 * Guys, pardon my relative dumbness, but I have yet to find out how to post a new
   topic on WordPress.org…. Can anyone point me to the right link and if necessary
   indicate if there is any issue with IE7 RC1. Merci

 * Still doesn’t work even though I got this:
 * WordPress loaded…
    Upgrade functions loaded… Object cache flushed…
 * Database made current…
    Data upgraded… Rewrite rules flushed… Object cache flushed…

 * In addition I recently posted a story and it appeared 8 times!! Of course, I 
   couldn’t delete it either. I have tried adapting htaccess to get some php errors
   but nothing shows. This is pretty desperate – any ideas anyone?

 * enquirer32 – have you checked your apache error logs? Anything showing up there?
 * Has your host recently turned on mod_security?

 * After your upgrade, did you run wp-admin/upgrade.php?

 * OK.. interesting…
    It now works. There were various problems at my server over
   the weekend and since then the deletions work. They confirmed that they had changed
   some of the call-out ports for WordPress (which apparently needs port 80) as 
   a security measure. Now it works.
