I want to upgrade to PHP7 for my hosting but I could not because my vB forum is not compatible with PHP7 so I have to leave it.

Did you even bother to read the link I posted ?

Although you state that some of the fixes are not "correct", my forum has been running just fine for about 8 months now on PHP 7.

Actually, I said two, not some

One you would never notice unless you somehow triggered exceptions, even then it would probably just display wrong information.
The other would, I think, break something (custom tags ?) I'm not actually anywhere I can look at code atm.

If they were the only changes you made, you are hiding a ton load of warnings.

The PHP 7 test version has been available for anyone who requests it for almost two months now, posted here, vb.com, and even TAZ - only three people have shown any interest. The Alpha's next month will basically be that code.
