Hello.
I am a staff member of this mybb site: http://www.ff6hacking.com/forums/portal.php
Anyways, we (the staff) upgraded to 1.8 the other day, and the main person who was doing the upgrade who knew what they were doing unfortunately had to take a leave of absence for an undetermined amount of time, and the amount of work needed to get 1.8 up and working with our custom templates is way over my head. We also have about 4 active custom themes, so a lot of work would be needed to get them all up and running correctly. As of now, sadly there are far too many issues with the latest upgrade for us.
I am wondering how easy and possible it is to revert back to 1.6.10 which is what we had. We wisely made a backup of the ftp sever files and a site backup. Would this just be a matter of downloading 1.6.10 and installing it again? Or could I make a fresh installation of 1.6.15? Also if someone could explain to me how to use the site backup files to restore it back to that I'd really appreciate it - the backup files seem to be an sql file, which I am totally inexperienced with.
Also on a side question, while trying to get our shoutbox back to how it was, I SOMEHOW made a mistake where all the embed images and videos are no longer working, it just shows the text link... Might someone know the piece of code for that and where to find it and how to fix it or what I might have done to cause that? Even though I will be reverting hopefully to the backup, I'd still like to know because as far as I know I messed with nothing that could cause that, just messing with the shoutbox code for the index and portal.
Thanks,
Mike.
