Too much variety across the sites. I could see one shop's code breaking because of a consistent coding problem, but the upgrade breaks every site.As to why, we haven't got a clue. And why should it happen once we move to 3.04+? I didn't see any major changes in the recent revisions to WebCat, so I don't know why to problem. I dread the move to the .acgi because the performance is going to be greatly affected, but it's worth a try to see if that's the problem.Who knows.
