Be careful dude, i upgraded to MyBB 1.8 i've done all steps correct, but i don;t know where's the problem, so i deleted my forum totally and i started a new forum !
1.backup all fiels and database first.

upgrading guidance
after upgrading MyBB version, custom theme templates need code changes and it requires a good amount of time & effort
upgrading guidance Wrote:Visit your Admin Control Panel, then go to Templates & Style > Templates > Find Updated Templates. This will show you a list of all the templates that have changed during the upgrade.
You can either revert these templates to their default - meaning all the changes you've made to it will be removed - or you can see a Diff Report which will show you exactly what's changed. If you have a custom theme installed, it is probably best that you look at the Diff Report and apply the changes you need.
it would be better to install a new good looking theme
compatible with MyBB 1.8.x and use it

My advice:
Do NOT spend time trying to update your 1.6.15 theme and templates when upgrading to 1.8!
I spent an entire month trying to do this before realizing that the ONLY sensible way is to start fresh with a 1.8 compatible theme.
I strongly advise against any attempt to continue to use 1.6 themes for 1.8. Not only did everything go smoothly and work well with the 1.8 theme, my forum also got a new fresh design. And it wasn't that much work to tweak the new theme like I wanted it.
