    I just logged into my admin to see that there is a "blog" that doesn't have a user attachted to it. If I go to that blog's URL I get a message that says WordPress isn't installed and to try using install.php? Is this someone trying to hack my site?

    Oh geez. Something si wrong. It is creating blog directory and users but not linking them.

    I have a couple of those as well. I doubt its a hacking attempt. My guess is that they removed themselves as the admin for some reason.

    Nah, the database went crazy last night. When someone would try to create a blog they would get a lot of header errors and errors that the database was full. I tried to repair the database but then there were others issues. Fortunately I only had one blog at that point so I just reinstalled everything from scratch using an older version that I haven't had any problems with on another account.

    I don't think the 9/16 or 9/18 installs are stable.

    Running the nightlies does have some risk. I doubt I'll update mine again until an official stable release comes out.

    But who knows, I could throw caution to the wind...
