Upgrading Drupal

Title says most of it.

I took over a site that was in desperate need of an upgrade. It is running 4.4.1. I am doing the upgrade on a test site, and after weeks of work, am almost there.

Lost HTML Capabilities when upgrading from 4.6.1 to 4.6.2

Administration Reference area - administer >> forums
I am using HTML tags formatting such as bold fonts and hyperlinks in both the forum containers (“add containers”) and in the forums (“add forum”). After upgrading from Drupal 4.6.1 to 4.6.2, I lost HTML formatting capabilities in these areas. Now these areas show the HTML tags and not the intended HTML formatting.

The following is an example forum container:

In Version 4.6.1, the html tags worked and appeared as follows:

I was just upgrading to 4.6.2. I followed the instructions given on update.php I had to create the new tables. user_roles and locales_meta. That went without error.

I put my old conf.php file back into place with my username/pw/database information in it, however, it doesn't seem that when the database.mysql.inc is called/run/whatever happens with it, it's not getting the information from conf.php.

I've doublechecked to make sure that $drupaldir/includes/conf.php was my original conf file. What am I missing?

Under 4.5 I modified taxonomy_render_nodes() in taxonomy module in order to get a simple listing of node titles. I have upgraded to 4.6.2 and the same modification works with the exception of the name of the poster, which doesn't appear. You can see a sample of the output here. Can someone tell me what is wrong with $node->name? I tried format_name($node) but that just gave 'anonymous' for the output. You'll see that I've also added tax_list() to theme.inc.

I just upgraded to 4.6.2. Previously, in 4.6.1 and 4.5.2 I used to be able to show full blog entries on my /blog/ page using check_output($node->body). Now if I just use $node->body, my blog entries show "n/a" values. It works ok to show teasers, but I don't like showing teasers on my blog.

Any idea why this is happening and how to circumvent using teasers?

Thanks,
Michael

I still have the little, "blog it" icon in blocks, but what happened to the links to "blog it' and "post as story" when viewing aggregator items in 4.6? I tried hand entering the url for a "post as story" and got nothing. Why isn't this supported anymore?
