Our forum, which is hosted by Discourse, is suddenly gone - it doesn’t show any posts anymore and there’s a big JS error in the console. Any idea what might be the issue? I was thinking it could be an issue with the theme, but I’ve checked and it’s fine as far as I can see (We still have access to the admin panel) ---

We are seeing the same issue since updating to beta 12 ---

It seems to be due to this part of the code: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/c/2/7/c27b57cb5aefda9b3a9ec0d1cf671d44321e9175.png) `options` is undefined so an exception is thrown and that crashes the whole website. ---

We have a repro of the issue and will be issuing a fix shortly, thanks heaps for bringing it to our attention ---

We reverted the change via [this commit](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/338901d335228944d5d1fb3675195be93ee8a1ef). Thanks @hithere for identifying the precise issue! As an immediate workaround, [Safe Mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) should allow you to access the affected forums. That will temporarily disable any themes/plugins which are triggering the deprecation notices. We’ll get this fix rolled out to our hosting ASAP - very likely within the next hour. ---

Confirming the revert fixes things. Thanks for the quick response. ---
