@Tech-Freak Stuff – the WP team does work hard and it’s also the community which helps out with details.

People have started using XSS vulnerabilities to hack in a lot of cases. I was taught XSS during my Information Security classes. Wordpress must surely be secure from XSS and good work from Wordpress team.

Yeah, especially because when it happens it’s because you usually take shortcuts rather than doing it properly. One day I will learn

@CLP – just wanted to say that your comments are landing in my spam because of the url you are using. I don’t mind the comments, but please don’t use the url you always use on my site as I always edit it. I’m not going to say the url, but you know exactly what I’m talking about.

As for your comment – I don’t think it’s a good idea to be on WP 2.7 as there have been many improvements and security patches. You will suffer more that you are way behind on updates. I urge you to rather make a full backup of your database and files/images and upgrade.

@Pallab – not to be funny, but why so long? Even if I had to copy all the WP files across, it would not take more than 3 minutes and that includes uploading my Thesis theme folder as well. Please explain in detail why so long?

@Extreme John – if you don’t have guest bloggers then you don’t have to update. I do understand your frustration, but updates will continue as long as users try and break sites. It’s for our own safety buddy.

I will update later today. But, I really wish that Wpress would also start releasing incremental update files. I am sure that most of the files from v2.85 haven’t even been touched. But, I would have to upload them all – which takes a 15-20 minutes.
And the built in auto-update never works for me.
