Warning: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in ....Bla Bla Bla

How to fix.

Open the file, includes/vfchh/php/vfc_hide_core.php, in that file find the following:

$this->registry =& $registry;

Replace with:

$this->registry = $registry;

Find:

$permission =& $this->check_permission($foruminfo);

Replace it with this:

$permission = $this->check_permission($foruminfo);

To let you know all links using the "[HIDE] tag(s)" are not available/working with the "Default Mobile Style"...
But if the "Mobile Style" is under the tab with the "Default Style", it is working...

Installed but I have this strange issue. Any time I load a thread, I get asked for a username and password. I just click cancel and it goes away but it's annoying.
