Hi everyone, I've got a quick question.
Upgrading to 6.1 seems to have caused weird file upload issues on my site, ( as reported by others here: http://drupal.org/node/226653), so I was wondering what's involved with going back from 6.1 to 6.0?

Drupal doesn't support downgrading. If you've already altered your DB with the 6.1 upgrade your only hope is that you were smart, and followed the age old best practice of taking a backup of your DB and files before you updated. If you did, then you can easily import the backup you made.

Well, that's good to know at
Well, that's good to know at least.
Problem is, I upgraded to 6.1 awhile ago, so the backups from before that are old and outdated. Oh well.

have you considered, updating to the most recent release which is 6.2 to keep yourself as secure and bug free as possible ?
it may also help your problem.

Well, upgrading to 6.2 always seems to cause issues like this:

This happens EVERY SINGLE time I try to update to 6.2. I've followed everything in the upgrade.txt file to the letter, and yet it still happens.

Seems the problem in the thread you link to was solved through file permisisons
reading the release notes of 6.2 and comparing the 6.1 and 6.2 settings.php files doesn't show any changes to my eye. That said, you can ignore replacing the sites folder.

I think my database may perhaps be corrupt or something. My site's been completely down for a month, and I'm just going to have to flush it and start again from scratch soon.

To be more specific, even after updating to 6.2, the site still says it's running 6.1. AND I can't get anything in my administration menu other than:
* User management
* Reports
* Help
It makes NO sense.

have you tried flushing your menu cache table?

No idea how to do that. Is it something that can be done from Drupal, or should I use phpMyAdmin?
And would this also be why Drupal reports that I'm still running 6.1 as well?
Also, if I try to go to one of the areas not listed above (site configuration, for example), it says I'm not authorized even when I'm logged in as user 1.

cache tables can be emptied in phpmyadmin yes.
Drupal reporting 6.1 could be cache I suppose, but I'll venture a guess that its also possible your site wasn't updated correctly with regards to files uploaded. When you update do you remove all files and folder, or do you tend to overwrite them ?
with regards to user1 not being recognized , you may want to try clearing your sessions table in the DB also.
This 6.0 install, was it from drupal.org ? or some one click method provided by your host ?

It was my own
It was my own installation.
My only guess is that I could have upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1 incorrectly, and now a database or something is messed up. When I initially did the 6.0 -> 6.1 upgrade, I just overwrote files. I used FlashFXP, though, and the only error it reported was with default.settings.php. I found out my sites\default folder was set at 555 instead of 755, and when I changed it, I was able to overwrite default.settings.php
Also strangely, the site didn't break immediately up-on upgrading to 6.1. I was able to post a few items and even get up a podcast (around 200MB) without issues before this issue started happening.
OK, I think I've decided to
OK, I think I've decided to just go ahead and rebuild the site from scratch.
Will I at least be able to keep my users by re-importing my users table into the new database?
