If you run anything besides IE you'll probably not want to upgrade to wordpress 2.8 as there are javascript errors that will not allow you to write or edit posts.

So far I have tested this in latest firefox and opera.

Stay on 2.7.

Hahaha. That's why I'm not an "early adopter" on any technology. I always wanna see who gets fried and how before I stick my head up. Shoot, I'm still running XP on just about everything, and I got one old laptop that I never switched out of NT just 'coz it's sooooo stable... besides I can run cool classic games on it :P
 
Well I'm sure I'm not the only one having the problems, there's tons of 2.8 threads on the official wordpress forum:

I'm sure you're not dude, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if it fucks up on me next time I use it, I was just saying I didn't notice any probs.

Thanks for pointing it out, I'm going to give it a good hammering now.
 
I had one site with an issue and one site with no issue, regardless of browser.

The one site with an issue I upgraded from 2.7.1. The problem was I wrote over my WP files with the upgraded files using FTP. This was the first time I tried this without turning off my plugins first. And I wasn't surprised when I got the "blank screen of death" - I blame my skipping turning off the plugins.

My other blog had a more recent install and I upgraded from within the admin. Everything worked fine.
 
yeah it's basically never an advantage to upgrade WP immediately before they have figured it out. what are even the advantages of 2.8?
 
i am always late to the party in upgrading.

it is always a mess. everybody is always in a rush to release stuff.. deadlines and all that.

gotta sit back like an aristrocrat
 
I use Firefox and I've upgraded over 15 sites to 2.8 already with 0 issues. Manually posted a ton of posts today and literally seen no problems, at all.

Are you running google gears? Because gears fucks everything up. If you have gears, disable it.
 
I am having error on 2.7 with opera... I always have to open IE in order to make a blog post...

Nope no google gears. I can type in the html section just fine, but when using the visual editor I get no toolbar above it and firebug is saying there are errors.
 
I have the opposite problem. I'm trying like hell to stay in 2.7 (I like to wait until all the dust settles too) and I think the thesis hooks plug in already upgraded cause I can't get it to install on my 2.7 site :(
 
Wish I read this first. I generally hold off since there always seems to be issues, but I fucked up this time.
