That’s why I used that example. It spoke to my point and, I thought, was obviously tongue-in-cheek. (I acknowledge, however, that I did refer to the“ security issue” as a “bug,” and I will try very hard from here on out never to use the term “bug” to describe a “security issue” again.) * When I click on the “upgrade available” link in my control panel, it takes me to the WP download page, which does NOT contain any sort of information describing what, in fact, this latest upgrade actually does. * Perhaps others are born knowing that, * > _“in this thread.

And, in fact, that you mimicked something on a thread somewhere doesn’t mean that there is an explanation of the upgrade on the download page anyway. * But I was hardly “whining.” As I said, in my post, “In any case, WordPress is not only awesome, it’s free, so please take this only as a friendly suggestion, and thanks for a great product and all y’all’s hard work.” * Incidentally, I have no problem ftp-ing files between any of the dozen or so domains I run sites on, I haven’t used AOL since 1997, and I actually leave in WordPress links and attributions where I use it. * Craig * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [WORDPRESS 2.3.3 IS AVAILABLE!!!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-233-is-available/) * [madcap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madcap/) * (@madcap) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-233-is-available/page/2/#post-691926) * Just my two cents for what it’s worth: * If the choice is between less frequent upgrades and waiting longer for the slight tweaks and improvements on the one hand and more frequent upgrades and having each slight tweak available the minute it’s ready on the other hand, I opt for the former. * Some folks may not find it a pain to upgrade, but I do, and ignoring the upgrade means putting up with those messages all over the place alerting everyone to the new upgrade. * This latest upgrade (2.3.3) doesn’t even let us know what the upgrade is for. For all we know, the upgrade does nothing more than fix a bug that allows the possibility someone might see draft versions of posts. I, for one, wouldn’t even care about that, as even my drafts are profound. * Just kidding, of course, but, perhaps it would be possible to allow us to turn off the notices of the new upgrades, at least? * In any case, WordPress is not only awesome, it’s free, so please take this only as a friendly suggestion, and thanks for a great product and all y’all’s hard work. * Craig Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)
