Didn't you make a backup before the upgrade or have a recent one?  Just upload that and you'll be back in the past. Toungue 
No as I said I lost everything when my PC packed up
Oh, sorry I missed that part.

Maybe you could convert your forum out to a different software, then convert back to MyBB 1.6 using the 1.6 version merge system?

Not sure. You should just stick with the new version and make it work, that's my advice.
If I could get pro portal to work on 1.8 I'd stay with it as that's the main problem or if someone made a portal like it .
^ what is the problem with proportal ? does it not work by changing compatibility line in the plugin file ?
I can't find a compatabilaty line it installs but after install the admin cp is blank think its something to do with the module_meta.php file found in admin/modules/portal folder as when u remove that file the admin cp comes back but still no pro portal settings
^ have you checked for related log entries in the server error log / MyBB error log
i also get this while installing proportal
