 * Trying desperately to upgrade to 3.2.1 hopoing it will sort out the server errors
   i am getting but I cannot get it to upgrade!
 * If I click upgrade (top bar) it says I have no page. Then when it does get to
   the page it refuses to upgrade by hanging and then stopping.
 * Last time I finally got in, tried an upgrade and it is giving me my header, sidebar
   and a lovely pure white area with nothing at all going on.
 * Slightly angry now as I have a site that I have been told should be updated but
   which I cant update!
 * Have been trying this all night.

 * Then try doing a manual upgrade. It’s not that difficult.

 * After giving up last night adn going to bed in disgust, I came online this morning
   and the site told me I needed to upgrade (as normal) so with no hope I just clicked
   and it went through the whole thing straight away.
 * Unbelievable.
 * Thanks everyone. All updated and I have NO idea how LOL
