Otto- There are other features of 2.1 I like a lot, and I didn’t spend my time upgrading to go backwards.

I don’t mind the fact that all categories, be they post or link categories, are edited and created in one admin panel. I don’t like that they removed the ability for me to set things like their order on my blogroll, what comes before and after them (like < li>) or other controls I used to have. Simplying is fine but losing the ability to control how they are displayed, ability you previously had, is not advancement.

Power in software, especially in a blog content manager like WordPress, is the ability to make it do and look how you want. This new version took some of that power from me, and that’s what I dislike about it.

I fail to see how changing a feature that gave you a great deal of control over something like blogroll categories (i.e. what order they are, what cames before and after them, etc) and make it take that control away is an ‘advancement’.

I greatly liked 2.0.7’s method of dealing with categories.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, yes… I did that today. I’ll see if the problem disappears.
