "Curves" as my Quick Style Choice.

Is this just happening to me??? It's only when I log in of course. When not logged in it doesn't happen.

Lara have you cleared cache`, cookies etc?

Yes, regularly. Good suggestion though. ;)

This is what I'm seeing although on some pages it's 3 times longer and the lines are different and the undefined constants are different. I thought it may have something to do with ignore feature, but I cleared that now and it's still showing PHP Warnings in Private Messaging for example.. As I said earlier the mood or assumed "mood" has been removed somewhere along the way. I cleared all my medical history in profile to see if that helped but it didn't.

I'm sure it'll get sorted sometime. No big deal if it's only affecting me. I just think it's odd that no one else has mentioned these errors except one other person.

I now think this has something to do with my Ignore feature. I'll test it again tomorrow when not so exhausted from the world.

What theme are you using?

Curves. Always have.
I guess I could try one of the other ones if it's muted enough for me visually. I'll see if the code error still happens then and report back.

Tried Blue Default. Same.


PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant postbit_end - assumed 'postbit_end' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/class_postbit.php(265) : eval()'d code(23) : eval()'d code on line 1

and 100 odd lines of more


PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant pi_menu_normal - assumed 'pi_menu_normal' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_editor.php(685) : eval()'d code on line 33

PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant pi_menu_normal - assumed 'pi_menu_normal' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_editor.php(685) : eval()'d code on line 34

PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant pi_button_normal - assumed 'pi_button_normal' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_editor.php(685) : eval()'d code on line 37

I figured it out from my end so far. I think it is related to the Ignore feature.

Maybe I'm the only person who ever used it. :confused: When I was really ill I had to put certain persons in there because they were bothering me privately to say it kindly. In fact for long time I switched off PM completely to everyone else as well.

I just cleared the Ignore boxes and the PHP warnings did not appear.

Maybe someone else could try putting me in Ignore and try to read a thread where I have posted. Like this one perhaps? See if you get all those warnings. Simple test.

I tested in PM as well and it didn't show up there today since I emptied it yesterday. It's related to "Ignore" rather than the Theme I use.

Anyway it no longer matters really.

That's the information we needed (the ignore list) that we couldn't troubleshoot on our own. That is indeed what's causing it. We'll get this fixed sometime tomorrow for the ignore list, thanks for letting us know!
