I currently have sites running on 1.7.2 with no problems however I am setting up another site and considering 1.8.1.. has anyone been using it? and have you found any major bugs ? I know that 1,8.0 had problems so I am not sure if I should go with the new version or not..

Thanks,,

    Yes- you should go to 1.8.1. It has several security and performance enhancements.

    However, test the upgrade on a development system before upgrading your production store.

    Its always best practice to upgrade to latest version coz of enhancements in security fixes and other features. But make sure you have a backup of your site before you upgrade.

      Hi abhireddy,

      I took a quick peek at you website and see that you do not include the term "venfilia" in text anywhere on the homepage, except once in the footer with tiny text at the bottom of the page. Nor is the term included in your page title. You have done little to optimize your web page for that term, Google is just respecting your choice to not optimize for that term.

    Yes ! I am using Magento 1.8.1 it's very cool.
    Here are it's main features which isn't in 1.7:
    • Large databases (that is, more than one million products)
    • Heavy traffic volume
    • Frequent merchandising updates
    • Extensive marketing and promotion campaigns
    • Many web stores to address their customers' needs
