Looking at the error stack this looks to be be related to the content of the thread_view template. What is your php version and what was the latest change or modification done to the forum prior to this happening?

Can you try to disable your third party add ons and then have another look to see if the error has gone?

An error occurs when I click on the thread. It only happens in mega threads, not single threads.

PHP version 8.4.18

But add-on owner said to

It's not a bug in my add-on. Custom template functions added by add-ons are supposed to be applied by XF and if you see that error it means something went wrong. Try rebuilding add-on data.

So it's a XenForo problem. What should I do?

In your previous post you stated that the issue has been fixed. Isn't that the case?

What about these questions?

what was the latest change or modification done to the forum prior to this happening?

Can you try to disable your third party add ons and then have another look to see if the error has gone?

What have you tried. The more details you give the better.

I'm suddenly not getting errors. But I didn't do anything interesting.
