Just thought I’d put up a quick post to let folks know I am aware of the issues/bugs with Organize Series in the newly released version of WordPress.  Unfortunately they are pretty major bugs and I will not be able to push out an update to Organize Series anytime soon.  I just don’t have the time.  To the impatient folk: I use Organize Series pretty extensively myself on my various blogs so I understand the pain this creates.  I’m forced to hold off on upgrading my own WordPress installs until I can update Organize Series so ideally I’d like to get this fix done sooner rather than later but it just isn’t going to happen.
