 * I thought you should know that your latest update causes the dreaded white screen
   of death.
 * I removed the plugin, put in the old one and everything came back to life. Then
   I turned the plugging off, removed it with an FTP client, uploaded the new version
   via FTP and turned it on in the control panel and everything worked fine.
 * So what seems to be broken is the process of upgrading from the control panel.
 * Oh, and by the way, I’ve had the same problem on several installations.

 * check your server error logs from the time when you upgraded, otherwise a white
   screen doesn’t tell me much.

 * I had similar problem, I simply reinstalled the whole thing from scratch.

 * internetmarketer, please check your error logs. If there is a ‘white screen of
   death’, there will ALWAYS be something in the server (apache, nginx, or lighttpd)
   error logs to indicate why. Without that information, I have no idea where to
   even begin troubleshooting the issue.
