I started seeing the same on Firefox as of the night of February 22nd. Wasn't sure if it was just me until now.

Nope, not just you. I think I first saw it a day or so earlier, possibly on the 21st, but didn't say anything in case there was some maintenance work happening, but looks like bug or some other failure now.

Well, there seems to be an issue with the phpBB installation. The site seems to be working, aside from the error.
I have been avoiding upgrades in hopes of importing this site to Discourse, or some other more modern forum platform. I made the mistake of upgradeing to 3.3 a few years back, only to discover that Discourse had just added migration support for 3.2 and wouldn't be able to migrate phpbb 3.3 for a while. Now that they seem to have a 3.3 migration path, I am planning to give it a shot when I have time, but that will likely be later this year.
I suppose now there really is no choice but to update the forum, and then troubleshoot if the problem persists.

Well if you need anybody to report back on what it's doing post upgrade I'm more than happy to help.

Dave, just a quick note, when I replied to your message just now, it errored when I submitted my post, but still posted.
This is the error I got when posting this just now:

But I didn't get an error editing this to add the screenshot.

I had been having ssh issues preventing me from updating the site and backing up the board. It looks like those issues are fixed, so I will back up the board and attempt to upgrade the installation. Most likely that will happen over the weekend.
I also will try to start catching up on the backlog of material waiting to be added to the repository.

It looks like hostgator upgraded to PHP8.2 by default. I downgraded to 7.4 and the errors appear to have disappeared.
