I suggested to support that they might look into it, and they asked if this happens both in Firefox and in IE. As it happens, it's only a problem in Firefox, and not in IE. (A mystery). Since it take me less energy to just open the other browser window (and I prepare my postings in Nvu), I guess I'll be using IE for posting until the next release -- and then I'll try Firefox again.

I upgraded the second I heard about WP 1.5.2, and was very happy. For some reason, my gut feels queasy every time I think about upgrading to 2.0. It just doesn't smell right. And the more people I see who are actually quite bright and have lots of geek skills also having trouble with this upgrade, the more I think it's just not worth it. Even worse, I am about to start on a brand new WordPress site for a client, and I am seriously considering installing 1.5.2 instead of 2.0, because it sounds so awful. I hope WP isn't going to shoot itself in the foot like so many other programs have. It’s weird – I’m usually one of the first people to upgrade.

So, it is good to hear that most users upgraded easily. Maybe this week, I'll finally take the plunge. Thanks.
