So is 2.7.2+ still fubar?

is there a way just to hide that warning?

I added:
ini_set( "display_errors", 0);

right under:
<%php at the top.

This seemed to at least hide that warning.

in this thread you will find a arcade .php file with the fix added
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=282802

upload and over write your forums root arcade file..

Will that work on vb3.8?

That fixed it for me - I am running vb 3.7.1

should I have not tested it on vb3
same your original file just in case

This worked for me, just now saw this thread....

In includes/config.php

right under
<?php

copy this:
define('SKIP_ALL_ERRORS', true);

using 2.7.2+ main arcade.php file, no any errors after this edit....was thinking just to mention as that fix above did not work for me...but I used original 2.7.2 files not 2.7.1

same here
