[DevilMind]

Hi,
i have IPB 2 (trial), but i want to convert to IPB 1.3. How can i do that?
Or how to instal IPB 1.3 to other directory, but all posts and forums from IPB 2 to be Here on IPB 1.3.

Thanks!

you can't, sorry..

[DevilMind]

Can you tell me why, or what can i do.

Can i move the users and the passwors from IPB 2 to IPB 1.3?

[wimpie]

you can't either, ipb 2 is using a different way for passwords.

with version 1.3 passwords are only md5 hashed, with version 2 i think they using a combination of md5 with salt hashed passwords, meaning of it is improved security, and the passwords without the salt part are different hashed than the hashed passwords from the 1.3 version

What about convert member&pass from ibp 1.3 to 2.0 ?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but the entire 1.3 database is transferred to 2.0, not just the members and password. It's going from 2.0 back to 1.3 that people have problems with, pretty much because it can't be done.
