All known bugs in RC2 have been fixed, as well as a number of usability improvements based on feedback from testers.
Release notes:
- v8 includes a new theme upgrader which will fix most issues with your themes. However some templates have changed. Most people have issues with changes they've made to the OCF_MEMBER_PROFILE_SCREEN.tpl template. A video tutorial explaining template upgrades has been created.
- The upgrader does not have a knowledge of non-bundled ocProducts addons, but it will flag them up as alien files. In particular, files relating to the old Facebook and Lightbox2 addons are incompatible and you should let the upgrader remove them if you have them. There is a much better v8 Facebook addon, and equivalent lightbox2 addon functionality is now core to ocPortal.
- Note about how to improve security after upgrading to version 8
- Note about comment topics from very old ocPortal sites (3 and under)

Thanks. I couldn't reproduce on Chrome or Firefox. Do you perhaps have JAVASCRIPT_EDITING.tpl overridden too?
A workaround is to turn off the "Convert XHTML to Comcode" option, which is the new default.
I did fix the scrolling issue in your theme by assigning some extra space to that dialogue, hopefully - let me know if I didn't when you upgrade to the next release.
Unchecked it, and it's perfect for me as I rarely, if ever, use the WYSIWYG editor.
Code
.breadcrumbs_always {clear: both;
}
Had to manually change a link in /policy.htm to the new profile setup:
Privacy settings
Logged in members may choose which fields display publicly.
The link use to be directed to the personal zone. I changed it to :members:type=view#tab__edit__privacy
I checked the calendar again and could find a further bug with the calendar side block. Just add e.g. an all-day event from 01.04.2012 to 05.04.2012 and it won't appear their. It is IMPORTANT to set the start time before the current date to reproduce this.
Oh, by the way I really was happy to find the "Choose custom 'Images' fields" function in the gallery. Great job
And I can't use the "Make comment" function (Firefox 11):

Sorry for the noise.

Fixed
However, Elsewhere the utility works fine.
I guess there was quite a lot on the page. This tool has to turn off caching and run some more complex processing. I'll turn off the memory limit for it.

only one small thing. Facebook blocks are not working. They don't seem to be adding the page id.
I double checked all my settings and they are correct.
The main facebook friends block says a critical parameter, was missing.
The activity block shows no activity but I know it should. 21 friends have liked it over the last couple days and 11 people are talking about it.
Possibly outdated templates from the v7 FB addon are still around? Nothing has changed in RC3 regarding this addon so that seems likely.
I could confirm the FB friends block issue though. You can workaround with a param="" parameter. I have uploaded a fixed copy of the adon.
Upgrading from v7 to v8 gave me this error from the gallery embed.
A parameter, , is referenced in the template, BLOCK_MAIN_GALLERY_EMBED, but not passed
It's param="root" with the error. Setting to a non-existant param makes the error go away, but of course, doesn't show the gallery I want. If this is a personal issue, then I'm sorry for posting here.
Hoping for a better result tomorrow morning.

And now Google Art has come along to compete with you, too! But you may be able to steal an idea or two … !!
I am getting closer to a site redesign but it is still a subject for discussion. There are three of us involved: Julian's daughter who is also an artist but does not use computers at all (she has her husband pull stuff up from the site), his son, who like me, is not artistic but has a strong sense of what the site should look like borrowing from real-world constructs, and me, who knows that getting such constructs into digital form is not always easy or even desirable. I do hold the trump vote since it's my money being spent, but I have a very high regard for these people's opinions and feelings.
After v8 settles down, I will probably be hiring the designer I used for my previous e-commerce sites as he is very easy for me to work with since I've known and worked with him for years. I'll most likely take the design to ocProducts for coding which will cost a fair amount but it will be done right.
The one thing that the three of us agree on is that we want to do a more contemporary presentation of Julian's work. For inspiration, I've been looking at the sites for MOMA, Whitney Museum, Tate Gallery, National Gallery and LACMA. I think the LACMA presentation might be the easiest to transform into an ocPortal skin.

The error about a forum ID not being passed is still in the member profile page, however I think that is because of the two calls to particular forums in the OCF_FORUMS.tpl, causing that. Not a real big issue, and not seeming to cause any harm site wise.
I haven't seen anything pertaining to a Google +1 on the front page, thought I read that as a feature for v8. Might have dreamed that though.
As I don't have facebook I haven't dugged for anything related to Facebook for my site or members yet. I might have to get a facebook account though just to see about that functionality. Wasn't there supposed to be something in the member's page for facebook activity? And what about the "like this" on facebook?
On the top of posts on my site I only have the five starts that you can click on any number of star to give the post a rating. I don't see the thumbs up/thumbs down image I see here. Must be some setting I haven't discovered yet?
If these are the only things I'm complaining about then it's gold IMO lol.
{ID} is passed as NULL for this (because it's not an actual forum), so those references you've added need guarding with {+START,IF_PASSED,ID} around them otherwise it can't process it.
In the main_screen_actions block
It's a non-bundled addon.
If you want likes rather than ratings you need to do this command in OcCLE:
Code
:set_value('likes','1');
Eventually there will be, but for now it's only a quasi-official feature.
Code
{+START,IF,{$EQ,{ID},1}}
{$LOAD_PAGE,infobox,site}
{+END}
{+START,IF,{$EQ,{ID},59}}
{$LOAD_PAGE,map,SagaofAblution}
{+END}
So by that, then shouldn't that bug not be present? Perhaps this is another bug?
I'll look over the rest of the stuff later. And BTW - I do have the Activities add-on.

I can't see any use of IF_PASSED in the code you posted. It can't do an EQ check if it's not passed without flagging an error, unless surrounded by an IF_PASSED.
If the OCF_MEMBER_PROFILE_SCREEN template is not correct, other tabs may not be showing.
