I now look at every WordPress entreaty to upgrade with trepidation.
It has pappened twice now - once from 2.something to 3 and now to 3.2 from the last one.
I upgrade one blog, great, another, great, then...
The Admin area breaks!
No menu on the left, the links don't work - can't even log out.
I'm not using some weird unknown host either - Hostgator.
So, what do I do now? Throw away a couple of years work and reinstall? I'd rather give up on the whole idea, than simply Start Again.
Yes, I know I should back up - it's one of the reasons I was upgrading, so as to install the backup plugin.
Anyone got any ideas? One would be a Roll-Back, or Undo Upgrade button...

Rename your plugins folder to /plugins-OLD

Knowledge is power!
It fixed the complete crash problem.
On looking at the contents of that folder, I saw three plugins that had been updated. The first one I chose was "What Would Seth Godin Do" so I removed it, renamed the dir to its original state and everything is fine again.
Whatever Seth might have done, I don't want him to do it to my blog again!
