Another issue:
On my forum I have a non ladder group, named "staff", flagged as moderator group in all forums.
The members of this group, after conversion, are not able to view edit, hide and delete buttons in all messages.
On 7.92 all is ok.

Permissions may need to be reset after the update.
It does say this while updating, but I guess I need to make it more obvious
A new permissions engine is used on version 8 and permissions will not carry over, so default permissions are set for everyone.

I am afraid I do not have an access to MSSQL application. I tried for several days to research MSSQL databases and how to convert it but I am afraid I did not get very far.
Sorry about that, if I find anything I will let you know

Ok, my fault, I didn't read...  I don't understand why after conversion I see the permission table reflecting the permissions before conversion. I tried to remove moderation rights to the "staff" group, and apply again, but it doesn't work. How can I reset all permissions and apply again? Thanks a lot

I have a question about using the conversion tool, there is an arcade mod I added to my forum... Will that carry over? Actually, I'm not worried about the fact that game scores will get lost, but I'm worried that the DB wolud crush.

It all depends if the arcade mod uses table column names the same as those in the new database.
AS I don't know of this mod, the best thing to do is back-up your database and give the upgrade ago. If you get know errors it's fine, if you get errors the error message should give you a clue as to what column names are conflicting, and so need to be removed from the database.

Info_Tech if your talking about AirHeads Arcade mod on Breath of Air, then it wont "upgrade" the arcade, but, theres nothing to "upgrade" database wise in the Arcade Mod, though Aaron will need to update the arcade to comply with the new Skining system, i believe hes waiting for the forum to be offically released before he upgrades it (incase of any skinning changes) if its another arcade mod - then sorry, i dont know
