I presume that you upgraded your 1.1.4 forum to the 20 B3 P and now want to roll back, right?
Did you backup the database of the 1.1.4 prior to the upgrade?
You would need the database back to 1.1.4 in order to do this. There is no physical way to do this unless you manually rewrote your database back to 1.1.4 style and overwrited all of your files in SMF except for Settings_bak.php and Settings.php.
yes I did back up my site and data base but I have been running it on 2.0 since the 17th have over 100 new members and 1000's of new posts and attachments
any why to get a list of changes so I can manully conver the data base back I am going blind thru the data base finding the changes and changing the sql as I go
there is no way to change a 2.0 back to 1.1.x
either you stick with 2.0 at this point, or restore your previous backup and lose the last x days of data.
I suppose you COULD try going through the upgrade SQL files... but I seriously doubt anyone on the team will be working on a downgrade utility.

To roll back to the 1.1.4., you must install a fresh 1.1.4 forum and restore the most recent backup that you made from before you upgraded your forum to the 2.0. (i.e. the backup when your forum was still 1.1.4 version). But note, that all the posts, topics, members etc that were added 2hile you were using the 2.0 will be lost
Edit: Kindred beat me to it
so your telling me if I back up the database from 2.0 as it is now
and then up it to a new data base and then change the tables back to the 1.14 version
or
edit the sql of the 2.0 back up to reflect the 1.14 tables it won't work
??????
you could try either one of those... but we have no way for you to do it... so you're pretty much on your own
Why not just stay with 2.0?
Kindred, 2.0 is still has many bugs and is in beta and isn't recommended to use on live sites. ;)
lightning_strike,
If you wish to keep your members that you've had you would yes, have to manually go through the .sql file and downgrade it by hand.
brian... I know the status of 2.0
I am using it on a live site, myself, however....

Kindred knows it better than you and me that the 2.0 still has bugs ;)
@lightning_strike, what is the reason that you want to downgrade? Is it because of some bugs you came across?
well I have down a down grade and got everything back maybe a few attachments mis not sure
I loaded a fresh 1.14 then went to the database on two computers I displayed the new data base and with the other I went thru ever table found the upgrades and changed them back then went to the admin panel and switched back to the old data base and everything came back still have a few packages but I amd my users are glad to be back
I went back becuase too many thing did not work and all the packages that the users liked were gone plus had a lot of permission issues
if any one needs help to go back you can get me at
