Yes, that's what I would expect. But why this is not working - at least not for me? May be a datastructure change (elgg 1.5.x upgraded)?
What is the page_owner in this case?
So what exactly do you see on that page (without your modifications)? How does it change when you change someone else's username to the URL? Did I understand correctly that it thinks page owner is always admin no matter whose username you use?
Oh, thank you for answering here, I found my mystake - I have an url issue with the name. OK, if you use a not exiting username, you will get all groups back: .../community/groups/member/xxxx

The data directory structure based on user creation date (2009/09/14/...) was actually introduced in Elgg 1.7. Are you sure that the upgrade process finishes successfully?
Have you tried upgrading first to 1.7 and then to 1.8? (AFAIK the upgrade process should however work regardless of the original version.)
The change in the data directory structure was introduced with Elgg 1.7. When updating a site from a pre-1.7 version the data directory should get re-structured automatically when running upgrade.php. If this fails when upgrading a site directly to the latest Elgg 1.8 version there might be a bug somewhere - which would be worth to be reported on github.
I remember someone asked if it would be possible to upgrade a site from Elgg 1.0 to 1.8 a few months back. I don't remember anymore if he had a problem with upgrading, too. I don't think he ever reported back if it worked or not. But it was suggested to do the upgrade in steps if it fails to work in one go. So, upgrading 1.5 -> 1.6 -> 1.7 -> 1.8 might work better. If this works it would still be nice to tell the core-devs about the failed direct upgrade.
Thank you all, I restarted the upgrade from 1.5 to 1.8 on a LINUX machine.
As I noticed, on my first try on a windows machine, the directories where created, but the files where missing.
My try on a LINUX machine worked.
But both times a had an error (don't remember the ID, googeling for this error did not bring up any results). If I reload the upgrade.php, the message appeared, that there is already an upgrade in progress.
I deleted the new created lock table and was able with a reload to perform the upgrade.
But I still had and have many issues. For example I have issues with Entity properties like title with the UTF 8 charcters - (german) - I wonder why some data like description are displayed well and other like title and tags are not.
I had an issue withe the group icon, it's to long here to describe I think.
I had another issue with elgg not using the correct database - I don't know exactly where the problem was coming from. In fact I'm using another mysql resource additional to the elgg ressource, and elgg contacted (sometimes) that instead of the database, given in the settings.php. I realised this because I had an sql error of missing field admin in the elgg_userser_entitiy table (true, not existing in 1.5) This issue is not a big problem for me, because i will rename the database back to old database name, when I'm going live with this. But that's crazy.
What I also have to do is to create a forward mapping for old URL's like /mod/blog/everyone.php to /blog/all
and some more stuff....
