[Issue] Lua Error with v9.2.5 in BC Classic - BasicChatMods\bnet_Classic.lua:19: attempt to index local 'battleTag' (a nil value)

[boktai1000]

Describe the problem

Lua error popped in-game on:

4x BasicChatMods\bnet_Classic.lua:19: attempt to index local 'battleTag' (a nil value)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

In this case, I took the portal from Shat -> Isle of Quel'danas, but it seemingly happened randomly / not related to anything I did that I'm aware of.

Consider attaching a screenshot below to help describe your issue (Attach directly, do not link to other websites)

What version of the addon are you using? (Stating 'latest' is not useful)

v9.2.5

Do you have an error log of what happened?

I was able to get the Lua to pop again by replying in-game to a Blizzard Whisper:

Seems like it does indeed pop at the moment every time I reply. Anyways, not sure how it got into this state. Even when i do a /reload right now, I get Lua errors that pop every time.

When I disabled the addon, I went to check and it seemed like Blizzard Friends was down. Which is likely part of the problem here.
