BUG: Undefined variable text "behind" page content

[Jools]

All,

Due to the upgrade, I need to find a specific bug. To help, I've made some server changes (upgraded to PHP 8.1) and as a side effect any undefined variables in the code will output warning text like this:

[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file /home/webcat/planetcatfish.com/common/functions/latest_breederboard.php on line 24: Undefined variable

Warning text means stuff looks odd but functionality is not broken (except, perhaps, layout).

If just a few lines, the text maybe be hidden behind the menu/page header. Or there may be many lines of errors. If you spot one, post it here and I will fix as we go along.

Cheers, and thanks for your patience,

Jools

Hi Jools,
I got the error on the front page, hiding under the text. Here it is:

Good hunting!

Thanks Eric, I found part of the problem with the "onmouseeover" bug which means I can now undo the change I made to show all these warning messages.

However, one day, I need to put them on again and sort out all the warnings......

...and of course, this "one day" is now upon us. Moving this one to resolved.
