I'd trade for that Taco...#3) Would you trade your s/o for XenForo 2.3? Happy Valentine’s!

Hope my shared hosting provider gets off their duff and gives me PHP 8. 7.4 is still max in our cPanel PHP Selector last I checked. But I imagine that XF will keep the minimum at 7.4 for version 2.3 just because of situations like mine, even if they strongly recommend 8.x due to the dates you give. XF 2.4, on the other hand...Although the team have previously stated that 2.3 would require minimum PHP 7.2, I believe this might be PHP 8.0, judging by the numbers here:

So we should update to jQuery 3.6.x in XF 2.3, yes?For those curious, the methodology used isn't anything crazy... It's looking at the XenForo/XF JavaScript object, then cross-referencing the version of jQuery being used (which is why it doesn't have a distinction between 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5 [all used the same version of jQuery]).
I have one last forum on the last version of 1.5 to get over to XF 2.2. Nothing but a series of delays. I'd say it was a comedy of errors, yet it wasn't even remotely funny.It seems that the percentage of xf1 installs is leveling off and no longer decreasing much.
I mean probably not worth it purely to make it easier to track versions. If you wanted to make it easy, just give the XF object a version attribute or something. But sure, why not? I'm sure there must be an upside to jQuery 3.6 beyond that. hahaSo we should update to jQuery 3.6.x in XF 2.3, yes?
This is exactly why I run with an absolute minimum of add-ons. There's nothing worse than something like this screwing up my forum.I'm not too pleased with abandoned/discontinued addons either, but that is par for the course since XF 1.0 first started featuring addons. And I can say that abandoned/discontinued addons were much more prevalent for us in 1.x than they've been in 2.x. In that case, some developers were well-intentioned but a bit wet behind the ears, and some of them apparently evaporated from the face of the earth.
And as you know, it's a hard adjustment when support disappears, and a new forum version comes along that breaks the addon that was deeply entrenched into the forum.
This time around, I went with well-established developers. Luckily a few have taken over and I now have replacements ready to go.This is exactly why I run with an absolute minimum of add-ons. There's nothing worse than something like this screwing up my forum.
Installment #4 coming soon, unless someone wants to do a guest submission for me
