Yes I'm using AirHead's Arcade mod. I hope it will get updated to match the new version settings. People like it a lot, they have already scored above 59,000 in that Air Fox game..lol
I hope that the mod will get amended so we can use it in version 8 of webwiz forums because I will upgrade to the new version anyways.

Speaking of database backup, I am confused as to which method to use to back up my forum database. On the Microsoft website they state that I do a right-click on the db I want to backup and then back it up using Enterprise Manager like shown here:
At first, I used the Import and Export Data method assuming that it's the right way of doing it and I set the option to back it up to 'Local' ...the problem is i don't know where on my computer the back up was stored...

I've not tried Microsofts method but I usually install SQL Server locally (or MSDE), create a blank database on it, then use the import/export DTS tools to export the database to my locally installed SQL Server database.

Ok cool, I have done that... One last question before I go ahead and convert the db... Should I wait for the final release or is it okay to use RC1 and then update when the full version is released?

I have just released version 8 RC1.1 which fixes a few issues with the RC1 release.
Most issues with version 8 should now be sorted out ready for the final release at Easter.
