 Hello,

 With PHP 8.4 and the latest 6.7.2, I get and error on my home page (using
 Salient theme if that matters).

 The error is on line 3479 in formatting.php

 $textarr = preg_split( '/(<.*>)/U', $text, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE );
 // Capture the tags as well as in between.

 This breaks the home page. it seems to be a lexical warning more than
 anything else so it can be fixed by suppressing the error

 $textarr = @preg_split( '/(<.*>)/U', $text, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE
 ); // Capture the tags as well as in between.

 This resolves the issue.
