MyBB 1.8 Themes? OR How do I downgrade to 1.6?

[DudeThatsErin]

Hey!

So, I am looking for some themes that have been updated to 1.8... anyone have any?

OR

I am also looking for ways to downgrade to 1.6. I have a backup of my site (thankfully to Softaculous) before I upgraded but I made forum + posts after the update. How do I keep all of the changes I've made since the 1.8 update but downgrade to 1.6 so I have access to everything 1.6.15 had access to?
Do I have to remake all of the posts? I can by simply writing all of the topics down but I would rather not as this takes up more time than I would like.

Any help is greatly appreciated!<br /><br />-- September 7th, 2014, 8:43 pm --<br /><br />Anyone?

Once you upgrade I don't think there is a way to go back and keep the post you have on the new version.

Yeah, there isn't unfortunately. 🙁

I had to repost everything. The site is down right now but it will be back up soon.

Is it possible to use the Merge System to merge the 1.8 install into a 1.6 install?

I find that highly unlikely, however an upgrade from 1.6 to 1.8 is supposedly possible I believe.

The update is possible you just need to use new themes and new plugins. I'm pretty sure someone will run a cheap theme upgrade service somewhere.
