What I find most interesting is that my access is denied to my own profile, with me being admin. Fun stuff.
You'll need to delete your override, then rebuild your changes back into the new default versions of the template(s.
There are only a few templates in v8 that require this, but this is one of them.
Funny thing was, I never made a modification to the template. I may have looked at that template before some time ago, but never changed anything in there. Interesting.
There is only one error left on that screen ATM:
Code
A parameter, ID, is referenced in the template, OCF_FORUM, but not passed
And I also want to investigate putting a notepad in there again for member use like before (or maybe a tab that holds a note pad?).
Other than that, it's all gold - as far as the member profile goes. So thanks!
OCF_FORUM.tpl is another that has had quite a few changes, this time due to the threading. I made a tutorial on using a diff tool the other day, which got uploaded to CEDI under video tutorials by Jean.
Regarding the notepad, you could always make a CPF.

* Removed the Personal Zone zone
* made sure to check several times the file integrity checker. Besides 2 files that are marked as out of date (minor files) and some other file that wants merging, its pretty clean. None of the marked files have any reference to the member profile page.
* Looked at the OCF_MEMBER_PROFILE_SCREEN.tpl , but am lost about what to do with it…
* Cleaned brower chaches
*Used website cleanup tools.
Still - no go here.
*Disclaimer: These steps are privided to shopw what I have tried.
Fatal error: Class 'BaseFacebook' not found in /home/ocportal/public_html/sources_custom/facebook_connect.p

The upgrade went smooth until I did a file integrity check. I checked the suggested sources_custom files that had been superseded by new versions and click automatically handle and now get the above error.
I imagine I just have to go replace those files with the new versions but figured I should report it anyways.
….145 updated/new files already! Wow! Thank you for all the hard work.
When I first ran the integrity check I only checked off the files it said where outdated…thinking that maybe the alien ones were from the facebook addon and still needed. After getting rid of all the alien files it works great now.
Deleted all files the integrity checker said were alien not just the ones that have been superseded (except of course the ones I knew I put there/need)
Edit:
May have been a bad idea to delete the facebook block files.
A block file is missing: main_facebook_like (sources/blocks/main_facebook_like.php or an overridden equivalent to this path)
Some theme parts weren't upgraded right, but that's minor stuff really, and is something I was expecting - ie, some colors of my theme were not kept thus reverting to the default theme settings.
Anyways, looking good, looking good. I am going to go through my site and check things out, and then probably reopen it for live use tomorrow!
Points, they be coming your way.

Shouldn't these be automatically upgraded the add-ons are installed at the time of the upgrade?

Non-bundled addons are outside the scope of the upgrader and may need re-installing manually. I suspect all but lightbox2 are v8 compatible but I've not checked.
What the upgrader will do is detect the alien files and offer to delete them for you.
I would agree that some kind of non-bundled addon versioning manager would be nice.

You'll need to remove the old lightbox2 addon. It's now surplus to requirements, lightboxes are a standard feature, powered via the new unified overlays system.

Below are images of the box from my live site (left) and test site (right) which is a clone of my live site. Notice the time discrepancy.
Below is the calendar detail for the test site (right, above). Again, notice that the time is not consistent:
Finally, when clicking the "edit" link in the calendar detail, I get the following error:
Code
An error has occurred
PHP ERROR [1] Call to undefined function find_timezone_end_minute() in cms/pages/modules/cms_calendar.php on line 348 (version: 8-RC2, PHP version: 5.2.17, URL: /cms/cms_calendar/_ed/12.htm)

The theme debugger addon gives an error - The requested page (theme_debug) is missing.
Replying on theme debugger first— Fixed version uploaded, thanks.
Fixed:
Cleaning the cache didn't solve this probllme. It soon came back to haunt me.
If it's not a caching issue, it must be having JAVASCRIPT_AJAX.tpl overridden, or the upgrader somehow not updating it. We renamed a function in that file, 'load_XML_doc', to 'do_ajax_request' for code clarity reasons.

PHP NOTICE [8] Trying to get property of non-object in sources/permissions.php on line 587 (version: 8-RC2, PHP version: 5.2.17-0.dotdeb.0, URL: /)
I didn't install a forum/member system. I don't need this for my homepage.
I already took a look in the mentioned permissions.php. But couldn't find the issue.
Best regards
Falko
