After months of ignoring the "A new version of WordPress is available! Please update now" message on my dashboard, I finally took the time to download and install the update to v2.5.1. Bad idea. Not only did I immediately get a nasty undefined function call (remedied with a simple require statement), but the new version is really slow. Really, really slow. Like drunken turtle slow. I tried posting an entry, only to have the auto-save draft feature (which for some reason kept saving every 3 seconds instead of every minute or so) prevent me from publishing the post. After several unsuccessful attempts and three browser crashes, I said "F— it," and went in and uninstalled 2.5.1 and put 2.3.2 back in.
So, for the 0.00072 readers on here, just an FYI that all my smilies are messed up as I forgot to back up my functions.php file,
which had all the shortcuts that called the smiley images. Will fix that eventually, once I edit the quicktags. (Also forgot to back that file up. Shoot.)
