I am still running oxwall version 1.5.3 and I want to update it now. Are there any issues I should worry about, or the update will run reliably?

Maciej, please have a look at this topic http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/21778.
It would be better not to wait for so long time to update your software. In your case we can not guarantee the correct update of the software and the functionality. So, before you attempt to update, make sure that you:
- Make back up of your website;
- Run the platform update first, till updating all available plugins;
- Run theme update also only after the platform update.

Hey Maciej,

Well the script is much heavier and consumes more on the server now. The "Newsfeed", "Photo" and "Messaging" consumes a lot more now. So if you have many users you may have to switch to a VPS or dedicated server.
