Update (Version 1.6.4)
I came across another issue resulting from the language update from PHP 8.0 to 8.1. The sent items section of the private messages feature was showing a deprecation in the code used to display the BCC recipients. I've taken care of that just now.

This is code I wrote, so per usual, it took seconds to address. If only this were true for the chat feature.

Update (Version 1.6.5)
I finally got around to deleting a handful of unused, abandoned, hacked accounts. I also deleted a spam thread I wasn't able to a while back now that obliterating users is fixed.
This had me viewing, or attempting to view, a perma-deleted thread which surfaced 3-4 errors in the thread view page under that circumstance. I've fixed those issues.

Update (Version 1.6.6)
It was pointed out that viewing a member's list of forum posts was not working for non-staff accounts. This has been fixed. This bug has probably existed for a while. It's unfortunate it was not addressed sooner, but at least it is fixed now.
Now when visiting a user's profile page, the "View Forum Posts" link found in the left pane should work properly.

Update (Version 1.6.7)
I was futzing around the forum not logged in again and noticed a couple issues with the member profile display page. When not logged in, the page would display errors related to the links for editing user profile information. Those errors have been fixed.

I also noticed that if trying to view a member that doesn't exist, many errors would show, which was solved in a similar manner as to threads that don't exist. Things fail gracefully in these cases now, with a descriptive message displayed to the user.

I also found a minor issue where the login failure page was displaying an error. I've fixed that as well.

Update (Version 1.6.8)
There are extremely rare situations where a perma-banned/deleted user from long ago in the past has a post or two remaining on the forum that only staff can see (since the post is "deleted"). Those posts may not have an actual user ID attached to them since some of these users never made the transition to the new forum setup in 2017. In this case, the user ID is typically 0 (zero) which ultimately doesn't display the user information properly. This situation has been fixed.

Again, this is pretty meaningless for regular forum members, but staff can see an example of this situation working properly now after post #20 in this thread: How to Photograph Your Car

The forum was down (returning 500 and 503 errors) for ~24 hours due to an issue with the host. Once I noticed, I reported the issue and they resolved it quickly. Sorry for the trouble!
