Wordpress 2.7

…is not out yet, but there are some features I’m looking forward to. You can find a complete list at the WP Development Updates, but I’m just going to list the ones that I like:

New admin panel layout with better menus and navigation. Hopefully it’ll be something like what the Lighter Menus plugin does.
Dragging and dropping of boxes in the write/edit pages. You can also remove those boxes now, in addition to collapsing and expanding them. Yay
Inline editing of post and pages on your site’s pages. Yay for less clicking and convenience.
Reply to comments from admin. I’m guessing it’ll be somewhat similar to what Better Comment Manager does.
Threaded comments!
Sticky posts. Again, one less plugin we need to install.
Automatic upgrade of WordPress. This could be a good or bad, since there are files I have changed (like functions.php) that I don’t feel like re-doing each time I upgrade.

Overall I’m looking forward to 2.7 coming out, but it’s nothing I can’t wait for. What about you guys? Any particular features (that I listed or you found on the Dev Updates) that you’re looking forward to?Error processing request

Another upgrade again?! Geez I HATE upgrading WP. I skipped 2.4 and 2.5. At least the threaded comments is something to look forward to.

This looks like it’s going to be a better update for sure!! Embeded thread comments is going to work wonders, I will definitely enjoy that… but hopefully it is not hard to customize as right now I am using that plugin already.

Would you like to exchange links? I would like to add your link on my site.

@ Katy: Well, I have no idea when 2.7 is coming out, but I’m not looking forward to the upgrading part either. I tend to overwrite my edited files, causing myself more trouble . But yay for threaded comments!

@ Destiny: It’s about time they included the threaded comments feature! I tried the plugin before, and I agree, a pain in the butt to customize. I’d love to exchange links with you. Adding it right now c:

I tried the comment thread plugin too, and don’t really care for it. My question is, will the original commenter be notified of the reply? I think it’s only useful if it does that, really. Especially with sites I only go to for despair, or random clicking that I might not get back to again without a reminder/response…

I hope the threaded comments *is* in 2.7, and I hope it’s released soon. It does my head in to have to reply further down leaving original comments and replies detached and all poopy looking. Sure, I could install the proper plugin, but I’m lazy

fyi: on the front page when I clicked ‘comment’ under the entry, it didn’t go anywhere – you need the full URL in the comment link, not just #

@ Mab: It would be nice if the commenter could be notified of replies, but I don’t think it’ll be included in 2.7

@ Jem: Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope that 2.7 won’t disappoint us! I don’t like detached, poopy looking replies to comments either
Thanks for the notice, I’ve fixed it now!

As much as i love wordpress, the constant upgrades drive me mental – it seems as though as soon as I finish one upgrade another is released.

Hopefully the automatic upgrade option will save some time

@ Siobhan:

I know what you mean. I can’t remember the number of times when I accidentally overwrote my edited files when I upgrade, only to have to re-edit them all over again. This actually makes me feel a little iffy about using the automatic upgrade option…

@ Tina:
