UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support Downgrade to 6.4.3

Is this Possible to do from 6.5b4 ?

We would not advise doing so. Why do you wish to downgrade?

Many Complaints on 6.5b4 from my users = reduction in my community size etc. Mostly they do not like the little arrow thing... Also there are complaints from my moderators about not being able to Edit there forums anymore...

It has taken away from my community since we are primarily a gaming community with free boards available to guilds clans etc. I have for the most part stayed out of the private forums of the various clan leaders but now they are unable to edit there boards... edit users permissions to use there forums.... and they are also unable to view statistics which they had available to them previously.

The Bug with editing users has also been problematic for myself and my other admin since it causes us to have to take extra steps to change users permissions for different groups etc.

I like the layout of the new admin panel but overall I do not like the workarrounds I have to do and my moderators do not like there virtual inabiltiy to edit their forums and their group members.

Ack -
6.5 is BETA
So you really shouldn't run on a live community unless you're able to fix/change stuff yourself.

It's always near impossible to go backwards a version - as the database structure changes with each version. Particularly a version like this where vitually everything changed.

If you wanted to go back, you'd need to restore a 6.4 copy of your database (which doesn't have any posts made after you upgraded) then restore 6.4x files.

I believe it's been posted the arrow thing with new posts will return to normal functionality in beta5. There's a mod at threadsdev to give moderators access to the control panel to edit their forums I think.

Tis the trouble with beta. I know this won't help you much now. But betas are usually unstable, so unless you can fix/change things yourself in between versions to avoid problems, you should setup a test forum to test the beta and bang on it hard before rolling it out to a live forum. Particularly a beta version where so much stuff was totally rewritten (the control panel).

Best bet is to sit tight, now that you're on 6.5 and keep upgrading each time a new beta comes out, then the bugs will slowly go away. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
