 * Quick rundown of the errors I’m having on default installation of WordPress 2.7.1
   auto upgraded to 2.8.
 * All errors **SO FAR** seem to be on Posts page. All errors confirmed with IE7,
   IE8 and FF3.
 * 1. Screen options and Help pull downs do not work.
    2. Tags do not work. Can 
   not add tags. 3. None of the tables are able to collapse. 4. None of the “Status”,“
   Visibility” or “Published on” edit links work.
 * I will try going to back to 2.7.1 and upgrading again manually.

 * Also having trouble with 2.8:
 * In Edit Post, the toolbar (bold, add link, etc) is gone.
 * Also, post text only appears after I click HTML and then click back to VISUAL–
   then all HTML tags appear as well.
 * Anyone else having troubles with this?
 * Thanks

 * FeedWordPress plugin doesn’t work with it. Creates HTTP request error.
 * If you have your security set on your computer, like I do…
    Go to appearance 
   editor to edit templates and you are asked to allow access. Paste something and
   it pastes the letter “v” because of your command. CTRL + F to find something,
   then try to click on it and you’re brought to the top of the page, so you have
   to scroll down again.

 * I noticed that some plugins (those that dealt with tags) broke the add media 
   buttons and the other publishing buttons. I disabled those plugins and things
   came back.
 * I still can’t add tags on one site that never used the same plugins… so I’m confused.

 * My ENTIRE BLOG IS GONE!! I can’t access the dashboard, or even look at the front
   end. I get the following error:
 * Warning: require(/var/www/localhost/htdocs/wp-includes/compat.php) [function.
   require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/localhost/
   htdocs/wp-settings.php on line 246

 * Ironically enough, I am only having problems with the “tags” widget. I think 
   that some of the problems I am reading about here are problems with your web 
   hosts. I host my own site, and with the exception of my tags issue, the rest 
   of WordPress 2.8.2 works flawlessly. JD

 * My problem is with the dashboard navigation buttons. They are there, but they
   are extremely small and have no embedded text to identify them. It’s a major 
   inconvenience to have to scroll over them and wait for the options to appear.

 * You’ll need OZH Drop down Menu..that’ll solve your problemo.
