I would stay with version 1.5.3 until they get things working! Don’t update any plugins, save all of your current plugins. This is like the Heath Care roll out! BAD NEWS!

Wilson,
Sorry to hear that your update didn't go well Wilson.
I have helped hundreds of people with their updates in past week and I can tell that majority of all reported issues (about 70%) are connected to third party plugins/themes which are not yet compatible with 1.6.
Only about 20% of issues turned out to be real bugs either within the core platform or within our plugins. We are working on fixing all reported/confirmed bugs. Updated plugins and fixes are on their way.
I understand your recommendation to hold on with the update. However even if you wait for 1.6.3 with all the fixed bugs, you can't be 100% that update will go smoothly.
Therefore I strongly recommend to start trying to update now. If you don't want to do this on your live site, then make a full back of your site>>install it somewhere in subfolder creating a testing environment for updates. Try updating this test site, so that when you are ready to update your live site you are prepared and know what you are doing.
