 * I first attempted to update from 3.0.5 to 3.1 via automatic update, and I have
   also create a fresh database table and wordpress installation.
 * I can see the WP-Admin pages and login to them and see the dashboard. But when
   attempting to browse the site, site doesnt load, waits for a few minute and then
   returns an error regarding a depreciated function called:
 * > update_category_cache()
 * I have no problems getting the 3.0.5 installation to work and I have since reverted
   back to it. **3.1 seems to be problematic and should be pulled before too many
   people autoupdate.**
 * (Windows IIS, WordPress 3.1, PHP 5.3.5)

 * Hi,
 * Now I’m not happy! It looks really complex and I’m loosing confidence in WP –
   fancy upgrading something that’s untested? Beggars belief!

    Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS):
   There were too many redirects.
