Upgrade Question?

[goatlady]

Hey- I have a quick question.. how do I DOWN grade  to SMF 1.1 RC2 from 1.0.7?
There is hardly anything available for 1.0.7 and Im having issues with the default theme anyway.. so if anyone knows how to downgrade.. please.. fill me in.. Thanks

I guess you drop your DB tables and install SMF 1.0.7?

"Downgrade to 1.1 from 1.0.7" ? errr....is that upgrade then..or did you mean to 1.0.7 from 1.1?

In any case, downgrading from 1.1 to 1.0.7 is not possible, too much has changed in db tables.

well I assumed it would be a downgrade... but thenyouknow what they say about assuming..
I thought the latest version was 1.0.7??
But I see most everyone is using SMF 1.1 RC2 and I Thought I saw an UPgrade from SMF 1.1 RC2 to 1.0.7 ?? I could be wroing.. wouldn't be the first time and prob not the last 
It just seems like not much is available for 1.0.7.. which is what I have..
Can you enlighten me? Thanks for the help..  I keep getting an error in my default theme when I click on a post
It says:

Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/default/Display.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.
You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.

I can use the "Amber"theme but it has minimal errors but at least it works even though not fully.. (I know it was not made for 1.0.7)
TIA for any help goatlady

1.0.7 is the "stable" release of smf at the moment 1.1rc2 is beta but most people use that because theres a wider range of mods and themes for it , and if your using a Amber theme that was made for rc2 on a 1.0.7 forum..........well your obviously going to have problems , my advice : upgrade to rc2

[goatlady]

Oddly enough, the Amber theme is what works with the least amount of issues at the moment.. it's the default I am having the most problems with.. what is the easist way to change from 1.0.7 to 1.1rc2?? Which download do I want to use? I've been messing with this non stop for 3 days now..  I recently changed from phpbb because it didn't do what I wanted it to do.. I haven't really been able to push my forum as of yet.. and I would like to get it going soon..  but not before I get all the snags worked out..

Again TIA for any help

I believe all you have to do is download the upgrade found here http://www.simplemachines.org/download/index.php?thanks;filename=smf_1-1-rc2_upgrade.zip then you should be set.
