I have recently upgraded My Drupal website from v6.2 to v6.10 and I have noticed that most of the modules for making a social networking site are currently for v5.x.
What I would like to accomplish with my site is:
- User Interaction (users adding other users as 'friends or buddies')
- Some kind of Panel Module (changing the way the content is displayed)
- Advanced Profiles (Administrator Editable Fields for User profiles)
- Uploading of Photos/Pictures and Displaying in Gallery
- Chatting between different users
If anyone could tell me the name of the modules I can use in v6.x (If there is any) to get these results and how to use them and set them up as I have only been using Drupal for under 1 week.
If there is no modules in v6.x that can supply my needs is it possible to 'rollback' to version 5.x so those modules are available?
Thanks for you help =D

You can search for d6 versions easily using the "filter by compatibility" box on the modules page.
Also there's some good drupal social networking info available at http://socnet.shellmultimedia.com.

If you want to learn about social networking, you should consider, purchasing 3 books that I use.

http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keywords=Drupal%206%20Social%20Networkin... - Drupal 6 Social Networking
and the last
http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keywords=drupal%20for%20education&index=... - Drupal for Education and E-Learning
These books will walk you through a lot of you are talking about.
I own test book and think that each has it own merit.
Enjoy
