    I upgraded and immediately I had some errors. I resolved those error by re-uploading the wp-admin folder.

    i have updated all my sites, without any errors.
    Update it from your webhosting account instead of manual updating.

    I upgraded a couple of days ago. So far no problems. The two methods I prefer are written out on my post about Word Press 2.6. I use both the plugin and the updating through Fantastico.

    It took me a matter of seconds with the plugin. The only problem I had on this update was that it did not reactivate my plugins but that was no biggie, I just did it myself. Everything else went smooth on the last two updates.

    Yes, I got the plugin after I read your post, uploaded it, and then used to to upgrade one of my new blogs to 2.6. Everything went smoothly with no errors or problems at all.
