Sorry, I'm not sure if/when I will have the time to pick it up again. It's definitely in need of some overhauls like using composer and php 7.x. Not to mention modern javascript.
I can't see myself supporting all the forums that were supported in the past either. PhpBB is the only one I've got installed anywhere.
That said, the deprecation warnings and notice provided in this issue aren't part of AJAX chat.
@wintstar @Frug - just wanted to remind you guys that our host is giving us a shorter timeline for this and I can understand @Frug's statement with time allotted. The host is charging our forum owner for use of 7.1 as they are not fully supporting it. I've asked them to track the root cause of the deprecations. There were other issues with single-sign on (maybe?) causing all chatters to be minimium of "mod" level. (A different issue nonetheless)
Looks like with PHP 8.1 the situation got even worse. Chat isn't even loading for me.

the last version with which the chat (standalone 0.8.8) works properly is PHP 7.4.30
