PHP 7.3 warnings in EasyDiscuss Pro 4.1.6

Hello,

The following PHP warnings are reported when I test EasyDiscuss Professional 4.1.6 on localhost, using Wampserver 3.1.7 and PHP 7.3.2:

[07-Feb-2019 15:28:28 UTC] PHP Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? in C:\www\pesrestore\administrator\components\com_easydiscuss\includes\decoda\decoda\Decoda.php on line 944

A PHP stack trace about the same warning is attached, recorded yesterday.

[07-Feb-2019 16:11:46 UTC] PHP Warning: preg_replace(): Compilation failed: invalid range in character class at offset 14 in C:\www\pesrestore\administrator\components\com_easydiscuss\includes\string\string.php on line 174

Please provide fixes to improve the compatibility of EasyDiscuss with PHP 7.3.
