 * Php 5.6 is reaching end of life. Therefor my ISP is changing to PHP 7.2 but Forum
   server code uses deprecated class instanciation or something
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘new’ (T_NEW) in /customers/d/b/6/vagabond31.
   org/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/forum-server/bbcode.php on line 174
 * Code that fails
 *     ```
        foreach ($filters as $filter) {
                   $class = 'FS_HTML_BBCodeParser_Filter_'.$filter;
                   $this->_filters[$filter] =& new $class; //This row is un parseable
                   $this->_definedTags = array_merge($this->_definedTags, $this->_filters[$filter]->_definedTags);
   
               }
       ```

   error
