Several other Sys Admins are experiencing the same behavior. The lead developer has deemed this a fix it yourself bug. He was not expecting people to upgrade large existing sites. I am waiting to see if someone else has time to write a script that will rename the existing thumbnails and update the appropriate table in the db.

There is a very strange issue which only affects users who had blogs before the end of August. It seems that the update to the newer version of the software has “lost” the thumbnail images for uploaded photos. The thumbnails are still on the server but the upload browser doesn’t seem to know this. It is most likely an issue with .htaccess and Apache re-write rules. I have contacted the developers to see if there is an easy fix.

In the mean time you can edit the html of your posts and just add .thumbnail infront of the file extension.

On the main blog there is a Recent Posts section in the left column. It would seem that the plugin responsible for pulling the recent posts has a problem with the Hello world! posts. For some reason it links all of these posts back to the main blog instead of the blog they are posted on. I’m talking with other developers to see if there is a solution. I think there is a different approach all together. It would be nice if we had a student that could look at the code with me.

If you hover over the buttons you’ll see keyboard shortcuts. You can use these to style text instead of the buttons. None of the developers have a clue about how to fix it. Suggestions include clearing the browser cache by hitting CTRL+F5 on Windows or Shift+Reload on Mac while on the Write Post page. This didn’t work for me, but maybe it will for you.

There was an error in the Ocadia theme’s comment.php file. I have fixed it. If you notice something wrong with a theme please comment on this post or send an e-mail to the admin.

I changed the background on the admin bar to be all black instead of fading from gray to black. It makes it easier to read the links on the left. I also changed the main blog a little. You now have the two most recent posts, the five most active blogs, and the five most recently updated blogs in the sidebar. I took the most recent posts out of the main text area. I also changed the login form so that logged in users get the option to create another blog.

It would appear that the bold, italic, strikethrough, bullet list, numbered list, subscript, and superscript buttons appear to be broken. I am in contact with the developer community to see if there is an easy fix. Until such time you can use the HTML button to view the source and add <code><b>, <i>, <ul>,<ol>,<sub>, <sup></code> tags to get the desired output.

I added a plugin to tell users how much space they have remaining for uploads. It can be found in the Dashboard area of the blog. I have a few more changes to make before I am done for a while. I am in the process of creating a footer plugin that will add the disclaimer to the footer of all templates without me having to edit them. Of course this requires me to edit all the themes again since I added in the disclaimer and now I have to take it out. I also got some love in the forums for figuring out how to fix the blogroll on some older themes.

It wasn’t a bug with WPMU but with a plugin. The sideblog plugin doesn’t play well with MU and was causing the multiple posts.

We are now on r733. You shouldn’t notice a differnce between rc4 and r733. There is one bug that I am working with the developers to resolve. Posts in multiple categories are duplicated in the blog.
