Clicking on user settings crashes NodeBB

[Guiri]

When the "Settings" route is selected from the user page, user/testuser, NodeBB crashes. Before crashing, it hangs and a forum update notification appears:

Loops like a shout box plugin issue. Try disabling it with ./nodebb reset plugin="nodebb-plugin-shoutbox" and test again.

It's a known bug for shoutbox - it's not for v0.7.x. If you want to use shoutbox, go back to v0.6.x.

His Github issue states he's working on a rewrite, but I don't see any newer code in master.

If you could not give advice that would break someones Forum that would be great. You can not downgrade from one major version back to another.

I know, downgrade is impossible. You don't have to tell me that.

Then it shouldn't be recommended as a fix.
