Cool. I appreciate it r-a-y…

Ok, so I downloaded the version from the link r-a-y posted and uploaded it to my server and it suddenly tells me that I created my blog with MU 2.9.1.1. How is it possible that I upload the old version but end up with the new version?
I need the 2.8.6 so the privacy component would work …. anyone an idea what’s going on or how I can fix that problem.
Thanks a lot!!
Old wpmu versions are all here:
https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/tags
If you first installed 2.9.x the version number is registered in the db
so “it’s normal”… but read this before procrastinating to much:

I did download the 2.8.6 version from there (r-a-y did as well I believe), set up a new database and installed the 2.8.6 version. When I then log into the backend it tells me I am running version 2.9.1.1 (it says it in the footer and does not remind me to upgrade).
I think that is really weird….
Ok, I figured out the problem. Whenever I deleted the ‘old’ database I created a new one with the same name at the same time. This caused the problems I have had.
Thank you to everyone who responded!
