I found patch

Fixed Thread 'PHP 8.3 compatibility patch'

Nov 28, 2023

This is just a small patch for PHP 8.3 compatibility issues that we've encountered so far.

Notably, XF\BbCode\Renderer\Html attempts to increment a bool in a couple places, a stopSmilies and stopBreakConversion can be either bools or ints. It's not clear to me why they would ever need to be incremented; as far as I can tell, they're never decremented, and those values are never checked. This is probably a bug. Prior versions of PHP would silently refuse to increment bools anyway, so the only incompatibility here is that PHP 8.3 emits a proper warning. The patch preserves...

I'm on Cloud and have been upgraded to 8.2.15, so I strongly suggest that you install the same version for trouble-free operation.

Tagging @Chris D in case there's anything more to add.
