Those couple of bug fixes don't effect me though so I'll wait for the next upgrade as I have quite a few WP sites. 'Don't fix it if it ain't broken' as they say. I do agree with keeping on top of upgrades though for the security benefits. .-= Mark´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.portablecargps.org/speed-camera-warnings.html" rel="nofollow">Speed Camera warnings</a> =-.

Wordpress is so young, but its constant development means it ages fast. Do upgrade, but it's worth remembering to back up your database, always! Upgrades can affect plugins as well, so if it worked for some or most people, it doesn't necessarily mean it will go smooth for everyone and a good backup saves a lot of tears.

As i have a problem with upgrading it automatically(from 2.9.1 to 2.9.2). So i dig out for a solution to upgrade it manually and i found out that my fantastico showed my wp is still in 2.8.2 version and instruct me to upgrade it to 2.8.6. But in the past i already upgrade my wp using the automatic upgrade feature from 2.8.2 to 2.9.1, the question is do i need to upgrade my wp at the fantatisco too? and why dont my fantastico wont automatically upgrade together like in my wp(at the tools panel)? thanx A great info on the decision to upgrade or not.

Sometimes it will; sometimes it won't. This affects every page, not just the dashboard although I first noticed it while trying to edit a post. I don't know for sure whether the problem was caused by the upgrade, but I am not having issues with any of my other sites loading and they are all on the same hosting account.
