I've been a pretty faithful user of Wordpress MU for almost the last two years. I just upgraded from 1.3.3 to 1.5.1, and I'm super pissed.
At first, everything seemed to be great. A couple of broken plugins, that I've been dilligently trying to fix for the last six hours. Then, the other author I have on the system ran into problem 'one'.
He uploaded his images for the post just fine, but when it came to inserting them, it bunged up huge. Selecting the 'thumbnail' option did NOTHING. Problem 2 comes in when the code inserts:
<a
href='http://thewatchtowerpodcast.com/files/2008/06/thestand2.jpg'><img
src="http://thewatchtowerpodcast.com/files/2008/06/thestand2.jpg"
class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp image 180" />
</a>
instead of:
<a href='http://thewatchtowerpodcast.com/files/2008/06/thestand2.jpg'>
<img src="http://thewatchtowerpodcast.com/files/2008/06/thestand2-150x150.jpg"
class="alignleft"
size="thumbnail"/>
</a>
forget to close some quotes? Why would the class be "alignleft size-thumbnail wp image 180" ???
Then, (problem 3!)one of my plugins (that's supposed to be cool for WP 2.5.1) messed up not only my front page, but my themes widget editing page - cuts it off where it's supposed to appear. I deactivate, reinstall it, and attempt to undo what I figured I did to the options to cause it - and it's still set to the settings I had changed it to, which means I had to go into the db to fix it.
Then I found problem number four.
Why the hell is the entirety of Photo Matt's blog in my database???
Look guys - I most of you are doing this on your spare time, and it's all GPL and what not - but this is the sloppiest bit of programming I have EVER seen, and I'm not even a remotely decent programmer. If it's not ready for release, DON'T RELEASE IT.
