   I got it going on http://notdoneliving.net/ fine but found the process a bit bemusing.

   I'm running a child theme of my own built on Hybrid and didn't get notification there was a Hybrid upgrade available with the red circle as I'm used to for plugins and comments. When I went to the Themes page it showed 0.6 as available and I picked "automatic upgrade" and it warned me that my personal customisations would be lost (not true given it's a framework theme) and I clicked OK.

   It upgrades much like a plugin, here's the text:

   Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/hybrid.0.6.zip.
   
   Unpacking the update.
   
   Installing the latest version.
   
   Removing the old version of the theme.
   
   Theme upgraded successfully.
   
   Actions: Preview | Activate | Return to Themes page

   And I stupidly clicked 'Activate' because I wasn't thinking straight and then got panicked because my child theme wasn't displayed on the site and I had in my head that it had warned me I might lose my customisations and some part of my brain thought it had deleted my child theme or somethnig!

   Of course I went back to 'Themes' and activated my child theme again and all was perfecto, so the only problem I had was user error. But the whole thing is obviously not designed with parent/child themes in mind ... it obviously knows that Hybrid is my parent theme because on my Themes page it says "Not Done Living uses templates from Hybrid." I just felt like the process was not handled well for upgrading parent themes.

   I'd like to be:
   a) notified via the red circles there's an upgrade to either a parent or a child theme I'm using.
   b) told that any changes I've made to the name-of-theme-being-upgraded will be lost, not just "any changes" period which is confusing.
   c) When it's done, don't display the preview/activate/etc. with no other text if it's a parent theme. I bet I'm not the only one who was confused by it!

   But all in all the process worked fine. I'm just criticisising it's lack of user friendliness when using parent/child themes.

   Cheers,

   Where went the options to customize the title? My home page now reads 'Welcome!' and the post pages are 'Post name' and are missing my domain at the end of that.

   Just downloaded the .6 and it blew away my site styling of the child I had used. I was using using a custom child theme, then realized that I hadn't started with the hybrid original, I uploaded that through the upload zip function, then added the lines of code from my old custom. Presto-bango ... back in business. Should be seamless next time.

   Thanks.

   Have the instructions to change the columns around been documented yet?

   *LOL* the title meta box indeed says 'Welcome!' You know, you set these things up months ago and they fall right out of your ears. Eyes? My metaphor went flat. Fixed the front page.

   The function tweak doesn't seem to work, Justin. It's not returning anything. (That is the title of the page is still the title. It won't add on the blog name)

   Just finished my first update. Did it automatically. I'm glad Ricky mentioned not to activate if using a child theme, so I didn't make that mistake. The automatic part of the upgrade went without a hitch, except I had to make CSS changes to my child theme (since it was based on Hybrid Original).

   The things I had to change were: primary aside (add float:right); the hyperlink color and text-decoration; the page menu styling. There are a couple other little things to change, too.

   I wasn't expecting to lose my widgets, but before-content and after-content went inactive. I remade one of them completely before I realized it that WP 2.8 saved them for me in the inactive widgets! :)

   My continued thanks for a great theme and great support.

    Checked by putting in add_filter( 'the_title', 'my_title' ); and that works so it's not the function. Is wp_title being whacked by something else?

    When I upgraded this evening, my widgets didn't go anywhere. All I had to do was refresh my browser and readjust the settings of my Archives widget. Other than that, everything else stayed put.

    Justin,

    The series output is now missing below my single posts. What happened?

    I only noticed the series output missing hours after I upgraded.

    Love all the new features of Hybrid. I assume we have to use the shortcodes to add the links back in the footer.

    Working good so far, thought the 3c-c-fixed.css doesn't seem to lay correctly. I may play around with this in the AM and let you know if I can get it to sit better.

    Mine goes to 11, apparently, and works great!

    I'll double check the code. But I stopped checking IE6...
    Thanks.

    Figured it out, I believe you've got the wrong width on the .content in 3c-c-fixed.css

    screen.css (line 555)
    .content {
       margin:0 0 21px;
       width:580px;
    }

    when it should be width:480px;

    Hi Justin,
    I am about to upgrade some sites to Hybrid 6 & WP2.8 but want/need a 3 column left/content/right style.
    One of the sites is a good earner advertising wise & most of those bucks are made from the left column so I don't really want to change this for now.
    Whats your best suggestion on how to use 3c-c-fixed.css with a Hybrid child theme? ie. which stylesheets should be included & removed.
    Thanks, dave.

    Thanks! I thought it might be that, but was unsure.

    I upgraded the framework this evening and my utility header widget spot seems to have disappeared. Nothing shows up at all.

    My apologies for not checking out the forum thread that is stickied which explained how to fix the sidebar/widget problem.
