I remember on one of their upgrades they change some code from something like "get_categories" to "get_cats" and screwed up ALL plugins that even remotely used categories in their code. That's why even with b/u I will do mine on weekends, that gives me 2 days to make things right. ;-) Hey Ghillie,

I wait until 12am on Sunday night and pray it works when I'm done. I can't have my blog down during the day or screwed up when customers visit. Upgrading wordpress is always a scary thing for me.
