The biggest mistake happened to our forum was when one of our admins upgraded the forum from latest vb4 to vb5. Lots of bugs and loading issues and we dont want to deal with it forever.

Whats the best way to downgrade?

Unfortunately, restoring vbulletin 4 backup is not best option since its already a month old and there are already lots of posts and activities.

Thanks!

That is something you would probably have to pay someone to do, that has done a few vB5 to vB4 downgrades.

It is not a simple thing, since all the tables are different.

Best bet it to post in the paid requests section, Requests for Paid Services

Just make sure you read the sticky threads in that section before hiring anyone.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
