In the upgrade tools, the "read me first" document says:
 
Please Note:-
-------------
Do NOT attempt to run Web Wiz Forums version 7 with a version 9 database or it WILL corrupt it
Web Wiz Forums version 8 can use a version 9 database

Were did you read this?

You can and you can't. You can upgrade your database to version 9, but you can not run version 8 and version 9 against the same database.

If you upgrade your forum to version 9 database and intend to keep running version 8 you will need to reset all the settings in version 8 after the database upgrade.

I got the new version today.

I installed it and did the DB upgrade.  I was planning on using v8 on the database (since it said I could) but it changed the look of the forum!!

And it started showing ads again (in v8!!)

Is there something I have to do to get the old look back?  Thanks.

Not sure if i am doing this right but i get the following error when trying to update.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a005e'

Invalid use of Null: 'CLng'

/web/forum_test/default.asp, line 501


I uploaded the final release of WWF 9 and then uploaded my old database to the database folder renaming it wwForum.mdb


I then ran the update tool for the access version and it all went through ok and then it produced the above error when i went back to the default page. Any ideas? am i doing this right? any help would be great. thanks.
