Dunno about the gingerbread man but going from 1.8 to 1.9.4 most mods would update their config files to the newer settings/layout/etc. Going backwards from that, (1.9.4 back to 1.8) 1.8 wouldn't be able to understand the new settings and so would start over. Only guessing though.
I just started using the 1.7.10 version (1.9.1.1) because I've been having issues with 1.8.9 and 1.9.4 so I don't know if anybody else has noticed this before or not, but the coords shown has the y coord as the eye level not the feet level like you have it in the 1.8.9 version. You probably don't consider that a 'bug' but it does seem off to me when I'm building things and I have to remember to subtract 1 when I look at my coords so I don't mess things up. *shrug*
(that, and I don't feel like digging through 45 pages. )
lava has nothing to do with it. just soul sand and torches. I guess you can say lava helps because of the light given off, but you don't NEED to have lava around it like water and wheat.
edit: and no you can't. nether warts will NOT grow in the overworld, regardless of putting soul sand there or not.
your IP address most likely got changed. that's one of the problems of running a server of any kind from a home pc. unless you get a static ip from your ISP, there's no telling how long/short a time that you have the same IP. go to whatismyip.com to get your current external ip and give that to your friends.
whenever there are conflicts like this, the best (and really, only) way to track down the conflict is to start over with a fresh copy of minecraft and add each mod one at a time, loading the game between each install to see if it's still working. when it stops, you'll know which mod it was that caused the problem.
sometimes javaw.exe (or whatever the normal java executable is) is still running even though minecraft itself is closed. open your task manager and end the java process. that should free up your minecraft.jar so you can mod it.

eh....what?

Please don't pester mod creators about when they'll update their mods. They'll update if/when they can.
