i've tested the code in php 8, the only thing that i see that is the problem is with scanner.php itself introduced by IPS. I used an import instead of a FQN. imports are supported by php and are not incompatible with PHP 8. 
I'll release a fix for it, but i really shouldn't have too tbh. 
 

Thanks a lot for the patch!!!

I've been running 8.1 for months now. Why are some of my apps locked to prevent fatal errors if they were already compatible?
Also why wasn't there any mention of this in the update list? The update just said Improvements to marking posts as solutions. I assumed it was a small update. I would say moving to php 8.x compatibility is a pretty key feature.. What's the point in showing anything if you aren't going to show anything useful?
Now I have 3 major apps that are the center of my community disabled waiting for updates that could potentially take weeks. It's just another failure after the next with these recent updates. Very truly ashamed how much IPS has devolved over the years.

This just really sucks. Sorry,i needed to say that. I did not get ANY error or Warning BEFORE the upgrade about out-dated versions. Al versions where 4.7.1 and im running PHP 7.4.29
It just sucks, this is a major failure. Damn it is

This information should have been in the «blue banner» on top of our sites? 
We really need to be active on here to learn stuff like this - about a minor upgrade…

I'm afraid not. After a lot of research with no progress, I gave up. I would still dearly love to make it happen, but I have no idea how to do it. If you have better luck than I did, please do let me know.
 
Any help on this would be most welcome.

If your own page is made with Pages, then you can add this to the page template:
{{\IPS\Output::i()->cssFiles = array_merge( \IPS\Output::i()->cssFiles, \IPS\Theme::i()->css( 'forums.css', 'forums', 'front' ) );}}  

You can do that by editing th dark mode template in your theme. (you can replace the font awesome icons i use there)
but i will try to add an option for that in the next update 🙂 
 
thanks 

Thanks for coming back to me so quickly. I will try to find the differences to the default 4.4.6 theme.
