This seemed to resolve itself so this can be marked as resolved

Weirdly, at 05:03am this morning, we started getting a lot of exceptions on our forum. (in conf_global.php we use `set_exception_handler()` to email exceptions to us).

PHP was upgraded from 7.4 to 8.1 yesterday morning, but it was 20 hours until we saw any exceptions come through and we have notice over 10k of these coming through so it's happening a lot. A dump of the exception reveals, for example:

looks off - as if the wrong format has been specified for year or something?

I looked for date time formats in the settings but couldn't find any. The software is up to date and there aren't issues in the "Get Support" panel, after upgrading PHP.

Any thoughts?

On our forum we are seeing a lot of invalid moderator queue post counts. The clickable red numbers are a different value to how many posts we see when we click through. I have attached a few screenshots to illustrate this.

We're up to date with the latest patch applied.

Cheers

We don't have any applications or plugins at all. I'll submit a ticket, thank you.

At least one of our members is getting notices saying their posts are awaiting moderation, despite the fact they're in our Power Member group:

And that group has the following set:

Other members in the same group are posting fine.

Can anyone suggest something we might be missing?

Many thanks
