Not that I know of. It's not possible unless you have a backup of your vB 3.x database and are able to restore that backup.

Don't quote me on it - but it's what I know to be true. You might ask over at http://vbulletin.com or http://vbulletin.org if you have valid license.

I'm sorry but I completely disagree with what your requesting to do. vBulletin 3 is an old out of date script that's no longer supported.

Can I ask what is the reason you want do downgrade?

No it is not. vBulletin 3.x has not been EOLed that I know of has it?
vB 3.8 is a great script actually, whereas vB 4.x is still ungoing the myriad of bug fixes that should have been completed before the script went vB 4 Gold.

Besides - if it's so outdated - why is KWWHunction using 3.8.7


@ Pachbell
Ha! Kinda tricky. That could work, but it's not quite a "downgrade" persey.
vB perhaps should have offered a downgrade script, but the business model is to get all licensed members to switch ((aka pay for)) vB 4

Thanks for replying all. @happy, i just like vb3 than vb4.
I have successfully downgraded forum software to vb3 but getting lots of errors.

You can downgrade easy.. but, why ? Do you know what is difference between vb3 and vb4 and why u should still on vb4? My suggestion,never back to vb3...

[Jass?]

vBulletin 4 is not that bad, as you might heard from other people who are using vb3..

I am using vBulletin 4 on www.warez-home.net , & never had any problem.

Can someone please help me to solve the errors coming.....
